    Infer-forge: Three-layer agent system for SGLang inference optimization

    AIAnt OSS built Infer-forge, a three-layer system of Harness, Task Loop, and Task Graph that runs long SGLang inference optimization work through agents while keeping provenance. Peak Tasks in flight rose from 2 to 9, and median Task lifetime grew from 10 hours to 28 hours. The agent independently ran a full serving project on DeepSeek-V4-Pro, splitting the work into 38 verified pieces and catching kernel silent corruption on its own.

    Meituan LongCat Study Tests Whether AI Agents Can Do Research

    AIMeituan LongCat evaluated 7 frontier models on 36 AI R&D tasks covering 756 trajectories, looking beyond final scores. Of 252 solutions, only 3 were novel approaches, and most adapted or combined established techniques. The authors conclude that current agents work more like engineering optimizers than autonomous researchers, with reliability, experience reuse, and novelty still open challenges.

    Augment Code launches Cosmos Advisor, an agent that configures its own platform

    AIAugment Code introduces Cosmos Advisor, an expert that can answer product questions, configure agents, and deploy automations from a single conversation. The company says a company-specific agent can be set up in about ten minutes, without a handoff to an implementation team. Advisor draws on the current Cosmos knowledgebase and reusable expert designs, such as incident response, and it works within Object-Level Access Control.

    Augment Code's two-engineer team uses a Feedback Triager agent to handle surging product feedback

    AIAugment Code's two-engineer Cosmos Advisor team built a Feedback Triager agent to handle product feedback that grew to about 30 threads per week, which had consumed an estimated 90% of team time. The agent investigates each Slack report through root-cause analysis, answers questions, routes issues to other teams, files tickets, and hands clear fixes to a PR Author agent. Humans retain prioritization and product decisions.

    Anthropic and HHMI Janelia launch Model Hardware Standard for AI lab equipment

    AIAnthropic is building the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a common way for AI models to connect to lab and manufacturing equipment and operate it with safety limits built into each device. MHS started as a collaboration between Anthropic and HHMI Janelia Research Campus and is launching as a research preview with partners across science, robotics, and manufacturing.

    Why it matters: The source describes a standard for connecting AI models to lab and manufacturing hardware, which matters for anyone building automated experimentation workflows.

    MiniMax-H3 gets up to 6.24x speedup on 8×H200 GPUs

    AIMiniMax-H3 on 8×H200 GPUs reaches 1.85–1.95x lossless speedup over Diffusers without approximation, with fixed prompts, seeds, resolution, FPS, and 50 denoising steps. Adding step reuse and sparse attention raises speedup to as much as 6.24x, but quality varies by workload, with SSIM from 0.76 to 0.91. Two presets trade off the two: a conservative Cache-DiT setting gives 2.99x at 0.90–0.98 SSIM, while a faster SubBlock 0.75 plus Cache-DiT stride gives 4.90–5.93x at 0.77–0.92.

    GLM-5.3-Flash can run locally with Unsloth GGUF quantization on 128GB RAM

    AIUnsloth says GLM-5.3-Flash can run locally, with a 3-bit GGUF version needing 128GB of RAM and the 1-bit version working on 102GB of RAM or VRAM. The guide's table lists memory needs from 100GB at 1-bit to 650GB at BF16, and reports that the 1-bit quant keeps 71% of top-1% accuracy while being 85% smaller than BF16.

    Why it matters: The guide gives concrete memory requirements for each quantization level, which helps readers judge whether the model fits their hardware.

    Pollen Robotics unveils Microduck, a $400 open-source RL biped robot

    AIPollen Robotics has unveiled Microduck, a 25 cm open-source biped with 15 actuators and sensors including a camera, speaker, and LiDAR that users can train with reinforcement learning. The robot ships with more than half a dozen pre-trained policies for walking, sitting, roller-skating, and picking up objects with its articulated beak, and costs less than $400.

    Cursor Cloud Agents now let you start projects from scratch without a repo

    AICursor Cloud Agents no longer require a connected GitHub or other third-party SCM provider to begin work. Users select "Start from scratch" in the repo picker, and Cursor creates an Origin repo in the background that can be saved as a private or internal repo via "Create repo." Cursor also now port-forwards the cloud agent's live environment to the browser for previews, and a connected Vercel account lets users publish a live URL.

    Renmin University's Chai Yunpeng on building a social world model for AI agents

    AIIn an interview with Jiazi Guangnian, Renmin University information school dean Chai Yunpeng describes his team's social simulator, which runs over 13.5 million AI agents calibrated against the CGSS survey data. He argues that social world models are the missing piece for AI agents that must interact with people, and that the startup Jingtong Technology has raised two funding rounds in two months.

    Google Developers Blog explains deep learning with Keras for astroparticle physics data analysis

    AIThe Google Developers Blog post describes how deep learning can analyze the large, image-like sensor data from astroparticle observatories such as the Pierre Auger Observatory and IceCube. The author argues these methods could improve instrument sensitivity and reveal patterns in cosmic-ray and neutrino signals that traditional analysis techniques miss.
