Microsoft Research@MSFTResearchOfficialAI score24AIMicrosoft Research introduced Agent Lightning, a tool that connects existing AI agents to reinforcement learning training. It aims to make agents easier to improve without rebuilding them, since their tools, context, and decision-making are typically managed by complex frameworks.
Perplexity@perplexity_aiOfficialAI score45AIPerplexity has released pplx-embed-v2-late, two late-interaction embedding models that retrieve text, images, and pages within a shared embedding space for cross-model querying. The company says both models achieve frontier performance and are publicly available on Hugging Face.
Jerry Liu@jerryjliu0XAI score47AILlamaIndex has launched OpenDocRouter, a unified API that transcribes documents to markdown across frontier and open-weight models at cost plus a small transaction fee. The service handles rate limits, adds bounding boxes and layout as a service, and will benchmark new OCR models on ParseBench before adding them.
LlamaIndex 🦙@llama_indexOfficialAI score47AILlamaIndex announced OpenDocRouter, a single API that routes document parsing requests to any of 10 frontier and open-source models at launch, including Claude Opus 5.5, Gemini 3.8 Flash, GPT-6 Luna, MinerU2.5-Pro, and PaddleOCR-VL-1.6. Users can switch models in one line with the same request and markdown output, and each model is scored on ParseBench for quality and cost. Pricing is per-token, failed pages are not charged, and the service costs $0.86 to $48.82 per 1,000 pages depending on the model.
AIOpenAI's Codex 0.161.0 release makes GPT-6.1 Sol the default model in the bundled and Amazon Bedrock catalogs. It adds Amazon Bedrock support for multi-agent V2 and Ultra reasoning on compatible models, plus opt-in Daybreak routing enabled through --enable cli_daybreak or features.cli_daybreak=true.
Luma@LumaLabsAIOfficialAI score12AILuma invites users to try a Face Swap feature available on its app platform. The post provides a link to the Face Swap solution page and includes no details on capabilities, pricing, or limits.
Luma@LumaLabsAIOfficialAI score12AILuma announced Face Swap, a feature that swaps the face in a shot while keeping the rest of the scene intact. It offers a way to iterate on videos without regenerating them from scratch.
AIMicrosoft Research Asia has open-sourced Agent Lightning v1.0, a roughly 3,500-line agentic RL framework that trains the same agent harness used in deployment. In an end-to-end coding agent pipeline, Qwen3.5-9B rose from 41.8% to 56.4% Pass@1 on SWE-bench Verified using about 6,000 training samples. The framework runs agents as standard Kubernetes jobs without paid commercial sandbox services.
Why it matters: The source shows how training with the deployed agent harness avoids rebuilding agents, and reports concrete SWE-bench Verified gains from about 6,000 samples.
Ai2@allen_aiOfficialAI score36AIAi2 is making new Stage 1 checkpoints available, with the byte-level components already trained and the original model's weights left unchanged. Researchers can use them to test new architectures and train the full system without repeating that initial stage.
AIThe AWS Machine Learning Blog describes an automated remediation workflow that acts on AWS DevOps Agent investigation results. Amazon EventBridge triggers a Lambda durable function that uses Amazon Bedrock to propose fixes from an allowlist of tools, running read-only actions autonomously and pausing for human approval before infrastructure changes. The post demonstrates the flow with a Lambda function whose 3-second timeout is raised to 30 seconds after a single approval.
AIGitHub has made local sandboxing for GitHub Copilot generally available in GitHub Copilot CLI, the GitHub Copilot app, and VS Code sessions using Agent Host. Sandboxes restrict the filesystem, network, and credentials that Copilot-initiated tools and commands can access, based on developer or organization policies. The feature is powered by Microsoft eXecution Container (MXC), supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is included at no additional cost.
AIGitHub Copilot CLI version 1.0.94-0 lets users run /model to discover supported models from a running local Ollama instance alongside configured and GitHub Copilot cloud models. Discovered models are not added automatically; users choose one, review its provider and endpoint, then confirm Add and use for this session or Add without switching, and models must support tool calling and streaming. Choosing a local model does not enable offline mode or disable GitHub telemetry, and COPILOT_OFFLINE=true remains a separate explicit setting.
AINVIDIA's cuOpt decision optimization software now targets problems with 100 million variables using mPDLP. The source says cuOpt already delivers more than 10x speedups over CPU solvers, while detailing little else about mPDLP's design or availability.
