Article 50 of the EU AI Act becomes enforceable August 2, 2026. Chatbot disclosure, deepfake labeling, watermarking requirements. Here's what it means, and why FRED was already compliant.
Most people use AI the slowest way possible: type, wait, fix, repeat — by hand, every time. Here's why that's a treadmill, and what to do instead.
A landmark study pitted AI against 100,000 humans on creativity tests. GPT-4 beat 72% of participants. But the top half of humans beat every AI model. What that split means for how we work.
Most executives formed their entire opinion of AI based on a tool that barely worked two years ago. That tool has nothing to do with what AI can do today. The capability gap is closed. The knowledge gap is not.
The Department of Commerce just lifted export controls on Anthropic's most powerful models. For agent operators, the 'brain drain' is officially over.
Claude Sonnet 5 launched today with near-Opus performance at a fraction of the cost. For anyone running AI agents, the economics just got a lot more interesting.
OpenClaw launched native iOS and Android apps. Your AI agent now lives in your pocket — approvals, voice, camera, the whole stack. Here's what that actually changes.
Perplexity launched Computer for Counsel — a 20-model agentic platform for law firms. It's the same architecture that powers FRED for accounting. Legal is next. Every knowledge-heavy profession follows.
Simon Willison's lethal trifecta — private data, untrusted content, and external communication — is the single best framework for understanding why AI agents get compromised. Here's what it means and what to do about it.

The Commerce Department ordered Anthropic to shut down Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for every foreign national on the planet — and Anthropic is fighting back in court. Updated with the Sacks standoff, Hegseth's hostility, Karpathy locked out, and Nadella's warning.
Anthropic filed a confidential S-1 on June 1. OpenAI filed on June 8. Two frontier AI labs racing to public markets simultaneously — and an accountant with a front-row seat to the numbers.
Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 is state-of-the-art on nearly every benchmark. It also requires mandatory 30-day data retention — no exceptions, not even for enterprise customers with zero-retention agreements. Microsoft already blocked it for employees. Here's what this means for your business.

Greg Abel's $10B Alphabet investment as Berkshire CEO is the clearest signal yet that institutional capital is done waiting on AI. What this means for you.
An accountant with zero coding experience builds a fleet of AI subagents by typing English sentences. No scripts. No frameworks. No configuration files. Just ask your agent to make another agent — and it does.
An accountant and his AI agent automated a four-platform publishing pipeline in one weekend. LinkedIn, Substack, X — all running with 10 minutes of daily oversight. Here's the architecture.
xAI's Grok Build enters the coding agent race alongside Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot. Here's what it means and why infrastructure matters more than any single model.
The institutions are restructuring around AI. Policy is years behind. The professionals who build their own AI leverage now have an 18-month compounding window before this becomes table stakes.

Google's biggest Search upgrade in 25 years replaces the search box with an AI-powered interface running Gemini 3.5 Flash. One billion monthly AI Mode users. Agentic coding built into results. The era of ten blue links is ending — and something much more interesting is replacing it.
A finance job posting just listed vibe coding as a requirement. If you're in accounting or finance and you've never heard that term, here's what it means — and why it signals a fundamental shift in what professionals need to know.
Our founder just ordered the most powerful MacBook Apple makes — not for financial statements, but to expand his AI testing ground. Here's why personal experimentation is the fastest path to professional expertise.
When our founder asked his AI agent to evaluate two different hardware options, the agent enthusiastically endorsed both — contradicting itself. Then it called itself a sycophant. Here's why that moment matters more than any benchmark.
Five inflection points have reshaped accounting in the last 30 years. Hand. Excel. SaaS. APIs. AI. The first four automated data. The fifth is the first one that touches judgment — and that's why it's a different category of tool than anything that came before it.
Most AI-written content is indistinguishable on LinkedIn because the operators skipped the voice-training step. Here's the 5-step playbook for teaching an AI agent to write like the person it works for — and why your voice is the most underrated asset in your firm.
Most services firms are deploying AI defensively — to cut costs without losing quality. The firms that will win the next decade are doing the opposite. Here's what offense actually looks like, and the playbook for getting there.
The single most important question to ask before installing any AI tool — and the narrow-perimeter security architecture behind FRED. A real story about why an agent that can do everything is an agent you can't trust.
The cleanest mental model for working with an AI agent isn't about replacing humans. It's about a delegation philosophy borrowed from one of the smartest people we know.
The backstory behind agentfred.ai — why an accountant decided to build a website for his AI agent, what OpenClaw is, and why more people should know about it.
