AICursor says it is excited to support open-source software alongside SpaceXAI, and it plans to bring more projects on board soon. Background from DHH indicates SpaceXAI joined the Omacom Foundation as a Founding Corporate Patron, contributing $1,500,000 in @grok tokens for maintaining and developing Omarchy.

AIArena announced a $200 million Series B at a $3.1 billion valuation, alongside a new Alignment Index that measures whether AI agents behave safely, truthfully, and within the bounds of user requests. The company has surpassed $100 million in annualized revenue, facilitated 350 million sessions and 62 million votes, and led by Felicis and PXD from the seed and Series A stages. Arena positions the index as a way to assess trustworthiness as AI systems increasingly take real actions.

AICognition engineered its marketing operations around Devin by building each workflow in code with tests, so Devin can run and debug it. Devin connects to nine systems, including Salesforce, HubSpot, Meta Ads, and LinkedIn Ads, and each change shows the exact edit, waits for a confirmation phrase, and reads the result back before reporting it. Cognition says it is hiring marketers and GTM engineers to extend the system.

AILiquid AI is building personal AI that runs on devices such as phones, wearables, PCs, and cars, using its Liquid Context layer, which is optimized for Snapdragon processors, to sit between models, agents, and hardware. The company's agent harness uses its own models to decide which user context to retain and how to compress it within fixed compute limits. Liquid AI is also collaborating with Mercedes-Benz Group AG to bring on-device AI to its cars and plans observability and continuous improvement loops for self-improving agents.

AIAnthropic is revising its usage policy for the first time in over a year, adding bans on sustained abusive or cruel behavior toward Claude and on deceptive election and propaganda campaigns. The update also expands weapons restrictions, tightens surveillance bans, and requires a qualified operator able to stop equipment when Claude controls autonomous physical hardware. Terminating conversations remains the primary enforcement mechanism, and the company did not say whether user bans would follow.

AITessl's blog post argues that repository automation needs Continuous AI, a third pillar alongside CI and CD for scheduled, auditable AI workflows that improve repositories over time. The article describes GitHub Agentic Workflows, which harden agentic workflow specifications into GitHub Actions that can run coding agents such as Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, or Codex-style agents. It emphasizes read-only agent steps, restricted outputs, and human review of pull requests.

AIMeta says its closed-loop liquid cooling recirculates water in a sealed system, so its data centers use less water annually than an average US golf course. The company also says it pays for the new generation and transmission its facilities require, including in Louisiana under its Entergy agreement, and that data centers create construction and operations jobs.

AIOdyssey has released Odyssey-3, which it describes as a major leap toward world models that power physical AI, generate training environments, and enable new human experiences. The post invites readers to try Odyssey-3 at the company's website but gives no specific benchmarks, parameter counts, or pricing.

AIPerplexity's Decider V1.1 ranked first on DecisionBench while also having the lowest cost, according to a post highlighting the result. The benchmark results cited include 949 shared text cases, 93.9% accuracy, a 534 ms median latency, and $0.016 per 1k decisions.

AIShopify has launched new connectors that let merchants connect Grok to ask questions about their business. The connectors also allow Bot to build a team of agents that help run the business.

AIZeta Global unveiled the Athena Inference Model (AIM), being developed with Fireworks using Nvidia Nemotron, as part of its AthenaOS enterprise intelligence announcements. The company also said it is doing early work with partners on a specialized chip through a capital-light approach.

AIGoodfire has published research on deploying cyber monitors in production on Kimi K3. The post links to the full research write-up and invites organizations to get in touch about deploying these monitors.

AIGoodfire reports that running its probes during model inference maintains the same throughput with no added latency. The company attributes this to infrastructure engineering, including kernel-level optimizations and a custom inference server.

AIPeriodic Labs' Liam Fedus and Ekin Dogus Cubuk explain why scientific discovery differs from math and coding, and why experiments remain the ground truth. They describe reinforcement learning grounded in physical experiments, AI-driven materials characterization, and the view that failed experiments can be valuable training data. The transcript was truncated before the discussion of giving lab instruments "140 IQ" was completed.

AIGoogle Gemma has published a developer guide for EmbeddingGemma 2, with code snippets to help developers start searching beyond text. The post directs readers to the full guide on the Google Developers Blog.

AILauren Tan (@poteto) asks a bot to monitor interesting ways people use Grok Bot on X and send a daily 9am Slack digest. The request also asks for the coolest relevant ideas plus suggestions for improving her workflow.

AIAWS published a reference architecture for running multiple teams on one Amazon SageMaker HyperPod EKS cluster, with each team isolated in its own Kubernetes namespace. The design combines AWS IAM Identity Center for authentication, per-team SageMaker AI domains, HyperPod Task Governance for fair resource allocation, and namespace-level cost allocation for per-team spend visibility.

AIJetBrains has released Mellum2.1, a 12B mixture-of-experts thinking model with 2.5B active parameters, under Apache 2.0 on Hugging Face. Post-training reinforcement learning in real software repositories raised SWE-bench Verified from 2.0 to 47.0, according to JetBrains' self-reported results. Qwen3.5-9B still leads on SWE-bench Pro, GPQA Diamond and AIME, and GGUF builds start at 7.0 GB for local use.

AIGoodfire Research describes probe-based cyber monitors for Kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 deployed on a production inference stack. The probe filters suspicious exchanges before an LLM judge reviews them, reaching about 93% recall at a 5.5% benign-session interruption rate at roughly 50x lower judge cost. In FAR.AI's red-teaming, the monitor reduced universal jailbreaks to zero across 140 tested strategies.

AIVercel says StepFun's flagship Step 5 Preview, built for agentic coding, research, and finance, is now live on AI Gateway. The model offers a 1M-token context window, accepts text and image input, and uses a 600B-parameter mixture-of-experts design with 27B parameters active.

AIAnthropic's credits can be used with the Messages API, Claude Managed Agents, and the Agent SDK. They cannot be used for interactive Claude Code sessions, but they also apply in third-party harnesses that accept a Claude API key.

AIAnthropic now provides monthly Claude Platform API credits to Max and Team subscribers: $100 for Max 5x, $200 for Max 20x, and up to $500 pooled for Team. The credits can be used on any Claude model, including in code or third-party harnesses.

AIArena has announced a Series B round co-led by Lightspeed and Khosla Ventures, with participation from Salesforce Ventures, 01 Advisors, Dell Technologies Capital, and Endeavor Catalyst. Existing investors Andreessen Horowitz, Felicis, a16z's AMP, QuantumLight, and The House Fund also supported the round.
