Welcome back, Superhuman. Can you feel the acceleration? Not only are AI companies constantly releasing new products at breakneck speed, but they’re also improving what’s already out there. Google just did both. But Meta still stole the show on a day of relentless releases.
Today: Claude gets background computer use, how to turn messy files into polished Word docs with Claude, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts.

1. Meta lands major surprise with new frontier model: Zuck and co are back in the game with Muse Spark 1.3, a new model from the Instagram maker that puts Meta on par with frontier offerings from Anthropic and OpenAI. The model is currently free on OpenCode, with API pricing significantly lower compared to many comparable offerings. Zuckerberg described the new model as “frontier performance almost too cheap to meter.“
2. Alphabet releases a new image tool and cost-efficient Gemini model: Google Pics generates Nano-Banana-quality images with precise editing, letting you adjust text or individual elements directly. It integrates across Google Workspace’s tools and is generally available to Workspace, AI Pro, and Ultra customers. The tech leader also debuted Gemini 3.8 Flash, a cost-efficient reasoning model and its third Flash model in six weeks.
3. Anthropic rolls out background computer use for Claude: Claude Cowork and Claude Code can now run in the background to complete tasks on your computer, freeing you up to do other things. The feature is in beta on Pro and Max plans on macOS, and only works for apps you’ve given Claude access to. Anthropic also published a prompting guide for Fable 5.1 that includes instructions to make Claude write more clearly.

FROM THE FRONTIER
The AI boom is built on Nvidia — but the chip giant is facing threats from every direction
Made with Midjourney
Just three years ago, Nvidia was doing roughly $7B in quarterly revenue. Now it’s up to $96B and is on track to command 75% of the AI accelerator market in 2026. Nvidia’s GPUs still train and run almost every large model, but competitors are eager to disrupt its dominance:
Startups are pitching updated chip designs: Chip startups raised $8.3B as of April, with many arguing GPUs were never purpose-built for AI, so leaner designs can cut costs and energy requirements.
AI leaders are expanding quickly: OpenAI claims its first chip Jalapeño offers industry-leading performance, Anthropic is hiring hardware execs, and rival chipmaker Cerebras just went public in May to raise fresh funding.
Big Tech is catching up: Google launched two new chips in April, Amazon is constantly improving its Trainium line, and Microsoft is expected to unveil the new Maia 300 at some point this month. That’s on top of existing competition from AMD and Broadcom.
China is becoming increasingly self-reliant: Nvidia controlled 66% of China’s accelerator market in 2024, but is on track to own just 8% in 2026 as China approaches self-sufficiency.
Nvidia’s still far out in front. The chipmaker’s real moat is CUDA, the software system that millions of developers are building on. And, even as competitors ship viable alternatives, the industry is expanding faster than any single challenger can absorb.
