# This Week in All Things AI - Week 21-2026 *Sunday 17th May 2026 to Saturday 23rd May 2026* By [This Week in All Things AI](https://paragraph.com/@twiata) · 2026-05-24 --- This Week in All Things AI covers key developments in models, agents, tools, infrastructure, and policy curated from discussions in the [All Things AI Telegram group.](https://t.me/+PnCnwhgH8V4yMTFl) If you follow AI for work, research, investing, or just to understand where the technology is heading, this [weekly brief](https://paragraph.com/@twiata) is a concise way to scan the most important launches, risks, and resources in a few focused minutes. Across the week, we saw advances in agentic coding and web tooling (Cursor’s Composer 2.5, Google’s Gemini 3.5 Flash, Modern Web Guidance), major moves in AI infrastructure and pricing (Anthropic’s expanded Colossus 2 deal with SpaceX, DeepSeek’s permanent discount on V4‑Pro), a wave of creative tools (Krea 2 and several AI‑assisted video editors), and notable policy and geo developments from Pope Leo XIV’s forthcoming AI encyclical to Singapore’s latest AI initiatives. The sections that follow walk through these items day by day, with short context and links so you can dive deeper into the pieces most relevant to your work or interests. * * * Sunday 17th May 2026 -------------------- Monday 18th May 2026 -------------------- Tuesday 19th May 2026 --------------------- Cursor’s biggest model upgrade yet. Strong gains in long-running agentic coding tasks, reliability with complex instructions, and up to **10x better cost efficiency**. It’s built on Moonshot’s Kimi K2.5 and reportedly performs on par with top frontier models in some real-world evaluations. Cursor is also training a much larger model from scratch with SpaceXAI on a massive Colossus 2 cluster.

So much of the world has not yet used agents. There's a lot of opportunity to level the playing field and expand access.

The dark, jagged rocks are visible in the foreground, lapped by gentle, turquoise waters. A luxurious yacht can be seen through the opening in the rock face, lying calmly on the clear blue water. Behind it stretches a hilly landscape that glows in soft colors under bright daylight. The contrasting composition between the rough, dark rocks and the elegant, modern yacht creates a harmonious balance of natural beauty and luxurious lifestyle.
