ByteDance's AI coding tool TRAE upgrades to 2.0 with enhanced coding, voice interaction, and multi-modal support, integrating Claude/DeepSeek models for Copilot-like functionality.....

Anthropic launches 'Claude', an AI solution for finance, adopted by Visa and PwC. It boosts audit efficiency, cuts research time from 4-5 hours to 30 mins, ensures compliance, and provides real-time data via partners like S&P Global.....

Claude AI introduces a major update with 'Apps & Tools Directory', enabling seamless AI-tool integration via MCP protocol. It supports both web and desktop MCP services for popular tools like Asana and GitHub, transforming Claude into a workflow platform.....

UTCP, as an alternative to MCP, directly connects tool endpoints via JSON-defined functions, eliminating proxy layers for lower latency while maintaining security. Its simplicity and compatibility spark developer interest as a potential AI tool standard.....

Global developers have introduced a universal tool calling protocol (UTCP), allowing AI agents to directly call various tools without relying on proxy servers. Compared to traditional MCP protocols, UTCP supports native interfaces such as HTTP and gRPC, significantly reducing calling latency and complexity. The protocol retains existing enterprise security measures while providing SDKs in TypeScript and Python. Developers can participate in improving the protocol through open-source projects. UTCP has the potential to open up new pathways for AI tool integration.

A dramatic acquisition has recently taken place in the AI coding field: Cognition acquired Windsurf company. Previously, this company had experienced a $2.4 billion reverse talent acquisition by Google and an unsuccessful $3 billion acquisition offer from OpenAI. Windsurf generates $82 million in annual revenue, has 350 enterprise clients, and tens of thousands of daily active users. After the acquisition, Cognition will integrate Windsurf's AI development environment with its own Devin coding assistant and regain access to the Claude AI model. This deal marks another significant move in the competition.

ByteDance's Pico is developing a lightweight MR glasses, weighing only 127 grams. It uses a split design to transfer computing tasks to an external processing unit and is developing a dedicated chip to reduce latency. This move directly targets Meta's MR strategy, as the latter has paused the development of Quest 4 and shifted towards lightweight devices. Both major companies are betting on split-style MR glasses, indicating that the industry is transitioning from traditional VR headsets to more compact forms.

On July 11, PixVerse AI video creation platform, which has surpassed 60 million global users, announced a major feature upgrade — the addition of the 'Multi-Keyframe Generation' function in the Start-End Frame module. This marks a new stage in AI video creation, transitioning from the generation of single segments to narrative expression. Users can now upload up to 7 images as keyframes via the web version's start-end frame feature, and the AI will automatically analyze the semantic relationships between frames, intelligently building smooth action and scene transition paths. This technological breakthrough enables static images to be presented dynamically.

IndexTTS2 is an upcoming film-grade TTS model with 3 breakthroughs: 1) Local deployment & open weights; 2) Zero-shot voice cloning; 3) Pioneering emotion cloning. Supports precise duration control for dubbing (Chinese/English).....

Meta and Berkeley developed StreamDiT for real-time AI video generation: 1) 16fps 512p on single GPU, 4B-param model creates 1-min videos with live edits; 2) Novel buffer enables parallel processing (2 frames/0.5s) with 8-step optimization; 3) Trained on 3K HD videos + 2.6M dataset; 4) Outperforms rivals in motion smoothness, 30B-param version shows quality potential; 5) Enables interactive video despite transition flaws.....
