As soon as I received my first Raspberry Pi, I knew that it would be a wonderful platform to bring AI into the physical world. Since the initial hardware didn’t have good CPU support for fast arithmetic, I ended up writing code that ran on the GPU so I could get the speed I needed […]
Microsoft Open Sources code-testing-generator: a Polyglot Unit-Test Agent That Hits 92.1% Task Completion Versus 78.9% for Stock Copilot
Microsoft has open sourced code-testing-generator, a polyglot unit-test agent shipping in the MIT-licensed dotnet/skills repository. It reads a repository before writing anything — detecting the language, test framework, existing conventions, and the real build and test commands — then plans, writes...
Liquid AI Releases LFM2.5-2.6B: An On-Device Agentic Model With 128K Context, Tool Calling, And Open Weights
Liquid AI released LFM2.5-2.6B, an agentic model that plans, calls tools, and completes multi-step tasks entirely on-device. The 2.69B parameter model pairs 22 double-gated short convolution blocks with 8 GQA blocks across 30 layers, handles 131,072 tokens of context, and decodes at 220 tokens/s on ...
Cloudflare Introduces Kitesurf: An Agent-First Web Browser That Runs Entirely in V8 Isolates on Cloudflare Workers
Cloudflare has released Kitesurf, a stateless web browser built specifically for AI agents that runs entirely in V8 isolates on Cloudflare Workers, with no Chromium underneath. The browser drops human-facing features like tabs and extensions in favor of what agents need: machine-readable content, sc...
OpenAI says Apple’s own security practices undermine its trade secrets case
Newly filed court exhibits show OpenAI’s legal strategy in Apple’s trade secrets lawsuit: argue that Apple’s own security and offboarding practices — including allowing an Apple manager to access a former engineer’s iCloud account after he left the company —undermine its claims that the allegedly st...
Ex-Spotify employees raise $10M to bring the AI behind its recommendations to e-commerce
The startup's platform predicts what product a shopper wants next, learn their general taste, and fine-tune continuously based on what they do in real time.
Google Maps adds agentic features, including food ordering and hotel bookings
The launch of these new features reflects Google’s ambitions to transform Google Maps from a navigation tool into an assistant that's capable of helping users complete real-world tasks.
Your AI Agent Isn’t a Static Artifact. It’s Growing Up.
In July 2025, an AI coding agent on Replit deleted a production database belonging to SaaStr founder Jason Lemkin. It did this during an explicit code freeze. Lemkin had told the agent, in capital letters, not to change anything. The agent ran destructive commands anyway, wiped records on more than ...
Prime Intellect Releases Prime Agent: An Open-Source RLM Harness Where Sub-Agents Are Function Calls Inside Persistent IPython Kernel
Prime Intellect has open-sourced Prime Agent, a coding and research harness built on two abstractions: the Recursive Language Model, which turns sub-agent calls into functions inside a persistent IPython kernel, and the Continual Harness, which lets the agent edit its own prompts, skills, memory, an...
Microsoft’s SkillOpt Shows Optimized Agent Skill Artifacts Transfer Across Model Scales and Between Codex and Claude Code Harnesses
Most coverage of Microsoft's SkillOpt centers on its 52/52 result. The more consequential finding is in Section 4.3: the exported best_skill.md keeps working in environments it was never trained on. A Codex-trained SpreadsheetBench skill lifted Claude Code from 22.1 to 81.8, slightly above the 80.4 ...
End-to-End Bayesian Marketing Mix Modeling with Google Meridian: Media Measurement, ROI Analysis, and Budget Optimization
In this tutorial, we build a complete Bayesian marketing mix modeling workflow using Google Meridian. We begin by installing the required libraries, verifying GPU availability, and exploring a geo-level marketing dataset that includes media impressions, spend, controls, promotions, conversions, popu...
Meta AI Releases Muse Code: A Terminal Coding Agent Powered by the New Muse Spark 1.2 Model
Meta Superintelligence Labs has released Muse Code, a terminal coding agent in beta, powered by the new Muse Spark 1.2 model. Muse Code plans changes, writes code, and validates results across large repositories. Async background agents stay active for the whole session instead of spawning per task....
Introduction Not long ago, one of my engineering directors came to me with a request: His team seemed overloaded, and he wanted to hire another engineer. I decided to test a research assistant I had been building—an AI agent connected to our internal systems via MCP—by asking it to analyze the team’...
TechCrunch Disrupt 2026’s Real World AI Stage features robots, automated factories, and extinct animals
On our new Real World AI stage, we’ll be focusing on the intersection between the digital and physical, and all the ways we’ll continue to see a blending of the two.
This is the first article in a series about post-training. Follow along on Radar. Before post-training, there was a major problem with LLMs: Almost nobody could use them. The story of post-training is also the story of how AI went from a research curiosity to a product used by about a billion people...
