AI-driven advancements are rapidly reshaping various sectors, with major developments announced across technology and infrastructure. OpenAI upgraded its Responses API, T-Mobile launched real-time phone translation, Uber Eats introduced an AI grocery assistant, and Caterpillar saw its stock surge, according to multiple sources.
OpenAI's latest updates to its Responses API, announced on February 10, 2026, included Server-side Compaction and Hosted Shell, signaling a shift away from limited AI agents, as reported by VentureBeat. This API allows developers to access multiple agentic tools like web search and file search with a single call.
T-Mobile is rolling out a real-time phone call translation service, leveraging AI to translate conversations in over 50 languages directly through its network, The Verge reported. Launching in beta this spring, the service eliminates the need for specific apps and will be accessible to users on the 5G Advanced network. The company aims to foster a greater sense of community through improved communication.
Uber Eats has introduced an AI-powered "Cart Assistant" to streamline grocery shopping, allowing users to generate lists via text or image prompts, according to The Verge. This technology leverages AI to interpret user requests and populate shopping carts, though users are advised to review orders carefully. This development raises questions about the future of online retail and the role of human oversight in AI-driven services.
Simultaneously, Caterpillar's stock performance surged, driven by its expansion into data centers, energy infrastructure, and AI-related markets, Fortune reported. The company's CEO outlined a strategy for continued growth.
These advancements come amid a broader transformation, with Vox reporting that AI could transform the economy by year’s end. "An exponential process is in motion – one that will inevitably shake the world to its core – and upend our economy, politics, and social lives," wrote Eric Levitz, a senior correspondent at Vox.
