More →Google Wants Gemini to Be Your Next Coworker—Complete With Its Own Email Address
Google Cloud introduced a universal AI agent for the workplace on Thursday, one it says can take a goal, go off and do the work, and return with the finished result. CEO Thomas Kurian presented it at the company's <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/welcome-to-gemini-at-work-2026" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Gemini at Work</a> event, saying that "work now starts in the prompt window." The product, simply called the Gemini Agent, works inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Chat and Calendar, and also reaches into Microsoft 365 and Slack. Google says it keeps running in the cloud after you close your laptop, so a single task can stretch across hours or days. The most interesting feature is what Google calls coworker agents. A manager describes a role, such as events coordinator, and Gemini creates an agent with its own Workspace account: an email address, a calendar, Drive storage and a listing in the company directory. This is similar to what other agentic frameworks have explored. For example Grok popularized it with Grok Bot, OpenAI did the same with GPT dots, and Hermes introduced its bots feature offering the same functionality. The new agent connects to Salesforce, ServiceNow, Jira, Snowflake, BigQuery and any server that speaks Model Context Protocol, an open standard that works like a universal plug between AI and software. It also runs on more than Google's own models: Gemini currently orchestrates across Gemini and Claude models from Anthropic, routing each job to the one Google considers the best fit for quality and cost. Letting software act on its own raises obvious safety questions, and Google's answer is to treat each agent like an employee. Every agent gets a cryptographically attested identity, a digital ID verified through cryptography, and every action lands in an audit trail attributed to the agent rather than a person. All agents run inside an Agent Sandbox, a walled-off environment meant to keep software away from the rest of a system, and all their traffic passes through Agent Gateway, which Google describes as an "AI network firewall." Containment has failed before: in July, researchers at Accomplish AI reported that the local mode of <a href="https://decrypt.co/374557/chatgpt-claude-ai-models-escaping-sandboxes-cowork" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">Claude Cowork</a> could escape its Linux virtual machine on Macs and reach files on the host computer. Cost is the other worry, since agents burn through tokens, the chunks of text that AI models read and write and that customers are billed for. Google says nearly 500 of its customers each processed more than one trillion tokens over the past year, and it added real-time spend caps: when a project hits its limit, the agent pauses until someone clicks to resume. Google did not publish pricing or a general availability date for the Gemini agent. The financial services and lega
NEAR Protocol supports post-quantum signature algorithms without requiring asset migration.
According to news from Bijie, NEAR Protocol has announced that its accounts now support the post-quantum signature algorithm ml-dsa, with no need to migrate assets. The NEAR One team is developing nep-655, which generates implicit accounts through the hash of the account's initial state, avoiding the exposure of public keys or public key hashes on-chain. This feature has already launched on the testnet and is expected to be deployed to the mainnet in the coming weeks. In addition, the team is designing a scalable signature mechanism for the NEAR Intents wallet contract, supporting ml-dsa and hash-based signature schemes, and is developing a q-day recovery registration mechanism for blockchains that do not yet support post-quantum keys, allowing users to pre-commit recovery keys through rotatable hashes.

Apple cuts iPhone 18 Pro orders by 15% due to AI chip shortage.
According to news from Bijie, Apple is cutting component orders for the iPhone 18 Pro by 15% due to an AI-driven memory shortage. According to a Nikkei Asia report, Apple asked suppliers to reduce component production in October, with some orders cut by 15% to 20%. Affected by this, Apple's stock price fell about 1.9% in early trading on Friday. This situation highlights one consequence of the AI boom: the same data center spending that is driving semiconductor profits is making consumer electronics more expensive. The starting prices of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are $1,199 and $1,299, respectively, both $100 more expensive than the previous generation, partly due to rising memory and storage costs. TrendForce estimates that the component cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise by about 38%, with memory's share of device material costs increasing from 10% to 34%. These reports have raised questions about whether Apple's premium pricing strategy can withstand sustained component inflation.

ETH liquidation pressure: watch $2,365.57 to the downside and $2,770.21 to the upside.
CoinWorld data: ETH is currently priced at approximately $2,490.08. If the price falls by about 5% to around $2,365.57, some high-leverage long positions may face concentrated liquidations; if the price rises by about 11.25% to around $2,770.21, some high-leverage short positions may face concentrated liquidations. The liquidation zone below is currently closer to the current price, meaning that if the price moves downward, long liquidation pressure may appear earlier. Other notable zones: below at $2,197.49 and $2,166.37; above at $2,820.01 and $2,826.24. The above levels are estimated based on public market prices and changes in open interest, do not mean the price will necessarily reach them, and are not predictions of price movement.
