Anthropic launched Claude Tag, a Slack-native integration enabling asynchronous, teamwide delegation to Claude, positioning it as a "multiplayer, async, and proactive" workflow layer distinct from the solo, synchronous Claude Code. Internally, Claude Tag has been used to write and merge 65% of the product team's code and PRs. The feature is currently in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team plans, allowing admins to grant Claude access to selected channels, tools, data, and codebases within Slack. Product lead Cat Wu highlighted its flexibility with "100s of ways" to customize workflows, framing it as a team management tool rather than a simple AI assistant.

Ollama enhanced its models by integrating Cohere's R7B, optimized for RAG and tool use tasks, and released Ollama v0.5.5 with quality updates and a new engine. Together AI launched the Llama 3.3 70B multimodal model with improved reasoning and math capabilities, while OpenBMB introduced the MiniCPM-o 2.6, outperforming GPT-4V on visual tasks. Insights into Process Reward Models (PRM) were shared to boost LLM reasoning, alongside Qwen2.5-Math-PRM models excelling in mathematical reasoning. LangChain released a beta for ChatGPT Tasks enabling scheduling of reminders and summaries, and introduced open-source ambient agents for email assistance. OpenAI rolled out Tasks for scheduling actions in ChatGPT for Plus, Pro, and Teams users. AI software engineering is rapidly advancing, predicted to match human capabilities within 18 months. Research on LLM scaling laws highlights power law relationships and plateauing improvements, while GANs are experiencing a revival.
