OpenAI launched a preview of the ChatGPT desktop application for Linux with the Codex agent included. It supports Ubuntu 24.04/26.04, Debian 13 and Fedora 43/44 on both x64 and ARM64, but lacks computer use for controlling desktop applications.
New: Computer use is not available in the preview; controlling desktop applications (GIMP, OpenOffice) is not possible; The application explicitly supports x64 and ARM64 architectures with .deb and .rpm packages; It includes a built-in browser, Chrome extensions and voice control; The Mac and Windows versions were released in July 2026; The application provides a visual interface for tracking projects, files and code changes; CLI remains more accessible for terminal users
The startup River AI, founded by Igor Babuschkin, the founder of xAI, raised 1.1 billion dollars in a round led by General Catalyst and AMP PBC, with participation from Nvidia, AMD Ventures, Y Combinator and Temasek. It offers an API for RL and LoRA fine-tuning of open models.
Google Research and Google DeepMind presented the AMIE research system, which conducts clinical video consultations in real time. In a study with simulated patients, it achieved expert-level performance in both diagnosis and communication, according to the company; it remains a research system with no deployment plan.
FCC banned imports of new Chinese humanoid robots and voltage converters in late July 2026 on national security grounds. China (Unitree, Agibot) dominates the market; analysts expect a strategic rather than immediate impact and pressure to diversify suppliers.

Journalist Casey Newton (Platformer) criticizes Mark Zuckerberg’s essay on superintelligence for overlooking risks, including job automation. He compares superintelligence to a dragon – a visible but hard-to-imagine power.
NVIDIA has made the open-source model Nemotron 3.5 Lightning (30B parameters, 3B active per token, MoE) available in Ollama for local AI agents. It supports a context of up to 1M tokens, runs on NVIDIA GPUs as well as Apple silicon and can be further trained for custom tasks.
According to procurement documents, ICE will pay LexisNexis 6.7 million dollars for data (LexID, Accurint) linked to systems from Palantir, including AI identification of people and facial recognition for deportation operations.
AI Radar monitors Czech and international sources every day, looking for changes that truly deserve attention.
The result is a quick overview of what has actually changed in the AI world, rather than another stream of articles.
Use the CS/EN switch to read the same Radar in Czech or English. English content is published after its translation has been checked, so new and older items may appear later.
Each row represents one event — not one article. At a glance, you can see its significance, credibility and main point.
Illustrative example, not a current news item.
Agent mode is available to all paying users
Until now, the mode was available only on the highest plan; it is now available on all paid tiers without a waitlist.
The detail page contains a fuller summary, its significance and original sources. Practical impact appears in the detail and the For individuals and For businesses views. An AI Flash item reaches the main selection only after it has been expanded and meets the publication rules.
We first summarize each event in the same way for everyone. Based on those same facts, we then explain what the change means for your own use and what it could mean for how a company operates.
Today’s briefing is the same for everyone. Pages For individuals and For businesses can be found in the main navigation — they select only events relevant to the given use case.
