COGNITION AI

The Rundown: Cognition AI just introduced Devin, an autonomous AI agent that can independently write entire software projects from scratch based on simple text prompts.
The details:
Devin can plan and execute complex coding tasks with hundreds of steps.
The autonomous agent can code while learning, fixing bugs, and collaborating with users in real time.
In demos, Devin built complete websites and apps in under 10 minutes and successfully completed real gigs posted on Upwork by itself.
On a coding benchmark, the AI agent solved 13.86% of real-world GitHub issues end-to-end, crushing the previous SOTA benchmark of 1.96%.
Why it matters: Cognition AI isn't just claiming to have built a better coding assistant but a truly artificial software engineer. If it lives up to the hype, Devin could be the first true look into a future where anyone can spawn an AI worker to build a concept, no coding skills required.

On the right side, you’ll see a list of Copilot GPTs to choose from.
Pick your favorite and start chatting with it.
If you have a Copilot Pro Account, you can also create your own by clicking: “See all Copilot GPTs" and then "Create a new Copilot GPT".
Lastly, follow the creation chat or write the details on the “Configure” tab and hit “Publish” when done!
AI IN THE MEDIA

The Rundown: A Pulitzer Prize administrator just revealed that five of this year's 45 top journalist finalists disclosed using AI in their reporting process for the first time ever.
The details:
The Pulitzer Prize is a prestigious award for achievements in journalism, magazines, and literature in the United States.
Submissions noted using AI in processes including research, reporting, and storytelling.
The Pulitzer Board also added an AI usage disclosure requirement for the first time this year.
Why it matters: With more outlets adopting AI and partnering with major firms, it's clear that tech has a role to play in journalism’s future — and the top award panels seem to agree. But AI still faces an uphill battle with legacy media to be seen as a tool rather than a replacement or plagiarism machine.
