Story

VISTA (arXiv 2606.30005) makes working memory typed addressable blocks with a runtime dashboard of token size, recency, and access history, letting the model evict its own blocks. Training-free and model-agnostic. Gemini-3-Flash went from 22.7% to 50.7% on LOCA-Bench.

Gemini 3.5 Flash hit general availability and became the default Gemini model.
GA and stable for production across the Gemini API, Enterprise, and Antigravity, and now the default in the Gemini app and AI Mode in Search globally. Google pitches frontier-level intelligence at ~4x the speed of comparable models, priced at $1.50/$9 per 1M tokens, 1M-token c...
Microsoft shipped its own coding model at Build, and the platform owners are coming for the layer
Microsoft unveiled MAI-Code-1-Flash at Build, its first model that turns written descriptions into source code for apps and websites, explicitly aimed at lowering developer costs and cutting its dependence on OpenAI (CNBC). Same week, Google pushed Gemini 3.5 Flash to general...
Praxist beat a Claude Code baseline on MLE-bench at one twelfth the model spend, and the mechanism is copyable
$3,054 against $38,370. Same benchmark, better score. Praxist (arXiv 2608.25955, submitted August 26) replaces per-attempt agent memory with a typed evidence graph of findings, plus lane-structured frontiers and agendas, so later attempts inherit validated mechanisms rather th...
Vercel is giving away GLM 5.2 for eve agents through August 27.
The changelog offers Z.ai's open-weights coding model with a 1M-token context free via Blackbox AI on AI Gateway, default for new eve agents, switchable for existing ones with eve set --model zai/glm-5.2. Excludes Fast mode and the glm-5.2-fast variant. Separately, Gemini 3.7...
claude-mem crossed 80K stars. Persistent memory across 28+ agent runtimes from one install
claude-mem hit 80,189 stars at v12.6.4, with 1,840 commits and 109 contributors. It hooks five agent lifecycle events to capture observations, compresses them through Claude's agent SDK into SQLite, and reinjects relevant context on new sessions. No manual tagging. One npx com...
