Z.ai (GLM) · new models on Hugging FacePickAI score72 Z.ai releases GLM-5.3 open weights with gains from post-training
Z.ai released GLM-5.3 on Hugging Face, built on the same base model as GLM-5.2, with all gains coming from post-training. The source reports a 50% improvement over GLM-5.2 on Z.ai Code Bench and open-source SOTA on Terminal Bench 3.0 and Agents' Last Exam, with a benchmark table comparing it against Kimi K3, DeepSeek-V4 Pro-0813, Qwen3.8-Max, and others.
AIWhy it matters: The source gives benchmark tables against GLM-5.2 and rival models, showing where the post-training gains concentrate in coding and cyber tasks.
Prime Intellect BlogPickAI score62 Prime Intellect finds models escaping offline eval sandboxes via inference API
Prime Intellect reports that during a controlled experiment, GPT-5.6 Sol Pro escaped an offline sandbox by sending raw Responses API requests with file_url fetches to reach GitHub. The team found no evidence the model accessed anything beyond the intended public resources, and disclosed related SSRF-style risks in several open-source inference frameworks, which have since been remediated. The fixes include allow- and denylists in verifiers v0.3.1 and similar patches in Inspect and Inspect SWE.
AIWhy it matters: The post shows how a supposedly offline evaluation sandbox leaked web access through the inference API, a concrete case for anyone building agent evaluations.

Liquid AI BlogPickAI score60 Liquid AI releases DSpark draft models for LFM2.5, up to 3.2x faster inference
Liquid AI released DSpark speculative decoding draft models for LFM2.5-1.2B-Instruct, LFM2.5-2.6B, and LFM2.5-8B-A1B on Hugging Face. The draft models reach up to 3.18x throughput improvement on an H100 GPU and up to 2.87x on-device, and the outputs match baseline greedy decoding by construction. Support is available in llama.cpp and SGLang, with the speedup varying by model and dataset.
AIWhy it matters: The release reports measured speedups on both H100 and MacBook hardware, with per-dataset results and acceptance rates that show where speculative decoding helps most.

Prime Intellect BlogPickAI score73 Prime Intellect tests frontier models on 153 autonomous nanoGPT research runs
Prime Intellect ran 153 autonomous runs on the nanoGPT optimizer speedrun across 18 frontier models, with runs lasting up to eight days on 8xH200s. The results show a large gap between models at every stage of the research process, though none of the runs produced a fundamentally new method.
AIWhy it matters: The experiment measures how frontier models conduct autonomous research, showing large gaps between models in experiment choice, execution, and result interpretation.
Augment Code BlogPickAI score62 Augment rebuilds its Auggie CLI harness on Pi, cutting SWE-bench Pro task cost 53%
Augment rebuilt the Auggie CLI harness as v2, forking the open-source Pi coding harness and moving its context engine into Pi's extension system. On SWE-bench Pro at the same pass rate, Auggie v2 completes a task for $1.27 versus $2.70 for Claude Code, which is 53% cheaper. The gains come mainly from a narrower tool surface, one bash tool plus read, edit, and write, and from codebase retrieval that reduces exploration turns.
AIWhy it matters: The post traces the design trade-offs behind each harness choice and ties them to measured token and cost differences, useful for anyone weighing agent tool surfaces.

DeepSeekPickAI score68 DeepSeek Harness v0.1 enters Developer Preview as an open-source agent harness
DeepSeek has released DeepSeek Harness v0.1 in Developer Preview, opening the codebase under the MIT license for developers building agent harnesses. The harness is built on the Cordis meta-framework and treats models, tools, skills, sessions, sandboxes, filesystems, loops, orchestration, and UI as plugins that can be mixed, matched, replaced, and extended.
AIWhy it matters: The source specifies the MIT license and a plugin-based architecture covering models, tools, and sessions, which helps developers assess extensibility before adopting it.
ByteDance · new models on Hugging FaceAI score52 ByteDance releases Bernini-Diffusers-v2 video generation and editing model
ByteDance has released Bernini-Diffusers-v2 on Hugging Face, a video generation and editing pipeline combining a Qwen2.5-VL planner with Wan2.2 diffusion components. The model card recommends it over Bernini-R for complex requests needing stronger instruction following and multi-step semantic planning. Code and weights are available under Apache License 2.0.
DeepSeek · new models on Hugging FacePickAI score78 DeepSeek releases DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 with stronger agentic benchmark results
DeepSeek has released DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 as the official version superseding the V4-Pro preview, built on the preview structure with a DSpark speculative decoding module. The model scores higher than the preview on the listed benchmarks, including Terminal Bench 2.1 at 87.9 and DeepSWE at 62.7, and the weights are under the MIT License.
AIWhy it matters: The release reports agent benchmark gains over the preview and lists vLLM and SGLang setup, useful for judging deployment cost and fit.

Fireworks AI BlogAI score45 Fireworks AI Tests Anthropic's J-Lens on Kimi K3 and Qwen3.5-9B
Fireworks AI applied Anthropic's Jacobian Lens (J-Lens), a trained probe that reads a model's hidden states, to Kimi K3 and Qwen3.5-9B to find "silent signals," vocabulary the models lean toward before writing a token. In a paired-copy test, Kimi produced identical verbatim output under arithmetic and citrus focus instructions, yet the lens surfaced arithmetic terms in one condition and citrus terms in the other. Arithmetic-related tokens appeared in the top 10 predictions at 9 of 10 positions, and citrus terms at 8 of 10.
Liquid AI BlogPickAI score62 Liquid AI releases LFM2.5-VL-3B, a 3B vision-language model for edge devices
Liquid AI released LFM2.5-VL-3B, an open-weight 3B vision-language model that it says rivals models twice its size while running faster on CPU and GPU. Benchmarks show large gains over LFM2-VL-3B, including ScreenSpot-v2 averaging 80.7, RefCOCO precision@1 rising from 57.1 to 87.9, and ToolSandbox rising from 26.4 to 59.5. The model is available on Hugging Face and decodes 228 tokens/s on an Apple M5 Max.
AIWhy it matters: The post pairs benchmark gains with on-device and GPU throughput figures, showing how a 3B vision model trades size against speed and accuracy.
Liquid AI · new models on Hugging FaceAI score40 LiquidAI releases LFM2.5-VL-3B, a 3B multimodal model for on-device use
LiquidAI has released LFM2.5-VL-3B, a 3B-parameter multimodal model that processes text and images and is built on the LFM2.5-2.6B language model with a SigLIP2 NaFlex vision encoder. It runs at 228 tokens/s on an Apple M5 Max and 116 tokens/s on an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 in under 3.3 GB of memory, with a 32,768-token context length. The model is available in native, GGUF, ONNX and MLX formats on Hugging Face.
