Giving one of the emojis is a beachball made of primary colors, the Verge suggested that the brand could be hinting at a 2-in-1 style Chromebook with a 360-degree hinge. This design allows devices to be used in different stances, other than the standard clamshell laptop form.

Framework also detailed that pre-orders for at least one of its new products will be available on launch day. The brand urges that consumers create an account if they are interested in getting early access.

The event will be Framework’s first major launch in two years. The brand last unveiled devices in March 2023, which include the Framework Laptop 16, and two Framework Laptop 13 models. Since then the brand has kept its products up to date following the latest components on the market. Notably, the brand launched a Framework Laptop Chromebook edition device in 2022 that was considered innovative at the time.

Framework is also opening invites to its upcoming event to enthusiasts, especially those who frequent the brand’s online forum. “In addition to bringing in press and partners, we’re opening a pool of invites to the Framework Community to attend the event in person, meet the team, and get hands-on with our newest products,” Framework said in a statement.

Those interested in attending can apply here to attend the event. The brand noted that applying does not guarantee an invitation.

For those who can’t make it in person, Framework will be streaming the event on YouTube.

Microsoft has begun rolling out Copilot Code for building apps with natural language

The workplace-focused vibe coding tool can pull context from emails, documents, meetings, and chats.

Microsoft introduced Code last month as one of the three core parts of its revamped Copilot app. The app was pitched as an easy-to-use coding agent that lets users describe what they want to build in natural language, like an app, a tracker, a dashboard, an automation, or a workflow, and Copilot would build it for them.

Essentially, it's a workplace-focused vibe-coding app that turns existing work into a functional app, and Microsoft has begun rolling it out through the Frontier program.

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks

US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves

Banking

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.

Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.
