Preliminary: only 2 sources count this week; some searches also catch other products; ranks move substantially when a source is left out. Compare each source below.
Gemini app gets the Gemini 4 Argon model and a tasks switch
What changed
Gemini 4 Argon is now in the Gemini app. A toggle switches a chat to tasks, so Gemini can keep working when you are away. Gemini now connects to more than 40 apps, like Instacart, OpenTable, Adobe and Shopify. The Antigravity coding view is built into the Gemini macOS app.
Why it matters
Paid subscribers get a new model and can hand off longer jobs inside the app they already use.
Grok Bot gets faster, works in X DMs and adds connectors
What changed
Grok Bot says computer tasks finish about 3x faster and other replies in under half the time. After you connect X, it can work across your X messages. Chat cards have a new design. Email plus-aliases can trigger set routines. New connectors include Robinhood, Coinbase, Trello, PostHog, beehiiv and eToro, and the connector marketplace takes submissions.
Why it matters
Faster tasks and DM access change what you can hand to the bot day to day.
Who is affected
Grok Bot users; X message features need a connected X account.
Needs review: the @bot post we could read only mentions quality, polish, speed and card design; the speed figures, X messages, aliases and connectors come from the NDTV Profit report
In Chat, ChatGPT can look across your open Chrome tabs and gather information. In Work, it can control your Chrome tabs, for example to send messages, fill out forms or download files, and group open tabs.
Why it matters
Work can now act inside the browser you already use, not only answer questions.
Hermes Agent v0.22.0: easier setup, and some defaults changed
What changed
A fresh desktop install starts a guided setup chat on a free trial model, so no API key is needed to begin. Connectors let Hermes act in apps like Linear and Notion. Local models install in one click. Installs follow tested stable releases by default. Changed: ended sessions inactive for 90 days are now deleted at startup unless you turn auto-prune off; chats no longer reset on an idle or daily timer; the Windows app now needs Windows 11 22H2 or newer; default macOS builds are Apple Silicon only.
Why it matters
Getting started is simpler, but old sessions can be deleted automatically and older Windows and Intel Macs lose the default desktop app.
Who is affected
New and existing Hermes Agent users, especially on Windows 10 or Intel Macs.
Plans
Free trial model for a first desktop install (once per OS user)
Meta's Muse Wonder models are out; Muse itself gets them later
What changed
Meta released the Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full models. Muse Wonder is available through the Meta Model API and Muse Code; Wonder Full is for Muse Code subscribers. Meta says Muse Wonder will soon power the Muse agent, rolling out first to subscribers.
Why it matters
This is a model release. The Muse agent has not changed yet; Meta only says it is coming.
Who is affected
Developers and Muse Code subscribers now; Muse subscribers later.
Plans
Muse Code subscribers (Wonder Full); Muse subscribers first when it reaches Muse
GPT-Live-1.1 brings new voices, better accents and fewer pauses to voice in ChatGPT, Codex and dots, with new voices in French, German, Hindi, Mexican Spanish, Korean and Japanese.
Why it matters

Grok Bot gets faster, reads X Chat and adds connectors
