SoftBank subsidiary SB Intuitions has launched a free beta of its Japan-developed generative AI, Sarashina. Here’s a look at what users can try with chat and six API models, along with the conditions to check before using the service.

Google’s Gemini 4 development build Carbon has reportedly received an internal assessment that it has programming capabilities close to those of Anthropic’s Opus 5.5. However, the comparison is based on an employee’s experience using the model, and no performance figures have been published.

Meta has announced its new AI model, “Muse Wonder,” and a higher-end version. The models emphasize remembering across conversations and seeing difficult tasks through, though their strengths vary by area. We’ll also look at the rollout and safety developments.

Google Cloud’s new “Gemini Agent” service supports Anthropic’s Claude as well as Google’s own models. It is designed to avoid reliance on a single model and let users choose models according to the task, but pricing and plans for availability in Japan have not been announced.

Asana’s browser-operating AI reduced estimated model costs to about one-seventy-sixth by revising its history management and switching models. The figures show that efficiency depended not only on model choice, but also on how information passed to the AI was handled.

In its evaluation of browser automation AI, Asana reduced estimated model costs to $0.47 per run. The 76-fold improvement came not only from switching models, but also from rethinking how browsing history is retained and reused.

Jev is an AI that returns answers such as “Is it an ad?”, “Where should it be classified?”, or “What score should it get?” rather than writing text. This article explains how to integrate it into apps and what to watch for when adopting it—details that a demo alone may not reveal.
