Windows users finally get the full Claude desktop experience. Cowork brings multi-step task execution, local file access, and MCP connectors to the platform. Same capabilities that macOS has had, now with full feature parity. If you’ve been running Claude through the browser on Windows, this changes things.
Deep Research just leveled up. It now runs on GPT-5.2, pulls from Google Drive and SharePoint in read-only mode, and lets you whitelist specific domains. You can also steer the research mid-run and export finished reports to Markdown, Word, or PDF. If you’ve been waiting to plug it into your workflow, now’s the time.
Warp has shipped Oz, a new layer for running AI coding agents in isolated cloud environments. You can schedule runs, pipe in secrets, and get full logs without cluttering your local machine. Think of it as mission control for your SWE agents. The scheduling alone is great for anyone running agents overnight.

Interesting AI
Isomorphic Labs‘s Drug Design Engine benchmarks are turning heads. It more than doubles AlphaFold 3’s accuracy on the hardest protein-ligand predictions, the ones furthest from training data, where generalization matters most.
But structure prediction is only part of it. IsoDDE can identify hidden binding pockets on proteins using only the amino acid sequence. It predicted the location of a recently discovered “cryptic site” on cereblon that took researchers 15 years to find experimentally. On a computer. In seconds.
This is the kind of capability that rewrites how drugs get designed. Still internal to Isomorphic for now, but the technical report is public.
