EU member states and European Parliament negotiators failed after roughly 12 hours of talks that began on 28 April and ran into the early hours of 29 April, leaving the Digital Omnibus on AI without agreement.

Because nothing is agreed until everything is agreed under trilogue rules, the package's headline win — pushing high-risk obligations from 2 August 2026 to 2 December 2027 and 2 August 2028 — could not be locked in. The unresolved file was not the delay itself but the conformity-assessment architecture for AI embedded in products already covered by sectoral safety law, such as medical devices, toys and machinery. Talks resume in May; with no deal before August, the Act applies as originally drafted.

Less than 24 hours after Microsoft's license to OpenAI's IP became non-exclusive, AWS announced three offerings in limited preview on Amazon Bedrock: OpenAI's latest models through the existing Bedrock APIs and controls, Codex running on Bedrock, and Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents powered by OpenAI.

Managed Agents runs the OpenAI agent harness as a managed AWS service, with per-agent identity, full action logging for auditability, persistent memory and skills, and all model inference on Bedrock. Bedrock AgentCore provides the default compute environment. Codex authenticates with AWS IAM and is billed through AWS.

Mistral released Medium 3.5, its first merged flagship — a dense 128B multimodal model with a 256K context window, configurable reasoning effort per request, and a vision encoder trained from scratch for variable image sizes, published as open weights under a Modified MIT license and self-hostable on as few as four GPUs.

Mistral reports 77.6% on SWE-Bench Verified and 91.4 on τ³-Telecom. It becomes the default model in Le Chat and replaces Devstral 2 in the Vibe coding agent, shipped alongside new cloud remote agents that run coding sessions asynchronously and in parallel, spawnable from the CLI or Le Chat.

A Mayo Clinic-led team published work in Gut on REDMOD, an AI that reads routine abdominal CT scans and picks up subtle tissue-texture signatures of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in a pancreas that still looks normal, with automated pancreatic segmentation.

Across scans from more than 1,400 people — including 219 whose earlier CTs had been read as normal but who later developed pancreatic cancer — it identified 73% of future cases a median of about 475 days before clinical diagnosis, and up to three years ahead in some patients, versus roughly 39% sensitivity for expert radiologists reviewing the same images. It is not yet approved for routine clinical use.

The amended agreement makes Microsoft's license to OpenAI's models and products non-exclusive, running through 2032, confirms Azure as OpenAI's primary cloud partner, and lets OpenAI serve all of its products across any cloud provider.

Microsoft will no longer pay a revenue share to OpenAI; OpenAI's payments to Microsoft continue through 2030 at the same percentage but subject to a total cap, and the agreement drops the clause that hinged on OpenAI declaring AGI. Microsoft remains a major shareholder.
