Datalab’s Marker 2 vs MinerU, Docling and LiteParse: 76.0 on olmOCR-bench at 5× MinerU’s Throughput

Datalab has released Marker 2, a full rewrite of its open source document conversion pipeline. Marker converts PDF, image, PPTX, DOCX, XLSX, HTML, and EPUB files into markdown, JSON, HTML, or chunks. The Datalab team rebuilt it around three components shipped over the preceding months: Surya OCR 2, a 20M-param fast layout model, and a […]

Meet the New Claude Opus 5: Frontier-Class Agentic Coding and Computer Use at Unchanged Opus Pricing

Today, Anthropic released Claude Opus 5. It replaces Claude Opus 4.8 as the Opus-tier flagship. Pricing is unchanged at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens. The Anthropic team positions Opus 5 as approaching the intelligence of Claude Fable 5 at half the price. It is now the default model on

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

Anthropic Releases Claude Security Plugin for Claude Code in Beta: A Multi-Agent Vulnerability Scanner That Runs in Your Terminal

Anthropic has released the Claude Security plugin for Claude Code in beta. The plugin runs a multi-agent vulnerability scan of a repository from inside an existing Claude Code session, then turns the findings you select into patch files that you review and apply yourself. Anthropic emphasized the tool’s versatility upon announcement, highlighting its capability to

Cursor Releases Cursor Router: A Request-Level Classifier Delivering Frontier Coding Quality at 30–50% Lower Cost

Cursor has made Cursor Router generally available for Teams and Enterprise plans. The system is a classifier that inspects each request before a model runs, then dispatches it to the model best suited to that specific task. The cursor team reports frontier-quality performance at 60% savings in online A/B tests, and 30–50% savings for early-access

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.

Google Releases Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber: A Cheaper, More Token-Efficient Flash Tier Built for Agentic Workloads

Developers building production agents need higher token efficiency, lower latency, and more reliable performance. Today, Google has released three new Gemini models. The lineup is Gemini 3.6 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, and Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber. All three sit in the Flash tier, which Google tunes for speed, cost, and high-volume agentic work rather than
