Databricks released Omnigent, an open source ‘meta-harness’ for AI agents. The project ships under the Apache 2.0 license. The Databricks AI team built it with Neon. A harness is the wrapper around a model that turns it into an agent. Claude Code, Codex, and Pi are harnesses. Omnigent sits one level above them. It treats […]
This week, Moonshot AI released Kimi K2.7-Code. It is a coding-focused, agentic model. The model weights ship on Hugging Face under a Modified MIT license. You can also reach it through the Kimi API and Kimi Code. K2.7-Code targets long-horizon software engineering, not general chat. It plans, edits, runs tools, and debugs across many steps.
Moonshot AI has introduced Kimi Work, an AI agent that runs on your own desktop. The Beijing-based AI entity announced it this week along with downloads for macOS and Windows. Kimi Work reads local files, drives your real browser, and runs scheduled tasks. It targets knowledge workers whose bottleneck is access to files and live
Zyphra has released Zamba2-VL, a family of open vision-language models. The release covers three sizes: 1.2B, 2.7B, and 7B parameters. Each model is built on the Zamba2 hybrid SSM–Transformer backbone. Vision-language models (VLMs) read images and text together. They answer questions about charts, documents, and photos. Most open VLMs use a dense Transformer as the
Google AI team including the Google DeepMind researchers have just released DiffusionGemma, an experimental open model for text generation. It uses text diffusion instead of standard autoregressive decoding. The model ships under a permissive Apache 2.0 license. Google positions it for devs and researchers exploring speed-critical, interactive local workflows. Examples include in-line editing, rapid iteration,
Software development has changed. Engineers no longer type most code by hand. They describe intent, and AI agents do the work. Modern tools plan tasks, edit across files, run tests, and open pull requests. Many now ship to production with limited supervision. No single tool fits every need. This guide covers the AI coding agents
Anthropic released two models on June 9, 2026: Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5. Both belong to a tier called “Mythos-class.” This tier sits above the Opus class in capability. Fable 5 is the version claimed to be made safe for general use. Mythos 5 is the same model with some safeguards lifted, kept
A new working research from Perplexity and Harvard offers field evidence on what AI agents do to knowledge work. It draws on production data from two Perplexity products: Search and Computer. The setup is a natural comparison. Search is a conversational answer engine. Computer is an agent that plans and executes tasks end to end.
Inference speed is becoming a competitive metric for large language models. Xiaomi’s MiMo team just released MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed, built in collaboration with the TileRT systems group. It decodes faster than 1000 tokens per second on a 1-trillion-parameter model. Xiaomi team describes this as a first at trillion-parameter scale. Demos show generation peaks near 1200 tokens per
Most search agents are trained as policies over a growing transcript. The model decides how to search. It must also remember what it saw, which evidence matters, and which claims it checked. A team of researchers from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, UC Berkeley, and Chroma argues this asks too much. Reinforcement learning ends up optimizing
