November 18, 2025, 10:42 PM EST. Microsoft is turning Windows into an agentic OS by integrating AI agents into the Windows 11 taskbar. The update fuses Microsoft 365 Copilot with local search and adds third-party agents, letting them run in the background and automate routine tasks. Users can hover the taskbar to monitor an agent's progress, interact via a floating window, and receive badges when attention is needed or tasks finish. The new Ask Copilot feature blends file search with conversational AI and task execution. The shift emphasizes opt-in controls, giving users choice over when to engage with Copilot. Microsoft is embedding AI capabilities into core Windows components to enable scalable agent-based workflows.

November 18, 2025, 10:40 PM EST. Google unveils Gemini 3, embedding its latest AI model into products-from day one of launch. The upgrade arrives 11 months after Gemini 2 and underlines Google's bid to stay ahead in the AI race as Gemini powers revenue-generating tools, notably the search experience. CEO Sundar Pichai calls it "our most intelligent model." For the first time, Gemini 3 is embedded in Google Search from day one, with paying subscribers gaining AI Mode, which delivers generated answers rather than standard links. New features include improvements in coding and reasoning, plus Gemini Agent to handle multi-step tasks like inbox triage or travel planning. The move supports a broader "universal assistant" vision (codenamed AlphaAssist), while the redesigned Gemini app aims to present results as an on-demand interface, potentially reshaping web traffic for publishers.

November 18, 2025, 10:34 PM EST. Dell today expanded its server lineup with the PowerEdge XE9785 family designed for enterprise-scale AI workloads, powered by AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs and AMD EPYC CPUs. The XE9785 and its liquid-cooled XE9785L pack eight MI355X GPUs per node and dual EPYC CPUs, with the L variant fitting 128 GPUs in a single 42U rack. The MI355X ships 288GB of HBM3E per GPU and supports FP6/FP4 for large-model inference and quantized workloads. Dell contrasts this with NVIDIA's Grace Blackwell NVL, noting NVLink-domain benefits are not essential for most tasks. The air-cooled XE9785 spans 10U with up to 40 PFLOPS per machine. Networking comes from Pensando Pollara 400 NICs and PowerSwitch AI fabric. Dell also promotes the PowerEdge R770AP (Intel Xeon) and an Automation Platform featuring AI tooling like Tabnine.
