Hermes Agent Adds Asynchronous Subagents, So Delegated Work No Longer Blocks the Parent Chat

Nous Research has shipped a change to Hermes Agent. Its delegate tool can now run subagents asynchronously. Per the announcement, delegated work no longer blocks the parent chat. Hermes Agent is an open-source personal agent from Nous Research. A parent agent can spawn child agents, called subagents, to fan out work. Until now, that delegation […]

Google Cloud Introduces Open Knowledge Format (OKF): A Vendor-Neutral Markdown Spec for Giving AI Agents Curated Context

Foundation models keep getting stronger, yet they still stall on the same thing: context. A model can write code or analyze a dataset, but only with the right internal knowledge. That knowledge includes table schemas, metric definitions, runbooks, join paths and it lives scattered across catalogs, wikis, and a few senior engineers’ heads. Google Cloud

Z.ai Launches GLM-5.2 With a Usable 1M-Token Context, Two Thinking-Effort Levels, and No Benchmarks at Launch

GLM-5.2 is the latest large language model from Z.ai, becoming the third major release in the GLM-5 line. It follows GLM-5 (February 11), GLM-5-Turbo (March 15), and GLM-5.1 (April 7). That makes four flagship-tier coding releases in roughly four months. Usable 1M-Token Context Window GLM-5.2’s standout spec is a 1,000,000-token context window. Z.ai labels the

Claude Code Guide 2026: 25 Features with Examples + Demo

Claude Code started as a terminal coding assistant. It now runs as a layered agentic system. Underneath, Claude Code separates memory, hooks, skills, subagents, plugins, and MCP into distinct layers. Each layer changes what the model can see or do. This article covers 25 features and strategies for scaling Claude Code. It is written for

Databricks Open-Sources Omnigent: A Meta-Harness That Composes, Governs, and Shares AI Agents Across Claude Code, Codex, and Pi

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

Moonshot AI Releases Kimi K2.7-Code: a Coding Model Reporting +21.8% on Kimi Code Bench v2 Over K2.6

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.

Zyphra Release Zamba2-VL: Hybrid Mamba2–Transformer Vision-Language Models That Cut Time-to-First-Token by About an Order of Magnitude

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
