alphaXiv puts an army of agents to work reproducing arXiv papers, with Tinker paying the compute bill

The new autoresearch feature hands a paper to Claude and Codex agents and lets them run fresh experiments on it. Training runs go through Thinking Machines' Tinker API.

Goodfire

Goodfire: a handful of forking words decide where a reasoning chain lands

The company resamples every step of a model's chain of thought to find the tokens that actually change the outcome. It has also made its research agent Silico generally available.

Hark

Hark signs a multi-year deal with NVIDIA for gigawatt-scale compute on Vera Rubin

The new company from Archer and Figure founder Brett Adcock is building a multimodal assistant that remembers its user. The agreement covers both model training and the inference behind its launch.

Argmax

Argmax gets Qwen3-ASR running inside the iPhone, with speech transcribed on the device

Pro SDK 3 has reached a stable release. The multilingual recognition model runs on the phone rather than a server, and the company has opened a TestFlight app for trying it without writing code.

Google

Google Research publishes GlucoFM, a foundation model for continuous glucose data

Trained on 109,000 hours of unlabelled CGM data, the model splits the glucose curve into a slow baseline and short-term deviations. It is a research contribution, not offered as a product or clinical tool.

anthropic

Fable 5.1 claims circulate, with no confirmation from Anthropic

Accounts following the AI industry claim the model is being tested with a limited group of users and that a launch is close. There is no company announcement, model card or pricing page.

Cloudflare

Cloudflare frees 100 terabytes of memory in 1.1.1.1's DNS cache

Five Rust optimizations cut per-entry memory from 953 bytes to 420. The company reports insert throughput up 43% and lookup latency down 19%.

Cohere

Cohere announces Parse 5, a model that turns documents into Markdown

The 2.3-billion-parameter vision language model converts PDF, presentation and image pages into structured text. The company's price is $1.50 per 1,000 pages.

Westlake University

Code World Model: code holds the world state, the video model draws it

Researchers from Westlake and NTU hand world evolution to a coding agent and visual rendering to a video model. Code and weights are released openly.

Tencent

Tencent quietly releases EVIE, a model that searches documents visually

The 8.5 GB open-source model searches the page itself rather than converting PDFs, tables and scanned files to text. It outranks models twice its size on ViDoRe and runs locally.

TIME

TIME publishes its 2026 TIME100 AI list

The magazine's fourth annual list of the most influential people in AI includes Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Elon Musk, Mira Murati, Ilya Sutskever and Fei-Fei Li.

fal

fal's H3 Max tops the image-to-video leaderboard

Post-trained on the open-weights MiniMax H3, the model ranks first on Artificial Analysis's image-to-video board. It generates a 5-second 720p clip in under 3 seconds and is 50% off for a week.
