Perplexity says it scores highest on Hugging Face's new Decision Index 0.3 benchmark and costs half as much as v1.
AIEnvato has launched Burst Mode, which starts from a rough idea or reference image and generates up to six image directions side by side. Users can steer those directions with moodboards and a creativity control ranging from focused to wild. Envato says it can produce up to six directions at once, up to 10× faster, for one AI credit.
AITogether with DeepSeek's model and kernels and NVIDIA's collaboration, vLLM reports that time to first token (TTFT) drops nearly 70% at roughly 100K throughput. The post credits Inferact and the vLLM community for the work and thanks SemiAnalysis for AgentX.
AIvLLM has integrated DeepSeek's MegaAttention, which uses NVFP4 KV cache and is 45% smaller, alongside Mega-mHC, Mega-Gate, and DeepSelect kernels. Its own fusions include a CuTe-DSL fused WO-A that lowers ITL by up to about 6–7%, and sparse MQA logits that run 14–23× faster per layer at 512K context.
AIvLLM's bounded sliding-window attention (SWA) replay reruns only each request's last 128 tokens after a prefix hit, instead of replaying 40 × 128 tokens. With CUDA graphs, prefill compute drops 30–40% for layers 21–39.
AIThree weeks after launch, vLLM's serving of DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash runs 1.9× faster at low concurrency and delivers 5.3× the throughput at 150 TPS per user on SemiAnalysis AgentX. The post offers interactive figures explaining how these gains were achieved.
AIAnthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot, a lightweight model built for fast, high-volume work such as subagents, quick edits, and terminal tasks. GitHub's early testing found it matched Claude Sonnet 5 on many coding tasks while using significantly fewer tokens and steps. It can be used in the GitHub Copilot app, CLI, or @code.
AIAnthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, its cheapest and fastest small model, priced at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens for prompts up to 100K tokens. It keeps a 1M token context window, up to 128K output tokens, and is generally available on the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry and Claude Platform on AWS. Anthropic reports 72.4% on OSWorld 2.1 (offline subset) versus 15.7% for Haiku 4.5, and the article notes that non-default temperature, top_p or top_k values return a 400 error.
AIOpenAI's official ChatGPT account announced Intelligent UI, which lets ChatGPT answer with fully interactive user interfaces.

AIGoogle Research announced findings from a three-month randomized controlled trial with practicing patent attorneys, led by Visiting Fellow David Autor. The study examines both short-term productivity gains and longer-term skill building resulting from AI usage.
AIOpenAI's GPT-6 Luna Decisions model is now available on OpenRouter, letting apps choose the right model, tool, or action from text, JSON, or images. It returns typed answers with probabilities, costs $0.10 per million input tokens, has a 1M-token context window, and output is free.
AIA Google Research field experiment with 133 patent lawyers found AI tool access raised drafting scores by 0.34 to 0.38 standard deviations over three months. When the tool was removed for a redlining task, only senior lawyers kept an advantage of 0.45 SD, while junior lawyers showed no discernible improvement. The authors argue that tools which boost current output must not stop junior professionals from building the judgment that senior experts rely on.
Why it matters: The field experiment separates AI's short-term productivity gains from skill retained after the tool is removed, which matters for training junior professionals.
AIOpenAI has rebuilt its plugin submission flow to provide clearer review feedback to developers. Developers can submit their plugins for review through the submission page on the OpenAI developer site.

AILauren Tan (@poteto) proposes "time to (fully automated, hands-off) rewrite" (TTR) as a rough thought-experiment heuristic for how well a codebase is set up for agents. She suggests asking how long a single engineer would need to rewrite the code in another language, framework, or architecture, since the answer surfaces gaps like missing verification that agents can use to confirm user-visible behavior matches. The post also raises questions about whether a rewrite would improve, maintain, or regress performance and maintainability over time.
AIAnthropic says Claude subscriptions will receive monthly API credits based on plan tier, with Max 20x users getting $200 each month. The Python and TypeScript SDKs are also adding computer use and browser use support, currently in beta.
