Tick Tock, Tech Talk
Anthropic has introduced a new beta feature for Claude that enables users to create, host, and share AI-driven applications directly within the Claude interface, no separate API charges required. Claude can generate real code and manage technical functions, though the feature comes with some constraints, such as limited access to external APIs and no support for saving data long-term.
Google has released Gemma 3n, a multimodal open-weight model optimized for on-device use, accepting text, images, and audio. Launched with partners like NVIDIA, AMD, Hugging Face, and Docker, it’s accessible across many platforms.
ElevenLabs has launched 11.ai, a low-latency AI voice assistant built for real-time, natural interactions. What sets it apart is its ability to handle multi-step workflows using deep MCP integrations with tools like Perplexity, Linear, Slack, and Notion. From task management to research and communication, 11.ai brings hands-free productivity to everyday workflows across popular platforms.
