Models & Research

AutoScaffold: Training AI with Adaptive Hints — AutoScaffold uses a teacher AI to examine a student model’s successes and failures during reinforcement learning, then create and revise strategies and hints as it improves. The guidance is removed during evaluation, testing whether the student can solve tasks independently. Across simulated household tasks, search-based question answering, mathematics, and GPU code generation, the approach outperformed its corresponding training baselines—including gains of 7.2 percentage points in household-task success and 4.0 points in question-answering accuracy. The results suggest that temporary, adaptive guidance can build stronger independent capabilities. arXiv ↗

My takeaway: AutoScaffold improves student model performance through temporary training guidance. A teacher model diagnoses failures and writes adaptive hints, which are removed at evaluation.

Tools & Open Source

Claude Expands Teamwork with Spreadsheets, Whiteboards, and Connected Apps — Anthropic is expanding Claude with collaborative spreadsheets, whiteboards, and data dashboards, alongside interactive connectors that let users work in external apps directly within Claude. Teams can carry context from brainstorming to analysis and build custom tools without writing code. Enterprise controls manage access, permissions, and spending. The update aims to help non-technical teams turn ideas into finished work with fewer handoffs and less switching between apps. Meeting assistance is planned next. Claude ↗

My takeaway: Claude Meetings looks promising, with an AI participant that can take notes and update shared documents during calls. Hopefully, this feature will be available soon.

Adobe Adds AI Agents and Connected Workflows to Creative Cloud — Adobe is expanding AI assistants across Creative Cloud to handle multistep editing tasks while keeping projects editable and creators in control. The update includes new image, video, and collaboration tools, plus Firefly spaces for design, reusable workflows, and prototyping. Many features are available now, while AI assistants and several Firefly tools remain in beta. Integrations that let third-party AI agents work directly in local Adobe project files are planned for private beta in early 2027. Adobe ↗

My takeaway: In my opinion, Adobe is a little late to the game with AI agents and MCP. Many free and open-source alternatives already support both. Adobe needs to move faster to integrate these technologies and build its own competitive moat.
