Gemini Agents Upgrade, Meta Muse Image, Alberta's Claude Code Audit

In this episode, we discuss Google DeepMind's major upgrade to Managed Agents in the Gemini API, adding long-running background execution and remote MCP server support for production-ready agents. We also cover Meta Superintelligence Labs' first image model, Muse Image, rolling out across Instagram, WhatsApp, and Meta's Advantage Plus ad tools, plus Anthropic's Claude Code helping Alberta's government scan 466 million lines of code in just 20 hours. Finally, we break down the Future of Life Institute's new AI Safety Index, which claims Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Meta have quietly walked back earlier safety commitments. Tune in for a clear-eyed look at agent infrastructure, generative imagery at scale, government AI deployments, and the shifting frontier lab safety landscape.https://www.aiconvocast.comHelp support the podcast by using our affiliate links:Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkvDisclaimer:This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google, DeepMind, Meta, Anthropic, OpenAI, the Future of Life Institute, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly stated.
