On September 21, ITHome joined BMW's first public-road test drive of its Intelligent Driving Assist in Nanjing. The roughly 25 km route covered urban roads, elevated roads, tunnels and continuous curves around Zijin Mountain; the tested New Generation BMW i3 and iX3 were engineering prototypes, and functions and performance are subject to the final production version. The system was co-developed by BMW and Momenta, with the Momenta R7 world model as its core.

Microsoft released a new Copilot “super app” that brings chat, coding, and agents into one interface, positioned as “AI built for work.” CEO Satya Nadella then said on X that Microsoft is building Copilot into a new work operating system for all models, all work scenarios, and all tasks.

T-Head reported a new round of open-source releases for T-Head SAIL, its Zhenwu AI chip software stack.

Developers on paid Claude plans can submit plugins through a new portal, either by connecting a single remote MCP server or by submitting a GitHub-hosted bundle of MCP servers and skills. After approval, developers choose when to publish; once live, they can view installs by product surface and version.

Built on the Taskflow Agent, the tool can identify fuzzing entry points in a GitHub repository, write harnesses, run AFL++, use coverage reports to improve the harnesses, triage crashes, and generate vulnerability reports. The author advises running it in a disposable environment without elevated privileges because it executes build commands on the host; its vulnerability verdicts and suggested patches require human review.

Google is testing a new Gemini feature called “Call for Me,” which can call businesses on a user's behalf for tasks such as checking stock or making restaurant reservations. It initially rolls out to U.S. Pixel 11 owners with a paid Gemini subscription and requires the beta Android Phone app; users can follow calls live and take over at any time.

GitHub says the GitHub Copilot app has rebuilt its pull request view to keep reviews fast and smooth even when the diff and conversation are enormous. To test the limit, the team opened an open source pull request with 2,200 files, over a million changed lines, and more than 400 inline review comments. The new view separates deterministic code height from dynamic comment-block heights, and uses viewport-scoped lazy measurement plus identity-based scroll anchoring.

OpenAI announced that users will be able to trigger workflows such as drafting documents and summarizing emails by voice on mobile. Plus and Pro users will be able to create documents, draft emails, and summarize Slack messages in the phone’s Work tab; Free and Go users will get access to plugins and connected apps.

YouTube announced updates to YouTube Studio at its Made on YouTube event, adding AI draft feedback, a research feed, and thumbnail and title generation. The draft-feedback feature reviews unpublished videos and suggests improvements to pacing, structure, and storytelling, while Ask Studio expands to iOS and Android. Dynamic thumbnails can generate three options and show each to a different audience segment.

Google is refocusing its CC AI agent on household coordination. It lets families share emails, schedules, and tasks so the AI can manage calendars, fill out forms, make shopping lists, plan meals, and more.
