PayPal just announced that users of PayPal and Venmo in the U.S. and some global areas can skip the waitlist. They can now get early access to Comet, the AI-powered web browser from Perplexity. They'll also get a free 12-month subscription to Perplexity Pro, worth $200 a year.

What It Can Do: Comet adds an AI assistant right into your browsing. It offers features like AI-generated summaries, product comparisons, quick answers, and more. This makes your web interactions smoother and helps you complete tasks efficiently.

Where to Access It:

• In the U.S.: PayPal users can sign up via the PayPal app, and Venmo users through the Venmo app.

• Eligible users in some global markets can activate the offer at PayPal checkout. They can also do this through marketing channels, like email or a landing page.

BlackRock Loses $17 Billion Mandate at Dutch Pension Fund

BlackRock has lost a €14.5 billion (around $17 billion) mandate from the Dutch pension fund PFZW. This fund manages about €250 billion in assets for healthcare workers. The loss comes after a strategic review. This review focuses on sustainability, financial performance, and risk.

Key Points:

• PFZW ended its contract with BlackRock. They had concerns about how BlackRock managed climate risk and client interests.

• What It Can Do: PFZW is reallocating these funds to a mix of managers—Robeco, Man Numeric, Acadian, Lazard, Schroders, M&G, UBS, and PGGM. This change will help align with its new strategy.

• New Strategy: The pension fund’s new investment approach treats financial performance, risk, and sustainability equally. It shifts away from passive management styles.

• Why It Matters: European funds are increasingly focused on green investments. In contrast, many U.S. financial firms have reduced their ESG commitments.

Warp brings new diff-tracking tools to the AI coding arms race

Warp has launched Warp Code. This new set of features makes using AI coding agents feel more like pair programming. It shows what the AI is doing in real-time, step by step, and lets users fully control its actions.

What It Can Do: The interface includes:

• A prompt area for directing the AI agent

• A side panel where you can see each code change (a diff) as it happens

• Tools to comment on or adjust those diffs on the fly

You can manually edit code, highlight certain lines for clarity, or guide the agent during the process.

How It Helps: Founder Zach Lloyd says these features create a “much tighter feedback loop.” Instead of hoping the AI delivers something merge-ready, users can observe every change and tweak it in real time.

Warp is becoming a terminal-style Agentic Development Environment (ADE). Here, developers can prompt and oversee AI agents, check the code they generate, and ship it all from one app. Warp Code deepens that functionality by adding granular diff tracking and interaction.

Why It Matters: The AI coding space is crowded with tools like Cursor, Loveable, Anthropic’s Claude Code, and OpenAI’s Codex. Warp Code helps Warp stand out by providing transparency and control. This is crucial for safe and reliable collaboration with AI.
