OpenAI's acquisition of OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent, signals a shift in the AI landscape, moving the focus from model outputs to practical applications. Peter Steinberger, OpenClaw's creator, is joining OpenAI, while the project transitions to an independent foundation, sponsored by OpenAI. This move, announced over the weekend, suggests a strategic bet on AI agents, according to VentureBeat.
The acquisition comes as Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.6, a model delivering near-flagship intelligence at a mid-tier cost. This model, which includes upgrades across coding, computer use, and long-context reasoning, is now the default in claude.ai and Claude Cowork. The pricing remains steady at $315 per million tokens, a significant contrast to Anthropic's flagship Opus models, which cost $1575 per million tokens, VentureBeat reported.
In the realm of gaming, GameSir plans to introduce its Windows emulation tool, GameHub, to macOS. This app, already available on Android, aims to provide Mac owners with another way to play Windows games, according to Ars Technica. GameSir, known for its gaming peripherals, will be entering the macOS market with this new offering.
Meanwhile, the Dell XPS 14 laptop is making waves by foregoing discrete graphics options in favor of Intel's new Panther Lake chips. This design choice, as noted by Wired, results in a remarkably thin and light device with impressive GPU performance. The laptop, which Dell attempted to discontinue in 2025, is now back with a focus on integrated graphics.
Password managers, used by an estimated 94 million US adults, are also facing scrutiny. While they promise zero-knowledge encryption to protect user data, the reality isn't always straightforward, Ars Technica reported. These tools, which store sensitive information like financial and cryptocurrency credentials, are evolving, but their security claims are complex.
