# AI Round-up: 6 August 2026

## Summary

Google reshuffled its AI leadership as Demis Hassabis moved from DeepMind chief executive to chairman and chief scientist Jeff Dean left after 27 years. The change drew coverage across CNBC, The Verge and YouTube, while reporting examined the departure of key builders during Google's continued AI expansion.

Meta launched Muse Code, an agent designed for large codebases, while OpenAI highlighted Voice in Codex to an audience of 102,000 measured X views. GitHub showcased stacked Copilot sessions, Runway previewed Seedance 2.5, and Together AI promoted Kimi K3's autonomous legal benchmark results.

1. Builders are finding new ways to build out loud with Voice in Codex. Talk through an idea, start a new Codex session when it takes shape, and check in on your other threads along the way: Jason @j_everso Aug 4 Totally jamming with Codex voice mode.  Talk in one chat, it's where you riffa and when you land on a solid outcome it will fire up a new session to start the work using all of your existing tools.   The voice chat is your manager that can check in on all other chats.  It's sick. 64 33 660 102K

Builders can use Together AI as an inference provider in Roomote and assign different open models to coding, planning, vision, and review across the agent workflow. Matt Rubens @mattrubens Jul 30 Article Don't let someone else own your software factory. Cloud agents are the future. You shouldn’t have to choose between renting a black box and building one from scratch. Roomote is a third option: a cloud agent you can run, inspect, adapt, and own. --... 5 2.4K
