Claude Can Now Take Greater Control Over Gmail, Google Drive With Updated Google Workspace Connectors

Claude users have had the option to connect their Google Workspace apps, including Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive, for a while now. However, the connectors missed a few basic abilities. Now, Anthropic has updated the Google Workspace connectors for its AI chatbot, Claude. The update brings the ability to allow Claude to reply to email threads, send emails, and do more in Gmail. On top of this, with the updated Google Workspace connectors, Claude can now manage files and folders in Google Drive for users. This adds to the existing features that are offered with Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Calendar connectors in Claude.

Cognition CEO denies report that SpaceX tried to acquire the startup

Cognition CEO denies report that SpaceX tried to acquire the startup

Elon Musk’s SpaceX attempted to acquire AI coding startup Cognition as it works to catch up to OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google in the AI race,Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter. Cognition CEO Scott Wu disputed the report soon after it published, writing on X that the story was inaccurate and that Cognition “is not for sale,” adding that the two companies haven’t been in talks. The report comes a few days after SpaceX’s$60 billion acquisitionof Cursor, another AI coding startup, whose dealclosedlast week. SpaceX acquired Musk’s AI company, xAI, earlier this year. It then went public in ablockbuster IPO inJune, with its market capitalization rising to nearly $2.3 trillion at its peak. SpaceX has sold investors on its AI ambitions, which include eventually buildingdata centers in space. But the xAI business remains relatively early-stage and has fallen behind competitors. It’s also had to contend with its chatbot Grok’s penchant for controversy, including last year’s“MechaHitler”incident and this year’snonconsensual sexual imagery scandals, as it tries to win over enterprise customers. Last week,Musk told SpaceX’s employeesthat in about “four or five years, AI will be 99% of the value” of the company, but achieving that feat will require SpaceX to pull in much more revenue from AI. AI-assisted coding has emerged as one of the clearest ways to monetize the technology. Anthropic’s meteoric growth, fueled in large part by Claude Code, is proof of that. Bringing Cursor into the fold was part of that equation, and the companies were already working together before the acquisition closed. This month, Cursor and SpaceX jointly released Grok 4.6, a new model that scores higher on benchmarks for coding and complex multi-step agentic tasks. Adding Cognition and its coding agent Devin — along with an enterprise customer base that includes Mercedes-Benz, Citi, and Goldman Sachs — would have given SpaceX another way to deepen its push into AI coding and compete for enterprise customers. Bloomberg reports that the deal talks are no longer active, but that the companies are still discussing working together — potentially with Cognition using SpaceX’s computing capacity, which the company isselling to other AI playerslike Anthropic until it needs that capacity for itself. Wu didn’t address this specific claim in his denial. Cognition remains one of the largest independent AI software coding startups that hasn’t yet been gobbled up by a major AI model maker. The company in late May raised a$1 billion roundat a $25 billion post-money valuation, and Bloomberg reports it’s now in early talks for a new round of funding at a$40 billion valuation. Cognition made headlines last year when it acquired the remaining assets of competitor Windsurf afterGoogle DeepMind acqui-hiredthe startup’s CEO and top research in a $2.4 billion deal for talent and licensing rights. After the merger,Cognition laid off 30 employeesand offered buyouts to the remaining 200 Windsurf employees. Those who decided to stay faced strict operational expectations, like a more than 80-hour workweek and six days in the office. That sort of wartime work ethic wouldn’t be out of place in a Musk company. Musk has said he works up to 120 hours a week and often sleeps on office or factory floors. SpaceX and Cognition did not respond to requests for comment.

OpenAI seeks to one-up Anthropic with new customer privacy protections

OpenAI seeks to one-up Anthropic with new customer privacy protections

As AI models have become more powerful, the potential for those models to be misused has grown — as has a clamor for safety guardrails that can stop such abuse from happening. AI companies must now walk a delicate tight rope between respecting their enterprise customers’ privacy while also watching usage for possible issues. Sensing an opportunity to one-up its rival Anthropic, OpenAI just announced a privacy-centric safety approach to monitoring for misuse. The companyis previewinga new service to select customers that it calls Private Safety Processing. This is an automated system that watches for potential abuse while simultaneously retaining none of the customer’s data. This system clearly runs counter to Anthropic’srecently announceddata-retention policy. The policy, which has aggravated some customers, enables the AI lab to keep user data (all of their sessions — and the conversations therein) for a period of 30 days, when it comes to “covered models.” Those models include all Mythos-class models and “future models with similar capabilities,” the company says. This policy, which was announced in July, was designed for the purposes of safety, allowing the lab to sift and analyze potential impropriety. However, ithas deeply concernedsome enterprises that handle large amounts of sensitive data and don’t want it harbored (or inspected) by the AI lab. OpenAI — like most other AI companies — already afford customers a relative level of privacy by adhering to a policy known as Zero Data Retention. ZDR uses agents within the OpenAI API to monitor for abuse on a per session basis. In this way, customer data isn’t retained by the company but companies are still able to scan for bad activity without the need for human intervention. It’s worth noting that Anthropic also largely abides by ZDR — except when it comes to “covered models,” like Fable. OpenAI says that Private Safety Processing is a new technology that widens ZDR’s scope. It describes it as a form of long-horizon safety monitoring that assesses the inputs and outputs of multiple conversations — not just one. Again, the monitoring is conducted by an agent, which, if triggered, catches interactions and analyzes them across sessions for signs of potential misuse. The new tech helps OpenAI detect malicious use of AI that takes place over multiple sessions, a spokesperson told TechCrunch. A bad actor — hypothetically someone trying to engineer malware for a cyberattack — may spread out their requests to avoid detection. Private Safety Processing can analyze those multiple conversations for signs of abuse without human review of a user’s conversations. In the case where the system is triggered, it may send a “narrowly defined signal” to OpenAI that warns of a specific type of activity, the company says. Based on that signal, OpenAI can then decide whether “enforcement is necessary,” it says. If so, OpenAI will reach out to the customer for more context or to work with them on the issue and a customer may choose to share data with OpenAI at their discretion, the spokesperson said. By contrast, Anthropic notes that human review of customer data can occur, but only “through a controlled access path” that involves “a small set of approved reviewers.” Every one of those review sessions is “recorded in a tamper-proof log that reviewers cannot suppress or modify,” the company says. The corporate competition between OpenAI and Anthropic is tense at the moment, with both companies looking for any opportunity to gain an advantage on the other. Arecent reportshowed that OpenAI’s Q2 grew more slowly than Anthropic. Anthropic’s annualized revenue run rateis now reportedly $65 billion. Anthropic investors have said itcould IPO at $2 trillion, while OpenAIis also working on its IPO.
