European AI lab Aleph Alpha introduced Kolibri, an open-weight reasoning Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model built for regulated enterprise environments, activating just 3.46B parameters per token across a 1M-token context window. Meanwhile, Anthropic expanded its conversational AI research initiative, utilizing "Anthropic Interviewer" to conduct voice-led qualitative studies on how over 1,250 professionals navigate productivity, dependence, and job security alongside AI.

• Anthropic leveraging its autonomous AI interviewer system to collect qualitative insights from 1,250 professionals on workplace AI integration.
• Open-source platform expanding desktop execution capability with built-in plugin and workspace support for agentic task completion.
