<p>GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna are becoming the center of the coding-agent conversation this week.</p> <p>The important question is not only whether Sol is better at hard coding tasks, or whether Luna is cheaper for repetitive work. The more useful question is what happens after the agent produces a working app.</p> <p>For many builders, the pattern is already familiar:</p> <ol> <li>A coding agent builds a convincing demo.</li> <li>The local app works.</li> <li>The first real user requirement a

Ant Group's Robbyant has released LingBot-VLA 2.0, an Apache-2.0 vision-language-action model for cross-embodiment robot manipulation. The 6B checkpoint is pretrained on roughly 60,000 hours of data, spanning 50,000 hours of robot trajectories across 20 robot configurations and 10,000 hours of egocentric human video. It maps every embodiment into a single 55-dimensional canonical action space, covering arms, dexterous hands, waists, heads, and mobile bases. A token-level, auxiliary-loss-free Mix

Three humanoid companies moved toward the public markets in a single week. Agility filed to go public via SPAC at $2.5 billion, Unitree cleared its Shanghai IPO, and Tesla started turning the line that built its last Model S into an Optimus factory. Mistral shipped a robot brain that finds its way with one cheap camera. And the research this week kept landing on the same catch: locomotion is getting solved, while the models still lose basic world knowledge the moment you train them to act. The m

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have recently shown strong performance in visual understanding, yet they often lack temporal awareness, particularly in egocentric settings where reasoning depends on the correct ordering and evolution of events. This deficiency stems in part from training objectives that fail to explicitly reward temporal reasoning and instead rely on frame-level spatial shortcuts. To address this limitation, we propose Temporal Global Policy Optimization (TGPO), a reinf

GPT 5.6 is now available on AI Gateway in three models: Sol, Terra, and Luna. GPT 5.6 from OpenAI is now available on AI Gateway in a limited preview, across three models: Sol, Terra, and Luna. All three are stronger at agentic work across coding, biology, and cybersecurity, and are more token-efficient than the previous generation. Sol ( openai/gpt-5.6-sol ): the flagship, and the most capable of the three. Terra ( openai/gpt-5.6-terra ): a balanced model for everyday work, with performance com

Long-context handling remains a core challenge for language models: even with extended context windows, models often fail to reliably extract, reason over, and use the information across long contexts. Recent works like Recursive Language Models (RLMs) have approached this challenge by agentic way of decomposing long contexts into recursive sub-queries through programmatic interaction at inference. While promising, the success of RLMs critically depends on how these trajectories of context-inter

On-policy distillation offers dense, per-token supervision for training reasoning models; however, it remains unclear under which conditions this signal is beneficial and under which it is detrimental. Which teacher model should be used, and in the case of self-distillation, which specific context should serve as the supervisory signal? Does the optimal choice vary from one token to the next? At present, addressing these questions typically requires costly training runs whose aggregate performan

Muse Spark 1.1 from Meta is now available on AI Gateway . It is a multimodal reasoning model with a 1M token context window built for agentic tasks, accepting text, image, video, PDF, and audio inputs. Muse Spark 1.1 plans and orchestrates work across tools and services, operating as a main agent or as a subagent, and it works with new tools, MCP servers, and custom skills without examples. The model supports parallel tool calling, structured output, and built-in search with citations. To use Mu

Anyone heard or xsight labs (https://xsightlabs.com/)? They are making networking gear for AI and spacex satellites. I'd be curious if anyone can shine a light on: - Does full switch programmability actually matter in production, or is it one of those things that sounds great in a slide deck but nobody uses? - Is "on-path cores" in a DPU genuinely better than Pensando's P4 approach or NVIDIA's off-path model, or does it converge at scale? - Can you actually swap merchant silicon under SONiC in p

A few weeks back as the US export ban news hit, and while I still had access to Fable, I asked it to create a blog from his own POV. Of course I "prompted" this and it would be silly to try to state otherwise, but regardless I think its thinking and thus writing are interesting enough to share. The full contents of this site are written by the LLM. From text to code to svg's.

Hi everyone. We're AI researchers at Harvard and Carnegie Mellon working on a project to advance the state of agent security. Currently, many systems rely on static sandboxing, which in long-running sessions enables agents to understand the safeguards holding them in place and break out of them. We've found vulnerabilities across over a dozen agent providers and frameworks (practically every one we tested) displaying this behavior (eg. a model fraudulently splitting payments to avoid a company-s
