FOMAT stands for Fear of Missing Agent Time: the worry that AI agents could be doing useful work while their user is sleeping, resting or occupied elsewhere. The term applies especially to coding agents that can continue a task without constant prompting. Michael Richman used it in an April 2026 conference talk. It is informal developer slang, rather than a medical diagnosis or productivity metric. A session can be working, waiting for a decision or deliberately stopped; keeping it active does not establish that its output is valuable. The concept highlights the human attention needed to supervise agentic AI.
OpenAI added Record and Replay to its Codex Mac app, letting users demonstrate a task once and turn it into a reusable AI skill.
Salesforce agreed to buy Fin, the customer-service AI company formerly known as Intercom, for about $3.6 billion to strengthen its Agentforce platform.
Z.ai released GLM-5.2, a flagship coding model with a usable 1-million-token context, shipping it to paying subscribers first while withholding benchmarks, an API and open weights.
Xiaomi MiMo Code is a free, MIT-licensed coding agent with persistent memory and parallel reasoning, forked from OpenCode and aimed at hundred-step tasks.
JPMorgan Chase plans to roll out AI agents capable of operating autonomously for one to two hours later this year, as the bank’s chief analytics officer says the technology has moved from single-task tools to multi-step workflow managers.
Meta has eased plans to track employee computer activity for AI training after internal criticism, introducing new controls that allow workers to pause data collection or request exemptions.
OpenAI has introduced role-specific plugins, collaborative websites, and annotation tools for Codex as the platform expands beyond software development. More than 5 million people now use Codex weekly, with non-developers becoming one of its fastest-growing user groups.
Anthropic says cybercriminals are increasingly using AI for advanced post-compromise operations and autonomous attack chains. The company argues that existing cybersecurity frameworks may no longer fully capture how AI-powered threats operate.
Intel has disclosed new details about Crescent Island, its next-generation AI accelerator designed for data centers and agentic AI workloads. The chip is expected to launch later this year as Intel seeks to compete more aggressively with Nvidia in the rapidly growing AI infrastructure market.
Nvidia has launched Vera, its first CPU designed specifically for AI agents and large-scale AI infrastructure. The processor promises up to 1.8 times faster performance than traditional x86 CPUs and will be adopted by major AI labs, cloud providers, and server manufacturers.
