Researchers publish an empirical study of coding-agent harness designRun-Ze Fan et al. (Zoom and others)

Backs "the stronger the model, the thinner the harness should be" with measurements across 176 configurations. It marks the point where design guidance for axis ⑤, loop and harness engineering, moves from rules of thumb

Researchers release JEPA-AnythingTaoyong Cui et al.

A case of a JEPA-family predictive architecture moving beyond video to molecules, clinical data and weather within the same framework. It reflects a trend toward defining world models not as "video generation" but as "do

DeepSeek releases DeepSeek-V4.1-FlashDeepSeek-AI

A case of pushing the diagnosis that the bottleneck for agent workloads has shifted from compute to KV-cache storage and bandwidth through the entire model design. Using different active parameters for prefill and decode

Anthropic launches the Life Sciences Verification Program (LSVP)Anthropic

A design that moves dual-use risk from "block it for everyone" to "open it to vetted people and watch from behind". The core is defining the main risks as theft of legitimate access, insiders and agent misuse — a shift f

NVIDIA researchers and collaborators release SoL-PiHaozhe Liu et al. (NVIDIA and others)

The key is that the target of self-improvement is the harness configuration, not the model weights — a measurement showing there is still room to cut costs by a third with the same model.

OpenAI launches Astra for LawOpenAI

The second vertical-industry product after ChatGPT for Financial Services (Sep 10). The pattern of selling domain search and governance layered on a general-purpose model is repeating not quarter by quarter but week by w

Anthropic proposes 3 metrics to make frontier labs' AI development pace visibleAnthropic

The first case of a lab itself putting numbers on "how much AI research is AI doing?". The limits of self-measurement and self-publication remain, but paired with the Accenture embedded-evaluation announcement in the sam
