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

Top AI Coding Agents and Development Platforms in 2026: Atoms, Devin, Windsurf, Cursor, Warp, and More Compared

Software development has changed. Engineers no longer type most code by hand. They describe intent, and AI agents do the work. Modern tools plan tasks, edit across files, run tests, and open pull requests. Many now ship to production with limited supervision. No single tool fits every need. This guide covers the AI coding agents

A New Study from Harvard and Perplexity Finds AI Agents Perform 26 Minutes of Autonomous Work per Session vs 33 Seconds for Search

A new working research from Perplexity and Harvard offers field evidence on what AI agents do to knowledge work. It draws on production data from two Perplexity products: Search and Computer. The setup is a natural comparison. Search is a conversational answer engine. Computer is an agent that plans and executes tasks end to end.
