Anthropic has launched an auto mode for Claude Code that blocks potentially dangerous autonomous actions before execution. The feature, now available as a research preview for Team plan users, acts as a middle ground between constant user oversight and unrestricted agent autonomy.

Anthropic has expanded Claude's autonomous capabilities to its Code and Cowork AI tools, allowing the model to control your Mac's mouse, keyboard, and display to complete tasks without manual intervention. The research preview is available now for Claude Pro and Max subscribers on macOS only, with support for other operating systems coming later.

Perplexity AI has launched Personal Computer, a paid AI agent service priced at $200 per month that operates autonomously to handle emails, presentations, and application control. The service aims to provide continuous AI assistance for routine digital tasks without human intervention.

OpenAI has launched GPT-5.4, its latest model with native computer use capabilities that allow it to operate computers and complete tasks across applications. The release represents a step toward autonomous AI agents that can handle complex jobs independently. The model includes advancements in reasoning, coding, and professional work with spreadsheets, documents, and presentations.

Arcada Labs, an AI benchmarking startup, has created a new benchmark that pits five leading AI models against each other as autonomous social media agents on X. The test measures how well different models can operate independently on the platform.
