Hugging Face Introduces Open Computer Agent for AIPowered Automation

Hugging Face has launched Open Computer Agent, a free artificial intelligence programme that operates a virtual Linux computer autonomously to conduct data entry, navigation, and web searches. This agent utilises the visionlanguage model Qwen2VL72B, which identifies objects using coordinates, facilitating onscreen interaction. In a cloudhosted environment, users can command the AI with natural language, prompting it to carry out various tasks. While the agent performs well for basic activities, it struggles with more complex workflows, such as booking flights and completing CAPTCHA verifications. Hugging Face highlights the growing application of agentic AI in automation, positioning this as an opensource alternative to proprietary AI agents like OpenAIs Operator. Read More..

Bitcoin addresses, affiliate information, and negotiation records were made public due to a significant breach involving the LockBit ransomware gang.

Bitcoin addresses, affiliate information, and negotiation records were made public due to a significant breach involving the LockBit ransomware gang. Hackers left a message stating, "Dont do crime," after defacing LockBits dark web panels. "CRIME IS A WARNING," alongside Pragues "xoxo," was coupled with a link to a MySQL database dump.

The announcement of a significant trade agreement with a "large and highly respected nation" is the focus of a news conference that former U.S. President Donald Trump has scheduled for Thursday at 10 a.m. EDT in the Oval Office. Following recent trade discussions, Trump has not disclosed the partner country, although speculation suggests it may be the UK. Amid extensive U.S. tariffs—including 25% tariffs on steel, aluminium, and automobiles, as well as 145% penalties on Chinese imports—the announcement was made. Trumps protectionist trade policies have been bolstered by his insinuations that this agreement will be the first of many. Read More..

Kenya’s 2025/26 Budget Avoids Tax Hikes After Protests Against Revenue Measures

Following last years tragic protests against revenuegenerating initiatives, Kenyas budget projections for 2025–2026 omit any new tax increases. Instead, the government, under the leadership of Finance Minister John Mbadi, has focused on enhancing tax administration and addressing loopholes to improve collection efficiency. With a 4.5% GDP deficit and a total expenditure of 4 trillion shillings, the budget aims to generate an additional 25–30 billion shillings. A controversial proposal, which critics argue infringes on privacy rights, grants the tax authority access to financial data to combat tax evasion. This initiative reflects Kenyas attempts to maintain budgetary stability while preventing public discontent over taxation. Read More..

Australia’s ANZ Group Reports Flat Earnings Amid Global Trade Disruptions

Market realignment and alterations in international commerce were identified by Australias ANZ Group as the primary reasons for its stagnant firsthalf

Market realignment and alterations in international commerce were identified by Australias ANZ Group as the primary reasons for its stagnant firsthalf earnings. Trade flows are disrupted, necessitating companies to adjust their strategies and reallocate funds, according to outgoing CEO Shayne Elliott. ANZs cash profit stood at A$3.57 billion, slightly exceeding expectations but affected by intense competition in home loans. The restructuring of home loans led to a 48% surge in gross impaired assets, while the banks net interest margin remained steady at 1.56%. With the A$4.5 billion acquisition of Suncorp Bank, ANZ also bolstered its institutional lending. Rather than declining, Elliott emphasised that global economic activity will reorganise, positioning ANZ for longterm resilience. Read More..
