Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 headphones are now available for $399 on Amazon, a significant discount from their original price, according to Wired. Meanwhile, Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.6, an AI model offering near-flagship intelligence at a mid-tier cost, as reported by VentureBeat. In other tech news, Qodo 2.1 launched a new system to solve coding agents' "amnesia" problem, and the audio landscape continues to evolve with AI-powered solutions, as highlighted by MIT Technology Review.
The Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 headphones, known for their active noise cancellation, are currently available at a reduced price of $399 on Amazon, a $50 discount from the original price of $449, according to Wired. This deal is available for the black and driftwood sand colors, while other colors remain at full price.
Anthropic's new AI model, Claude Sonnet 4.6, was released on Tuesday, offering near-flagship intelligence at a lower cost, VentureBeat reported. The model is a full upgrade across coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, knowledge work, and design, and features a 1M token context window in beta. The pricing remains steady at $15 per million tokens, the same as its predecessor, Sonnet 4.5. This pricing strategy is seen as a significant move in the AI industry.
Qodo, the AI code review startup, launched Qodo 2.1, which includes an intelligent Rules System for AI governance. This system aims to give AI code reviewers persistent, organizational memory, addressing the issue of temporary memory in coding tools, as reported by VentureBeat. The new system is designed to replace the need for developers to save state to markdown and text files. The new system is expected to give an 11% precision boost.
The audio and communications landscape is also evolving, with AI and new acoustic technologies playing a key role in improving communication, according to MIT Technology Review. The shift towards remote work accelerated innovation in this area. "Audio and video just working is a baseline for collaboration," said Brendan Ittelson, chief ecosystem officer at Zoom.
