what a cool idea - giving agents $ to improve model performance
Human researchers decide everything from compute and data spend to what experiments to run. To replace them, models need this judgement. We’re introducing FrontierML, a benchmark testing how well agents use money to scale model performance on 21 challenging, end-to-end ML tasks.

introducing operator-1, an autonomous document extraction agent operator-1 saturates multiple 3rd party benchmarks, and delivers the most accurate performance on complex tasks that other solutions can't handle: > long tables with thousands of rows > lengthy files with context scattered across hundreds of pages > dense diagrams and images > much more! operator-1 is a specialized agent we built that: - runs within a custom workspace - knows how to use dedicated tools (parse, search, zoom, code execution, validation) to handle any document - learns via persistent memory

go Tommy and David! Check out Verona.so
r-1 led K1Bench, Verona’s human-adjudicated benchmark of production document parsers, with 85.20% of pages parsed without a material error—9.2 percentage points ahead of the next-highest system. The benchmark used real-world K-1 packets supplied by a partner accounting firm. Reducto’s r-1 is built for exactly this kind of document, preserving both the content and the relationships that give it meaning.

design is now code first; but designers and builders still need a playground to dream and explore - thats where @SubframeApp comes in
Meet the new Subframe: built for designers who code. Most of your work is now in code. But when you need to explore or nudge the details, prompting isn’t enough. You need a canvas. Now moving between code and design is as simple as copy / paste.

curiosity driven by intrinsic motivation is such a desirable human trait. Now Jonathan, David and the Induction team have trained models on intrinsic discovery
We’re introducing intrinsic discovery, a new learning method that allows models to explore and learn from open-ended environments without human supervision. Using intrinsic discovery, we trained a world model that surpasses GPT-5.6 Sol at simulating terminal environments.

Extend and Light Parse is the new standard for document parsing - no need to tradeoff between cost and accuracy
today, we're launching Light Parse Extend can now parse documents up to 70% cheaper than other solutions - light parse starts at $0.00625 per page, and scales down significantly with volume discounts - it's SOTA on Databricks OfficeQA Pro (a 3rd party agent benchmark) among all non-agentic parsing providers our ML/AI team trained smaller and more efficient layout, table, and form vision models to enable significant cost reduction without impacting accuracy on many types of documents live today for all users!

Kimi K3 debuts at #3 on DeepSWE. It's the first open-weights model that delivers frontier-level performance, achieving results similar to Claude Fable and GPT-5.6 Sol.

9m+ developers and only just getting started! congrats to @jmorgan, Michael, the entire @ollama team, and oss at large!
Big day for Ollama! When we started, open models and the open source AI ecosystem were in their early days with few believers. Our belief in open source has never wavered. With today's fundraising announcement and our 9M+ active builders, we’re ready to scale open models into AI that you can own. All aboard open models! 🧵

For the last few weeks, I've been building a new project called Loopy[dot]computer Loopy is an orchestrator for event-driven agent workflows. Simply put, it's an easy way to define agent workflows that should run when your data changes. Loopy is open source, agent-neutral, and code-first. You can version control your workflows, use whatever agent you prefer, and host in infra you control. I've been thinking about the future of agent automations (and loops, much en vogue these past few weeks) for a long time and while my usual method of exploring ideas is to write, it's been pretty exhilarating to be back in the saddle and shipping serious code. It's been a minute. Give Loopy a try. Or even better, lmk if you want to contribute!
The tldr. There are different kinds of "loops" that help agents figure out what they should work on. 1. Event-driven: Systems process sensor data (customer feedback, bug reports, observability etc...) in ways that uncover work that agents need to perform in pursuit of well-defined objectives. 2. Explorers: Agents continuously investigate the search space of possible improvements in ways that reflect company goals, strategy, and taste. 3. Sims: Synthetic users navigate the product to unearth potential issues before customers see them.

this matches the vibes, great job @datacurve
We've updated the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, replacing SWE-Bench Pro with Datacurve's DeepSWE benchmark - the swap lifts Codex with GPT-5.5 (xhigh) above Claude Code with Opus 4.8 (max), while the newly released Claude Fable 5 (max) in Claude Code debuts at the top DeepSWE, built by @datacurve, writes its tasks from scratch rather than adapting them from public GitHub issues or pull requests, so no model has seen the solutions during training. That matters because SWE-Bench Pro, the benchmark it replaces in our Coding Agent Index, had grown gameable, with some models recovering the fix from the repository's commit history instead of solving the task. The swap reorders the index: Codex with GPT-5.5 (xhigh) rises from 65 to 76, overtaking Claude Code with Opus 4.8 (max) at 73. Claude Code with Fable 5 (max), which enters directly on the refreshed index, leads at 77. SWE-Bench Pro had been flattering some combinations and penalizing others. More below.

most coding benchmarks are useless - petri dish tasks that are nothing like real engineering work the @datacurve team built one that actually mirrors how real software gets shipped. check it out deepswe.datacurve.ai/blog
Today we’re releasing DeepSWE, a new standard for agentic coding benchmarks. On public leaderboards, top models often look relatively close in capability. DeepSWE shows where they actually diverge, reflecting the realistic experience of developers in their day-to-day work.

Over 1 billion PDFs are created every day, but your agents still can’t read them reliably. Today we’re releasing Parse 2.0, the most accurate document parsing API in the world. Extend already processes millions of pages daily for leading AI teams like Brex, Mercury, Opendoor, Flatiron Health, and hundreds of others. Now, its even better. Parse 2.0 is SOTA quality on RealDoc-Bench, our open source benchmark that measures agent success rate on real world docs that agents actually encounter in production. We trained Parse 2.0 on 1M+ pages of the hardest documents seen in production. Here’s how it stacks up: - #1 in healthcare, real estate, logistics, and financial services - 95.7% agent Q&A accuracy on 581 docs (next best: 92%) - 0.847 F1 on layout (next best: 0.759) Give it a try today and build production-ready document agents with Extend.

love this. Testing what users actually do > testing what devs think they do
open sourcing an internal tool I built for me and @tcolitsas. its a browser agent that analyzes your codebase + logs -> figures out what UI flows are commonly traversed by users -> spins up cloud browsers + autonomously tests them hosted version: deployverona.com repo: github.com/verona-team/veron… hope its helpful for someone. built with @LangChain @agentmail @browserbase @modal @supabase @vercel

🦞Ollama's cloud is one of the best places to run OpenClaw. $20 plan is enough for most day to day OpenClaw usage with open models! To make the switch, all you need is to open the terminal and type: ollama launch openclaw Choose a model: kimi-k2.5:cloud glm-5:cloud minimax-m2.7:cloud If you are affected, Ollama welcomes you!! ❤️

Richard and Ray are special builders. Excited for the world to see Aemon
.@Aemon_ai is the AI R&D engineer. Give it a problem and a way to measure success, it then discovers optimal solutions, often going beyond what human experts can find. They just set a new record on circle packing — a classic NP-hard problem — with less than $10 of compute. Learn more at aemon.ai. Congrats on the launch, @Richard__Zhou and @RayXu_official! ycombinator.com/launches/PXs…
