Substack adds AI detection tool to help readers spot AI-written posts

Anker is launching the Eufy MindBase, a local AI hub for smart home security that runs an on-device language model developed by Anker. The device processes camera footage locally without sending data to the cloud and functions as a Matter-compatible smart home hub. Anker is also releasing additional security products including the TrackLight Cam S1, S4 video doorbell, and a window camera.

Google released two variants of Gemini 3.8 Flash on Wednesday, a standard version optimized for agentic tasks and software development, and Flash Cyber designed for vulnerability detection. The standard model outperforms many frontier models on coding benchmarks at lower cost, while Flash Cyber achieved 86.2% on the CyberGym benchmark and a 70% success rate discovering vulnerabilities across 20 programming languages. Both models are available now at the same introductory pricing as 3.7 Flash.

AIR has raised $50 million to build a platform that discovers AI agents operating within companies, continuously monitors the skills and add-ons they use, and blocks unwanted behavior. The funding addresses a growing operational challenge as enterprises deploy multiple AI agents without full visibility into their capabilities and actions. The platform serves companies seeking to maintain control and security over AI agent deployments.

Perplexity launched hybrid compute for its Computer platform, allowing a single AI agent to split work between cloud-based frontier models and locally-running open-weight models on Apple silicon Macs. Sensitive data is routed to the local machine via a trained PII classifier called a Privacy Gate, ensuring confidential information never leaves the device while the agent maintains task context. The feature is available today for enterprise customers and Pro/Max subscribers on macOS 15 or later.
