Sakana AI Launches Fugu Max and Fugu Ultra v2 for Cheaper, Stronger Multi-Agent Orchestration

Sakana AI has released Fugu Max and Fugu Ultra v2, 2 new models in its Sakana Fugu family. Fugu is not a single foundation model. It is a learned orchestrator that routes work across a pool of other models behind 1 API. The new release tunes that architecture for 2 missions. Fugu Max targets the […]

Meet Redis LangCache: A Managed Semantic Cache That Cuts LLM API Costs by Up to 90% and Returns Cache Hits Up to 15x Faster

Production LLM applications rarely receive a question nobody has asked before. Support assistants and RAG pipelines field the same intents thousands of times a day, each phrased differently, and most stacks treat every phrasing as a fresh, fully billed request. Redis LangCache is a fully managed semantic caching service that sits between the application and

OpenAI Launches the Agents API in Public Beta, Putting the Codex Harness Behind One API Call

OpenAI has released the Agents API in public beta. It gives developers the same harness and infrastructure that run Codex. OpenAI hosts and maintains the harness. Developers run the agent’s compute in an OpenAI-managed sandbox, their own infrastructure, or a partner sandbox. Is it deployable? Yes. It is live for all developers in public beta.

Google Open-Sources Mantis: A Modular Skills Toolkit That Lets Coding Agents Find, Reproduce and Patch Vulnerabilities

Google has open-sourced Mantis, a stack-agnostic toolkit of security review skills that lets an AI coding agent run the whole vulnerability lifecycle. It finds a suspected flaw, strips the false positives, reproduces the bug inside a sandbox, writes a minimal patch, re-attacks that patch, and scores the residual risk. Mantis is not a scanner you

H Company Releases NeoMME: A Family of 260M and 800M Single-Tower Multimodal Encoders That Drop the Vision Tower and Causal Decoder

Most visual document retrievers in production today are hand-me-downs. ColPali and the models that followed it take a generative vision-language model and repurpose it as an encoder. The result still carries a separately pretrained vision tower and a causal decoder that never generates a token. That is parameter and compute overhead for a task that

GitHub Introduces Project HydraFusion: Runtime Multi-Model Orchestration That Builds a Workflow Per Coding Task in Copilot CLI

GitHub has released Project HydraFusion, a research preview that stops treating model choice as a one-time setting. Instead of routing your prompt to a single model, HydraFusion builds an execution plan per request. It can draft with one model, have a second model critique the draft, or escalate to a stronger model when a quality

Nous Research Adds One-Click Local Model Setup to Hermes Desktop

The hard part of running an open-weights model locally was never the model. It was everything before it, reading VRAM specs, guessing which quantization fits, setting context length and GPU layer counts, then finding out at load time that the file is three gigabytes too large. Nous Research has collapsed that sequence into a single

OpenAI Releases GPT-6 Astra: A 1.05M-Context Computer-Use Model Gated Behind a ‘Critical’ Cyber Threshold

Today, OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra. The company calls it its most intelligent and aligned model, and positions it primarily as a computer-use system rather than a chat model. The pitch is that Astra operates software the way a person does, across browsers, spreadsheets, desktop applications and terminals, and finishes multi-step jobs instead of describing how

Meta AI Released Muse Spark 1.3: An Agentic Coding Model That Uses ~20% Fewer Tool Calls and ~25% Fewer Tokens Than Muse Spark 1.2

This week, Meta Superintelligence Labs released Muse Spark 1.3. It is the fourth Muse Spark release in five months, and the target is long-horizon agentic and coding work rather than single-turn generation. The framing in Meta’s post is usability: sustaining a long thread, collaborating with the user, and knowing when it is stuck. Is it

Perplexity Open Sources Lily: A Rust + Metal Inference Engine for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on Apple Silicon

Perplexity has open sourced Lily, the local inference engine behind Hybrid Compute in Perplexity Computer. It is a single-process runtime: a Rust layer loads the checkpoint and drives the generation loop, an OpenAI-compatible chat-completions API streams tokens, and hand-written Metal kernels execute the model. Neither PyTorch nor MLX sits in the execution path. Lily is
