DeepSeek released DeepSeek Harness v0.2 on September 29, 2026, and with it the first official desktop installers for macOS (Apple silicon) and Windows. Seven weeks ago Harness debuted as a developer-preview agent runtime that you launched from a terminal with npx. It now installs like an ordinary desktop app: sign in, pick a local folder […]

OpenAI introduced the Decisions API at DevDay on September 29, 2026 — an endpoint that does not write text at all. Developers define a question and a finite set of allowed answers, pass in text or an image as context, and get one of those answers back. It runs on a specialised version of GPT‑6 […]

OpenAI launched dots at DevDay on September 29, 2026: always-on personal agents, powered by GPT‑6 Astra, that run on their own cloud computers and keep working on your goals when you aren’t in the chat. OpenAI calls them “remarkably capable, always-on agents built to handle everything.” The pitch is a change of interaction model. You […]

A research team at China Telecom’s AI subsidiary (TeleAI) has released TeleOCR, a 1.2-billion-parameter vision-language model that parses both clean digital documents and photographed ones — folded, curled, or crumpled — with no separate dewarping step. The weights first went up on Hugging Face on August 17, 2026 under the name NaviDC-OCR. The team renamed […]

Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5.5 on September 28, 2026, and independent benchmarker Artificial Analysis ranks it second on its Intelligence Index with a score of 56, two points behind Claude Opus 5.5 and ahead of both GPT-6 Astra and Claude Fable 5.1. The mid-tier model keeps Sonnet 5’s price of $2 / $10 per million […]

On September 28, 2026, NVIDIA launched the Open Agent Safety Platform, a two-part stack for containing autonomous AI agents. It pairs OpenShell, an Apache 2.0 open-source runtime that runs agents inside kernel-level sandboxes governed by declarative policy, with Sentry, a reference design that moves monitoring onto a separate BlueField-4 DPU. The design premise, in the […]

On September 24, 2026, Google released Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar, which adds near real-time generated video to its speech-to-speech dialogue model. The avatar has a face that lip-syncs to the voice, changes expression, and takes turns in the conversation, so an enterprise voice agent can now appear as a video call. The feature […]

US companies are starting to move some of their AI workloads off premium frontier models to cheaper ones, and some of that work is going to open-weight models. A Financial Times report published on September 27, 2026 names Tinder, PNC Financial Services, CH Robinson and Siemens among the businesses that have recently discussed using open-weight […]

Black Forest Labs released FLUX 3 Action on September 23, 2026 — a 7-billion-parameter, open-weight “world action model” that takes camera frames, a robot’s current state and a text instruction, and returns the next chunk of motor commands together with predicted video of how the scene should unfold. It is the first open-weight release to […]

Apple has published the weights for LensVLM-9B, a vision-language model that reads long documents as heavily compressed images and zooms back in only on the pages it needs. The checkpoint went up on Hugging Face on September 21, 2026, alongside inference and evaluation code on GitHub. The paper behind it — a collaboration between Apple […]

OpenAI released GPT‑6 Sol and GPT‑6 Luna on September 22, 2026, three weeks after it launched the flagship GPT‑6 Astra. Sol is the mid-tier model and Luna the low-cost one. Both cost half as much in the API as the GPT‑5.6 models they replace: Sol is $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million […]

Ant Group’s inclusionAI lab has open-sourced Ming-Image-0.1-Design, a pair of 6-billion-parameter image models built for graphic design rather than photography: user interfaces, infographics, posters, and other layouts where the rendered text has to be legible. The weights went up on Hugging Face on September 17, 2026, under the MIT licence, and the lab’s Ant Ling […]
