    Claude can now join Slack group DMs and reply in threads

    AIClaude can be added to Slack group DMs the same way as any other member. It answers in a thread and keeps following that thread, so anyone in the DM can reply to it there. It can also use the personal connectors of whoever asks.

    Reflection AI's Beam open model is compared against leading Chinese models

    AIThe author says Beam, a 501B-parameter open model from Reflection AI, comes close to GLM 5.2 in capability but trails GLM 5.3, Kimi K3, and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash in several areas. The author attributes Beam's competitiveness mainly to inference efficiency, with inference compute at roughly one-third to one-quarter of GLM 5.2's.

    Reflection AI's Beam open model has 501B total parameters and 23B active

    AISophia Yang congratulated Reflection AI on Beam, a 501B-parameter open model with 23B active per token. She attributes its efficiency to an RL length penalty that discourages unnecessary tokens and a sparse MoE architecture. Reflection says full weights will be released this month, and the quoted post reports training over 100 million rollouts on 10.5K NVIDIA GB300 GPUs over four weeks.

    Why it matters: The post explains Beam's efficiency through an RL length penalty and sparse MoE design, with benchmark charts comparing it against other open models.

    PyTorch consolidates media decoding and encoding in TorchCodec

    AIPyTorch moves all image, video, and audio decoding and encoding into TorchCodec, which handles CPU and CUDA. TorchVision and TorchAudio now focus on transforms, and the older decoding APIs in both libraries are deprecated or removed. All three libraries are now ABI stable, so they no longer need rebuilding for each PyTorch release.

    Cognition's Devin adds "Dreaming" offline memory cleanup, open-sourced as a standard

    AIHarrison Chase praises Cognition's "Dreaming" feature, which lets Devin clean stale memory records and surface latent information offline. He argues agent memory needs an offline cleanup loop rather than only better retrieval, and questions how inferred memories get validated before use. He also welcomes Cognition's plan to release Agent Memory Repo as an open standard.

    NVIDIA releases Nemotron-Labs-3-Competitive-Coding model on Hugging Face

    AINVIDIA has published Nemotron-Labs-3-Competitive-Coding on Hugging Face, a competitive-programming specialist model built on Nemotron-3-Ultra. The model is available in the NVIDIA-Nemotron-Labs-3-Competitive-Coding-550B-A55B-NVFP4 repository, indicating a 550B-parameter total size with 55B active parameters in NVFP4 format.

    Reflection AI announces Beam, a 501B-parameter agentic open model

    AIReflection AI introduced Beam, an agentic open model with 501B total parameters and 23B active parameters, trained end-to-end from scratch. The quoted announcement says it targets frontier reasoning efficiency and coding and agentic tasks, with full weights due this month. Clément Delangue, Hugging Face's CEO, reposted it with a welcome to the Reflection organization on Hugging Face.

    Why it matters: The quoted announcement names Beam's parameter scale, active-parameter count, and coding and agentic focus, which helps readers gauge where it fits among open models.

    Reflection AI's Beam model pretrained in four weeks on 24T tokens

    AIReflection AI says its Beam model was pretrained in 4 weeks on 24T high-quality tokens, giving it innate coding capabilities. The company credits MoE stability improvements and large-scale data curation and deduplication for a base model it claims outperforms open-source base models of the same class. It presents this strong reasoning foundation as what makes sustained reinforcement learning gains possible.

    Reflection AI previews Beam, a 500B open model under Apache 2.0

    AIReflection AI says its Beam model, with a 500B form factor, combines strong agentic performance and efficient reasoning for enterprises, governments, and developers. Beam is in final red-teaming and will be released this month under an Apache 2.0 license, with quantized FP8 and NVFP4 versions for efficient deployment. Early access sign-ups are open on the company's platform.

    Reflection's founders discuss building a DeepSeek of the West with Beam

    AIReflection is set to release Beam, its first open-weight AI model, aiming to become a Western counterpart to DeepSeek. The source says Beam is trained from scratch for coding, reasoning, and AI agents, with benchmarks placing it alongside the strongest open models and more efficient token economics. Reflection has raised $4.6 billion from investors including Nvidia, Sequoia, and Lightspeed, and the interview covers its monetization plans for open-weight models.

    Gergely Orosz says coding agent product strategy feels like "YOLO"

    AIGergely Orosz says many coding agents seem to follow a "YOLO" product strategy, with rapid week-over-week change learned about through random social media posts. He notes this makes some sense given how quickly the industry and capabilities keep changing. Quoted context reports that Anthropic is removing Cowork's local option for Pro/Max users, with new tasks running in the cloud while existing local tasks stay on the computer.

    Cognition's Devin adds Dreaming, a nightly memory graph across sessions

    AICognition introduces Dreaming, a feature in which Devin builds a memory graph of how a user likes to work across sessions. At night, Devin self-improves this memory by removing stale records and discovering latent information. Cognition also says it is creating an open-source standard called Agent Memory Repo, linked in the post.

    OpenAI limits text watermark detector access citing watermark weaknesses

    AIOpenAI says text watermarks are often undetectable in short passages and can be fully removed by rewriting or translating text. For now, only approved researchers will get access to its detector so they can help evaluate and improve the technology. OpenAI says it will keep testing and refining text watermarking with feedback from users, developers, policymakers, and researchers.

    OpenAI adds invisible text watermarks to detect model-generated content

    AIOpenAI says it may give people a choice about text watermarking, which embeds an invisible statistical signal during generation to help show whether text was likely produced by an OpenAI model. The watermark does not reveal the text's author, owner, or any person, account, conversation, or prompt. In OpenAI's testing, watermarking did not affect model capability, speed, or response quality.

    OpenAI expands content provenance to text watermarking for EU AI Act compliance

    AIOpenAI is extending its content provenance approach to text, starting with watermarking eligible text from ChatGPT and Codex in the EU over the coming weeks. The company says this is in response to EU AI Act requirements and acknowledges the significant limitations of current text watermarking technology. API customers can turn on text watermarking for select models worldwide starting today.
