Good morning, AI enthusiasts. Google just unveiled Agentic Checkout, an AI system that autonomously purchases products when prices hit your target—essentially creating the first mainstream AI shopping agent.
As AI transitions from recommending products to actually making purchases, could we be looking at the end of traditional e-commerce as we know it?
In Today’s AI Daily:
Google's AI agents now complete purchases automatically
Claude 4 dominates coding benchmarks with 72.5% success rate
Datadog releases massive time-series prediction breakthrough
Document AI gets 40-language processing upgrade
5 new AI tools & prompts

The AI Daily: Anthropic just released Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4. Opus 4 is now ranked as the best AI model for coding, and both models bring smarter, more flexible reasoning skills.
Key notes:
Claude Opus 4 scored 72.5% on SWE-bench, beating all other models in real-world coding tasks.
Both models can switch between fast replies and deeper thinking for complex problems.
Claude Code is now available for everyone, with support in tools like VS Code and JetBrains.
The models can stay focused and work on long, multi-step coding tasks for hours.
Sonnet 4 is a big upgrade from version 3.7, but still efficient for daily use.
Why it matters: Claude 4 shows a big step forward in AI coding skills. Opus 4 can handle long projects without losing focus, making it great for serious developers. With Claude Code now in popular code editors, Anthropic is becoming a strong rival to OpenAI, bringing powerful tools right into developers’ daily workflows.

The AI Daily: Google just announced big changes to online ads that let AI buy products for customers and show ads during AI chats, changing how people shop online.
Key notes:
Ads now show up inside Google AI Overviews on phones and computers across the US.
A new tool called “Agentic Checkout” lets AI buy things when prices drop.
“Power Pack” bundles three tools—Performance Max, AI Max, and Demand Gen—for better ad targeting.
Performance Max now shows where ad money is spent across all Google platforms.
AI Max for Search boosts sales by 27% by using natural language to target shoppers.
Why it matters: This is the biggest change to online ads since search ads began. Brands with strong product info and clear messaging will win as AI makes the gap between great and average brands even bigger.
AI BREAKTHROUGHS
AI RESEARCH
The AI Daily: Datadog AI Research just introduced TOTO, a powerful new tool for predicting time-based data, along with BOOM, the largest-ever benchmark for tracking real-world system metrics.
Key notes:
TOTO is a large AI model (151 million parameters) trained on 2.36 trillion data points from real systems, public sources, and made-up examples.
It beats other tools by 12% on key accuracy tests and ranks #1 on the GIFT-Eval and LSF leaderboards.
BOOM includes 350 million data points from 2,807 real-world time series—making it twice as big as any other benchmark.
Both TOTO and BOOM are free to use under the Apache 2.0 license for businesses and researchers.
The model uses new techniques like patch-based scaling and Student-T prediction heads to improve accuracy.
Why it matters: Predicting time-based data is key for tools that watch over systems in real time. TOTO’s focus on observability data could help companies better predict system issues, spot problems early, and avoid outages on a large scale.
