AI Round-up: 12 August 2026
ChatGPT's Linux desktop preview
OpenAI previewed the ChatGPT desktop app for Linux with ChatGPT Work and Codex support, while a companion update added imports and optional syncing for projects, chats, skills and plugins from other agents. The launch drew 1.2 million measured X views, and GitHub began rolling out Microsoft's MAI-Code-1.1-Flash in Copilot.
Google said Gemini passed one billion monthly users as CNBC examined the challenge facing its new AI leadership. Riot Platforms signed a $9.1 billion infrastructure deal with Anthropic, IBM and Together AI agreed a $240 million inference-cluster deal, and fresh reporting covered Manus's split from Meta, River AI's $1.1 billion raise and growing cybersecurity spending around agent capabilities.
