  "summary": "Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek has unveiled plans for a new AI \"super agent\" designed to handle multiple tasks with minimal human intervention, as it competes with US rivals OpenAI and Anthropic in developing coding assistants. The proposed system aims to reduce the need for human coordination and monitoring of AI agents, addressing a key bottleneck in managing complex workflows. DeepSeek's super agent would automatically distribute tasks among multiple agents and coordinate their work, allowing humans to focus on decision-making and reviewing results. The initiative comes as competition intensifies among AI developers to build more autonomous coding assistants, with Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex increasingly capable of handling complex software development tasks.",
