AISierra has published a draft of the Personal Agent Protocol, known as Poppy, and named 35 additional design partners, including Adyen, Bank of America, Mastercard, OpenAI, PayPal, and Visa. Under the protocol, companies publish a /.well-known/poppy.json discovery file, and personal agents start sessions, identify themselves, and sign in through OAuth with session tokens limited to approved access. The company says the draft will be followed by design workshops and a reference implementation over the next month.

Why it matters: The draft specifies how personal agents identify themselves, obtain customer-approved access, and work with company websites, APIs, or agents, which helps readers assess its practical effect on agent-driven transactions.

AIAlibaba's Qwen team released Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo, an accelerated checkpoint of Qwen-Image-2.1 that generates and edits images in 8 denoising steps instead of 40. The model keeps the same 7B architecture and offers a hosted API at CNY 0.1 per image, while its weights are under a Qwen Research License that requires separate permission for commercial self-hosting.

AIQwen has released its Turbo image model with open weights, giving image app builders an option to run it in-house instead of relying on hosted API pricing. The post does not specify model size, benchmarks, or pricing.

AICloudflare has published a new model called clef-omni on Hugging Face, according to a post from Julien Chaumond, who owns the account. The post links to the model page but gives no further details about its size, capabilities, or benchmarks.

Google's FAQ says it is optimized for Apple Silicon.

AIXiaomi MiMo has released MiMo-V2.5-ASR, an open-source speech recognition model that the company says achieves state-of-the-art results across multiple benchmarks. The model supports bilingual Chinese–English recognition, Chinese dialects such as Wu, Cantonese, Hokkien, and Sichuanese, code-switching, and lyrics transcription. It is also designed to handle noisy environments and multi-speaker conversations.

AIXiaomi introduces the MiMo-V2.6 series of models, as stated on its official MiMo page. The source excerpt gives only the tagline, describing frontier intelligence across all modalities, so specific capabilities, benchmarks, and availability cannot be confirmed from it.

AIMiniMax says its open-source H3 model is almost on par with closed-source state-of-the-art video world models on physics. The claim is supported by a quoted benchmark, World Models' Last Exam in Physics, where eight leading models scored at most 57.76/100 across 40 physics tasks, and free-fall videos averaged only 26.61/100 on composite scores.

AIDatabricks has released Funke, a Python and PySpark library and deployable pipeline that parses HL7v2 healthcare messages into native Spark types while preserving the full message hierarchy. It succeeds Smolder, the Scala data source Databricks open-sourced in 2021, and ingests through Auto Loader into Unity Catalog bronze and silver tables. Users can query segments, fields, components, and subcomponents directly with DataFrame or Spark SQL expressions.

AIAnthropic has launched OSS Scanner, a free opt-in service that gives open-source projects periodic security scans by its strongest models, including Claude Mythos. The reports are fully model-generated without human review or triage, so they may be incorrect or invalid.

AIMidjourney's alpha site now lets users share folders with others as Collaborators or Viewers, with sharing by link also available. A new thinking mode lets users rerun jobs made with 8.2 standard and edit models to fix missed prompt details such as objects, layout, anatomy, and text. Sharing does not change image privacy, so non-stealth images can still appear on Explore and profiles.

AIAnthropic is launching OSS Scanner, a service that uses its frontier models to periodically scan opted-in open-source projects for vulnerabilities at no cost. Its reports provide a proof-of-concept, an explanation, and a suggested fix.

AIThariq (@trq212) says the project is built on Claude Managed Agents, with code generated in a cloud sandbox using Sonnet 5.5. He puts each run at about $0.75 and links the GitHub repository for trying it.
