Liquid AI Releases LFM2.5-DSpark Draft Models That Deliver Up to 3.18x Faster Decoding Without Changing Model Outputs

Liquid AI has released DSpark draft model checkpoints for three models in its LFM2.5 family: LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct, LFM2.5-2.6B, and LFM2.5-8B-A1B. Each drafter adds a speculative decoding path to an existing target model. A roughly 300M-parameter draft proposes a block of nine candidate tokens, and the target model verifies the whole block in a single forward pass. […]

NVIDIA Releases TensorRT Model Connect in Public Preview: Hugging Face Checkpoint to Native C++ Inference in Two Commands

NVIDIA has released TensorRT Model Connect (TRTMC) in public preview, an open-source project that takes a supported Hugging Face or local checkpoint to end-to-end TensorRT inference in two commands. There is no intermediate ONNX export step. The build produces a versioned .bundle artifact that runs through native C++ task APIs, so inference can execute in

DeepSeek AI Releases DeepSeek Harness in Developer Preview: An MIT-Licensed Agent Harness Where Everything is a Plugin

DeepSeek released DeepSeek Harness v0.1 in developer preview and published the full source code under the MIT license. The project ships as dsh at deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness. A harness is the layer between a model and the environment it acts in — the tools, files, sandboxes, and control loop that let an agent keep working. DeepSeek frames

Z.ai Ships GLM-5.3 Without Retraining the Base Model: Better at Complex Coding and Long-Horizon Tasks

Z.ai just released GLM-5.3. GLM-5.3 runs on the same 743B base model as GLM-5.2. Every reported gain comes from scaled post-training: more task environments, more environment types, longer training. The results land in two places. Coding jumps most on the longest-horizon benchmarks, with Terminal-Bench 3.0 moving from 4.6 to 28.3. Cybersecurity moved further than Z.ai

Meet Needle 2: An Open 45M-Parameter Tool-Calling Model That Ships as a 14MB Binary and Runs a Full Session in 28MB of RAM

Cactus Compute has released Needle 2, an open 45M-parameter model for tool calling, device use, and structured extraction. The entire model ships as a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in about 28MB of RAM. Weights are trained and deployed at CQ2-bit using Cactus Quants, and the model is sealed inside the company’s

Google AI Just Released Gemini 3.7 Flash: A Coding and Agent Model at $0.75/1M Input Tokens

Google has released Gemini 3.7 Flash, the newest model in its Flash tier, three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash. The model card describes it as a refinement of 3.6 Flash with algorithmic improvements to the core reasoning foundation — not a new pretraining run. It accepts text, images, audio, and video across a 1M-token context

NVIDIA AI Releases Nemotron 3.5 Lightning: A 30B Open MoE with 3B Active Parameters, and NeMo Switchyard Model Router

NVIDIA introduced open technologies for building always-on AI agents from systems of specialized models. Two artifacts shipped together. Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is a lightweight, customizable open model built for high-volume agentic tasks, and NeMo Switchyard is an open source routing library that directs each step of an agent workflow to the most capable and efficient

webAI Releases TwIL-LM: A 1.7B and 3B Formal-Logic Model Family for Autoformalization on Local Hardware

webAI has released TwIL-LM, a two-model family of formal-logic reasoners at 1.7B and 3B parameters. The 3B member, TwIL-LM3, is a merged fine-tune of SmolLM3-3B; the 1.7B member is a PEFT LoRA adapter for SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct. Both target autoformalization: translating English into first-order logic and checking whether a conclusion follows from its premises. Both run locally,

Mistral AI Releases Shieldstral 1.0 3B: An Open-Weights Policy-Adaptive Multimodal Safety Classifier Matching Models 7× Its Size

Mistral AI has released Shieldstral 1.0 3B, an open-weights, policy-adaptive multimodal safety classifier that treats content moderation as a single yes/no question rather than a fixed taxonomy of harm categories. Most guardrail models bake their category list into the weights, so re-targeting one to a new deployment context means retraining — and the same content

Tencent Cloud Open-Sources TencentDB Agent Memory v2.0: A Team-Level Memory Hub for AI Coding Agents

Tencent Cloud has open-sourced TencentDB Agent Memory v2.0, a team-level memory hub for AI agents. The idea is super simple: if project context was already explained once, a new session should not need it repeated. The system turns conversations, documents and code into four reusable memory assets — Chat Memory, Skill, LLM-Wiki and Code-Graph —
