Andrew Ng Just Released OpenWorker: An Open-Source, Local-First Desktop AI Coworker That Returns Finished Deliverables Instead of Chat

Andrew Ng has announced OpenWorker, an open-source desktop agent that produces finished work rather than conversation. OpenWorker asks the user for an outcome, not a prompt: a polished document, a Slack reply containing the actual numbers, an updated calendar, a triaged inbox. It then breaks that outcome into steps, works across local files and connected […]

Nvidia bets physical AI can solve healthcare robotics’ data problem

Nvidia’s new Medical Physics Simulation framework treats healthcare robots as physical AI systems that need embodied experience to learn, not just code. Physical AI is the term Nvidia and much of the robotics industry now use to describe machines that have to learn how the world behaves through contact, force, and consequence, rather than through

Meet Gigatoken: A Rust BPE Tokenizer that Encodes Text at 24.53 GB/s, up to 989x Faster than HuggingFace Tokenizers

Tokenization is the one part of the language modeling stack that almost nobody profiles. Gigatoken, released by Marcel Rød (a PhD student from Stanford)  under an MIT license, argues that this was a mistake. The library encodes text at gigabytes per second on a single machine, against baselines that are already multithreaded Rust. The GPT-2

Cisco Foundation AI Releases Antares: 350M and 1B Open-Weight Models That Localize Known Vulnerabilities Inside Real Codebases

Cisco Foundation AI has released Antares, a family of security small language models (SLMs) built for one narrow security task. The task is vulnerability localization. Given a vulnerability description and a repository, find the files containing the flaw. Two models are open-weight and available now on Hugging Face, Antares-350M and Antares-1B. Both are Apache 2.0.

Poolside Releases Laguna S 2.1, an Open-Weight Agentic Coding Model Punching Above Its Weight Class on SWE-Bench Multilingual

Poolside has released Laguna S 2.1, a 118B-parameter open-weight model built for agentic coding. It is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 8B activated parameters per token. It supports a context window of up to 1M tokens in both thinking and no-thinking modes. The weights are on Hugging Face under an OpenMDW-1.1 license, and the model

Meta Open-Sources Astryx: An Agent-Ready React Design System With 150+ Accessible Components, Seven Themes, and a CLI

Meta has released Astryx, an open source design system that is fully customizable and built to be operated by both people and the AI agents working alongside them. It is available now in Beta. Astryx is not a new experiment. It grew inside Meta over the last eight years, where the company says it became

NVIDIA Released DeepStream 9.1: Bringing Agentic AI to Vision AI With 13 Skills and Multi-View 3D Tracking

NVIDIA just released DeepStream 9.1. The update targets a persistent problem in video analytics. Tracking one object across many cameras traditionally requires manual camera calibration and complicated calculations. DeepStream 9.1 addresses this with two additions: Multi-View 3D Tracking (MV3DT) and AutoMagicCalib (AMC). Both ship as agentic skills for coding agents. As a result, developers move

Google Cloud’s Always-On Memory Agent Replaces RAG and Embeddings With Continuous LLM Consolidation on Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite

Most AI agents forget. They process a request, answer it, then drop the context. Google Cloud’s generative-ai repository now ships a sample that tackles this directly. It is the Always-On Memory Agent, a reference implementation that treats memory as a running process. Always-On Memory Agent Fundamentally, the project is a lightweight background agent that never

Zyphra Releases ZUNA1.1: An Apache 2.0 EEG Foundation Model With Variable-Length Inputs From 0.5 To 30 Seconds

This week, Zyphra released ZUNA1.1 under the Apache 2.0 license. The EEG foundation model reconstructs, denoises, and upsamples data across arbitrary channel layouts. It builds on ZUNA1, the Zyphra’s earlier open EEG foundation model. The main change is flexibility, not a jump in raw accuracy. Real EEG recordings are messy. Sessions vary in length, and
