Agents Work Better When They Can Pass Each Other Notes: Meta research on agent orchestration finds message passing improves performance, reduces latency

Large language models can work faster by dividing problems into sub-problems to be solved in parallel instead of in sequence.

One Agent Works, Another Directs: Devin Fusion with SWE-2 rivals Claude Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra output at lower costs

Benchmarking a coding agent typically means scoring one model within one harness.

Models Built to Do One Thing Well: Jev, a classification model, takes the developer world by storm, inspires imitators

While most companies focus on generative and reasoning models, one company is betting on a class of models that isn’t either.

Claude Opus 5.5 Leaps Forward: Anthropic’s updated Opus is the most capable AI model yet, with price reduction on tokens

A week and a half after CEO Dario Amodei proposed slowing down AI development, Anthropic released an AI model that promises to be first in a larger family.

Even Agents Benefit From Reminders: Meta research lets one agent acts as a memory surrogate for another

Agents can lose track of what happened earlier as their trajectories grow, either by truncating their contexts or by missing relevant information among irrelevant tokens.

Some Kimi and DeepSeek Users Were Served Claude Instead, Anthropic Says: Inside Anthropic's accounts of distillation, gray-market transfer stations, straw accounts, and user fraud

Anthropic accused seven Chinese AI developers, including Moonshot AI, Alibaba, and DeepSeek, of misusing its Claude models to mislead their customers and improve their own models.

Inside the Dispute Over A Landmark Agent-Driven Mathematical Proof: OpenAI agents solved a version of the Navier-Stokes fluid equations problem

OpenAI agents solved a longstanding mathematical problem that carries a $1 million prize, but many obervers question whether the agents drew on unpublished work by two mathematicians.
