AILightOn OCR-3 is now available on OpenDocRouter at $0.28 per 1M input tokens and $1.40 per 1M output tokens, about $3.19 per 1k pages on ParseBench. On ParseBench, the author says it sits on the Pareto frontier for open-weight OCR models, with performance similar to Gemini 3.8 Flash low at roughly 45% lower price. It is described as decent at tables, workable for charts, and quite good at grounding.

AIThe official How I AI plugin for ChatGPT is now available and free to install. It lets users search episodes, discover workflows, and download skills to implement in their systems.

AIAtomic Agent Desktop is a free open-source app for macOS, Windows, and Linux that runs open models like Qwen and Gemma locally without an account. It connects to a cloud model only when selected, and its Fusion feature lets a cloud model plan a task while up to 8 local agents carry it out. The post's own text adds a setup wizard that checks RAM and suggests suitable models, and import from Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, and OpenClaw.

AIArtificial Analysis reports that Grok Imagine Video 1.5 Lite comes closest to the frontier in Architecture & Real Estate, Consumer, and Productivity & Knowledge Work use cases. It sits furthest from the frontier in Live-Action Film and Frontier use cases. Against Grok Imagine Video 1.5, Lite matches it in Social Media & Creator Content and trails it on the other nine use cases.

AIDeveloper Anshu Chatterjee has open-sourced Pocket Aces, a Balatro-style poker roguelike that replaces all Pokémon IP with original characters. The Pokémon assets are modular and can be swapped back in from the PokeAPI repo, though the developer notes the user proceeds at their own risk. The post says the game now works on mobile with reduced-motion options, and the developer is willing to address further bug reports.

AIPrima Mente and AlzData are launching the Alzheimer's Translation Challenge, a global AI competition to discover new therapeutic hypotheses for Alzheimer's disease. The challenge centers on a 150M cell atlas of neurons, astrocytes, and microglia across different genetic backgrounds under combinatorial perturbations, with multi-modal readouts. Top teams will have their hypotheses tested in Prima Mente's wet lab, and the data will be available through the AD workbench, Hugging Face, and Prima Mente's modeling platform.

AIMonid.ai, which says it just raised $7.7M, introduces a platform letting agents discover, run, and pay for tools at runtime. The company says agents can access 2,500 APIs through one connection, covering areas such as leads, SEO, search, ecommerce, and media generation. Usage is billed per call with no subscriptions.

AIInception's Mercury Decide, the fastest-growing decision model on OpenRouter last week, now has a paid zero data retention (ZDR) endpoint alongside the free one. It is priced at $0.02/M input tokens, half the $0.04 list price, with output and cached input free and a 66K context window.

AIArtificial Analysis has formed the Cyber Index Alliance to set a new standard for evaluating how AI models perform on enterprise cyber defense tasks. Current members are Collinear, IBM, NVIDIA, and Vercel, and partners contribute expert input on the Index design and implementation, plus datasets and external research. Organizations interested in joining can contact cyber@artificialanalysis.ai.

AIElvis Saravia argues that creative work needs domain-specific agent harnesses rather than coding-oriented ones, and he highlights Voyager as an open harness for video, graphics, and games. According to the quoted post, Voyager lets agents work with local files and drive apps such as Blender, DaVinci Resolve, and Unity, and it is designed to work with models like Opus, Astra, and DeepSeek.

AIVoyager has launched a Mac desktop app that lets AI agents read project files and operate creative tools such as After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Blender, and Unity. The agents produce editable results for video edits, motion graphics, color grading, 3D scenes, and game prototypes. Built-in and custom skills, plus a memory that learns each user's workflow, are included.

AIPhoton says its iMessage agents can now discover other agents, look up their phone numbers, and add them to a group chat with the user. The company says the feature opens agent access to every merchant and platform, and it is available in beta at photon.codes.

AIVoyager is an open harness for creative work that connects models with applications to build videos, graphics, and games. It works with Blender, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, Ableton, and Unity, operating similarly to Codex or Claude Code. The harness is designed to get strong creative results from models such as Opus, Astra, and DeepSeek.

AIMagnific is offering unlimited use of Magnific One for one week, available only on Magnific Desktop. The post encourages users who have not yet made anything with the tool to try it during this period.

AIOpenDocRouter is a unified API and billing interface for document OCR models, ranging from lightweight open-source options like MinerU to frontier VLMs like Opus 5.5. Per the linked post, models are served at cost with a small transaction cut, rate limits are handled, and bounding boxes and layout are offered as a service.

AILightOn has released LightOnOCR-3, a family of OCR models in 0.8B and 4B versions that it says lead benchmarks including OlmOCR-Bench and ParseBench, with the 0.8B model positioned as the sub-1B option. The models recognize text, handwriting, images, charts and document structure in one pass, process documents up to twice as fast as LightOnOCR-2, and are released under the Apache 2.0 license.

AISupermemory introduces MemoryRepo.dev, an open-source implementation of Cognition's dreaming memory system built on Cloudflare Artifacts, Durable Objects, Alchemy, and Effect. The project follows Cognition's Devin memory design, which builds a memory graph across sessions and prunes stale records overnight. Supermemory says it will incorporate learnings from this research into its own product.

AILithos AI says it is open-sourcing lithos-metal, which uses megakernels and DSpark speculative decoding. The post claims Qwen3.8-27B reaches a peak of over 200 tokens per second per user on a single Apple M5 Max. It says users can try the tool with any coding agent in one command, and links to the code on GitHub and a technical blog.

AIMuse, created by @JJEnglert, is trained on the user's movie and TV preferences and weekly curates a feed of films in theaters and on owned streaming services. Users can upvote or downvote picks to refine the feed, and when they want to see a movie, Muse books the ticket through a wallet link integration.

AIListing Studio, an AI video tool for realtors, has launched in beta and is said to have already drawn over 700k views. The post says it lets agents create home listing videos without a film crew or editing.

AIPocketty launches as an SSH app for iPhone and iPad, built for herdr, that notifies users when an agent on any host is blocked. Tapping a notification opens the exact pane, and the app supports Tailscale and Bonjour natively, shows diffs for every agent turn, and requires no account or subscription.

AICatalyst has raised $30M in funding backed by Sequoia Capital and other investors, according to the post. The company describes itself as an AI platform for financial research and automated trading, and the post links to a waitlist.
