OpenAI released GPT-5.6-Sol, Terra, and Luna models, with Sol priced at $5/$30 per input/output million tokens compared to Fable at $10/$50. Sol demonstrated capabilities including proving the 50-year-old Cycle Double Cover Conjecture using 64 subagents in under one hour and outperforming physician-written responses in healthcare evaluations. The models are positioned for practical task execution and coding work, with Sol serving as a cost-effective alternative to Fable despite trailing it on raw capability benchmarks.

Thira, a startup founded by Apptio's Sunny Gupta and Kurt Shintaffer, is building AI agents to automate IT back-office processes that CIOs currently handle manually across multiple systems. The company raised $21 million in seed funding led by Madrona and has signed ten design partners ahead of a fall launch, initially targeting two repetitive IT processes out of six or seven identified. Thira differentiates itself through trust features like audit trails and rollbacks, offering semi-autonomous and fully autonomous modes, and plans to integrate with existing enterprise platforms rather than replace them.

Visa built an agentic AI workflow within Elastic Security to automate triage of high-stakes mainframe security alerts previously requiring manual investigation. Triage time for the mainframe identity detection dropped from 10–20 minutes to seconds by chaining two queries, adding an LLM validation step, and delivering results directly to the incident response ticketing system via webhook. The four-stage pipeline pattern is now reusable across other detections and may absorb additional response automation currently handled by a separate SOAR platform.

Osaurus is a macOS application that runs open-source AI models locally on Apple Silicon Macs without sending data to external servers. The software is free, MIT-licensed, and allows users to integrate ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for specific tasks while maintaining a shared memory across all models. Users can build autonomous agents with voice control, file monitoring, and browser extensions that operate offline and independently.
