  2. Kimi — Kimi Hosted Agents launched

    Moonshot launched Kimi Hosted Agents, a managed cloud harness so teams can run long-horizon and multi-agent workloads without building their own runtime.

Source

  3. webAI — webAI app public launch for Mac

  5. Runway — Runway Dev plugins for coding agents

    Runway launched Runway Dev plugins for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. One install connects a coding agent to your Runway Dev account through the Runway Dev MCP and adds Runway's skills for building with its API, so the agent can read your projects, models, limits and credits, build features with the official SDKs, Model Router, Characters, Recipes or published Workflows, and look up why a task failed. You sign in with your Runway Dev account on first use, and no API key is stored in the plugin. Source

  6. Claude — Max plans renamed: Max 20x is now Ultra

    Anthropic renamed its top consumer plans: Max 5x is now Max ($100/month) and Max 20x is now Ultra ($200/month), with no price change and existing subscribers moved over automatically.

Both include Claude Code and monthly Claude API credits. Source

  9. ElevenLabs — SFX v3 sound effects model

    ElevenLabs released SFX v3, its newest text-to-sound-effects model. It follows prompts that describe several sounds in sequence more closely, handles music and vocals better and is less likely to clip on high-frequency sounds like chimes and whistles. It's in the Sound Effects tab, Flows, Studio and the Music Editor, the mobile app, and the API (model_id eleven_text_to_sound_v3); the v2 model is deprecated and will be removed on March 1, 2027.
