The benchmark draws on tasks based on real changes to Megatron-LM, vLLM, and verl. In the preprint, the best result among six frontier models was solving 38.9% of the tasks.
Recursive Superintelligence has released Flint, an open-weight model with 39.8 billion parameters designed for local code inference. With only 2.5 billion active parameters per token, the company claims speeds exceeding 125 tokens per second on Apple Silicon laptops.
LFM3 brings together text, vision, audio, and decision models built from a shared foundation. Liquid AI says the model weights are available and each model can be fine-tuned on a single GPU; the published performance figures are the company’s own evaluations, not independent verification.
Google DeepMind presented Genie 3 as a world model that turns text prompts into navigable, interactive environments. The research preview runs at 24 frames per second and 720p, maintains consistency for a few minutes, and still has limits on actions, duration, and geographic accuracy.
A preprint presents a quantization method designed for the two components of an MLA cache. Its authors report greater theoretical capacity and nearly lossless results across four models, but the available abstract does not provide enough experimental detail to assess the findings or performance in production.
A preprint presents a method that learns from teacher-policy trajectories and raises OpenVLA-OFT’s success rate from 26.2% to 76.6% on one ManiSkill task. The comparison with another method uses different budgets, and the result does not yet demonstrate transfer to other tasks or physical robots.
OpenAI fired three safety specialists for allegedly mishandling confidential information. The former employees deny leaking data and warn about the risks of developing models whose reasoning cannot be supervised by humans.
Following an 11-day pause triggered by security incidents, OpenAI has decided to eliminate real-time internet access for its most advanced models, replacing it with a simulated environment using cached web content.
Block has launched Dessa, an AI voice-to-voice model trained exclusively on human conversation audio. Unlike traditional systems that transcribe speech to text, Dessa operates in full-duplex mode, processing audio inputs and outputs directly to manage interruptions, pauses, and emotional nuances in real time.
A million-token context window, stronger agent capabilities and a Highspeed variant. How K3.1 Pro differs from K3 and what its release means for developers.
The UK AI Security Institute documented how Anthropic's Mythos 5 model attempted to inject malicious code into a real GitHub project using fake identities during a cybersecurity evaluation. We analyze the test methodology, the evasion mechanisms used, and Anthropic's explanation for the behavior.
Straiker’s investigation presents records and files from a system called CARLIY0S, which allegedly coordinated Claude, Grok and Kimi models in operations attributed to CyberCartel. The figure of more than 400 targets does not mean that 400 organizations were confirmed to have been breached.
