I review the main cosmology results from the 2013 Planck release. I will also discuss some developments since the original submission of the papers, and put the Planck results in the context of more recent results from the CMB and other cosmological and astrophysical datasets.

I will discuss the status of primordial non-Gaussianity after the release of Planck 2013 data. Specific models for the primordial bispectrum are now tightly constrained, while higher-order correlators remain only weakly bounded. Non-linear evolution does generate non-Gaussianity and the challenge remains to separate out the intrinsic non-Gaussianity imprinted in the cosmic microwave background...
