Amflow introduces electric mountain bike lineup

On April 9, Amflow, an electric bike brand spun off from DJI, introduced two product lines: PX and PR. These models are equipped with the Avinox M2S and M2 drive systems, supporting up to 1500W peak power and 150Nm torque, pushing beyond traditional trade-offs between weight, range, and power in e-assist systems. The carbon fiber frame supports up to 40 geometry adjustment combinations, offering enhanced adaptability and customization for riders.

Additional features include navigation display, Apple Find My integration on the PR series, and heart rate–based intelligent assistance adjustment. The bikes also support expandable battery options, with the standard 600Wh battery charging from 0% to 80% in 1.5 hours. In terms of pricing, the Amflow PX Carbon is now available in Europe and Australia starting at $7,999, while the PR Carbon is expected to launch later this year with a starting price of $4,999.

Google Gemini introduces “Notebook” feature

On April 9, Google announced a new “Notebook” feature for Gemini, designed to organize content around specific topics. Users can add files, past conversations, custom instructions, and more into a notebook, which Gemini will use as contextual reference during interactions.

This feature is similar to the “Projects” function introduced by ChatGPT in 2024, both enabling centralized storage of materials around a single topic. Google describes notebooks as a personal knowledge base shared across its ecosystem, currently available within Gemini. In addition, Gemini notebooks will sync with Google’s AI research tool NotebookLM, meaning content added in one application will appear in both.

The feature is currently available on the web for Gemini Ultra, Pro, and Plus subscribers, with mobile support expected in the coming weeks and a gradual rollout to free users planned. Source

MiniMax launches MMX-CLI command-line tool

MiniMax has introduced MMX-CLI, a command-line tool designed for AI agents. It supportsmultimodal capabilities, including text, image, video, voice, and music generation, and can be integrated into environments such as Claude Code and OpenClaw. By optimizing underlying interaction logic, the tool enables agents to autonomously complete end-to-end workflows—from information retrieval to multimedia generation.

MMX-CLI also includes features such as output isolation, pure data mode, JSON structured outputs, and a semantic status code system, improving the stability and controllability of automated tasks. Additionally, it supports non-blocking and asynchronous execution, making it suitable for parallel processing scenarios. The tool is integrated with the MiniMax Token Plan, allowing direct access to model quotas. Source

Coze releases version 2.5 update

On April 7, Coze announced its 2.5 update, introducing an AI agent collaboration platform called “Agent World,” along with new features such as independent email identities, cloud phones, and cloud PCs. It also upgrades capabilities for video creation agents and programming CLI tools.

According to the official introduction, Coze 2.5 focuses on three aspects: “persona,” “skills,” and “equipment.” In terms of persona, the new version introduces independent email identities and a memory system, enabling AI agents to communicate via email and build long-term memory of users’ work habits and preferences.

On the “equipment” side, the update adds a workspace capability for agents. After users describe tasks in conversation, the agent can automatically generate schedules. Users can view plans via a calendar, set timed tasks, and manage agent states. Data, charts, and business reports generated during execution are categorized and stored in a file system.

In addition, Coze has launched a programming CLI that covers project creation, online preview, and cloud deployment, while also providing real-time messaging and skill extension interfaces tailored for agent-based scenarios. Source

Tencent unveils QClaw v2 and QBotClaw

On April 9, Tencent introduced QBotClaw (“Lobster”), an intelligent assistant tool for the QQ Browser. Built directly into the browser, it supports contextual understanding of web content and enables automated operations through webpage element recognition. According to Tencent, users can issue natural language commands to perform tasks such as cross-software operations, information extraction, and file processing, making it suitable for scenarios like data organization, text generation, price comparison, and multi-page content analysis.

QBotClaw supports integration with third-party large model APIs and can be remotely controlled from mobile devices via the WeChat-based Clawbot service to execute tasks on a computer. The feature is currently available on the Mac version of QQ Browser, with a Windows version yet to be released. Source

Also released on the same day, QClaw v2 introduces a multi-agent mechanism, application connectors, and a “Lobster Manager” feature. Users can create multiple agents with different capabilities and permission settings, and connect them to third-party applications. Tencent states that the new version can reduce the number of operational steps in certain scenarios.

In terms of security, QClaw includes the “Lobster Manager” as a safety module to warn or block potential risks, including abnormal commands, misuse of permissions, and access to sensitive information. Source

News Worth a Quick Look

• YouTube has introduced an AI feature for Shorts that allows creators to generate digital avatars resembling their appearance and voice for video creation and content expansion. Users must record a “live selfie” including facial and voice data to build the model, with better lighting and quieter environments yielding higher-quality results. Once generated, creators can produce videos up to about 8 seconds long based on prompts or insert avatars into eligible Shorts content to streamline production and expand creative possibilities. Google states that the feature is limited to creators’ own content and can be deleted at any time; data will be automatically removed after three years of inactivity. All avatar-generated videos will be labeled as AI-generated and include digital watermarks such as SynthID and C2PA for identification. Source
• OpenAI has introduced a new ChatGPT Pro subscription tier priced at $100 per month, targeting high-intensity users. Compared to the $20 Plus plan, it offers approximately five times the usage quota for Codex programming tools, making it suitable for long-duration, high-load development tasks. Like the $200/month Pro tier, it provides access to Pro models and increased availability of both real-time and reasoning models compared to Plus. This new tier fills the gap between the Plus plan and the existing $200 high-end Pro offering, further refining the subscription lineup. OpenAI also noted adjustments to Codex usage for Plus subscribers: “More sessions per week will be supported, rather than longer sessions in a single day.” Source
