  1. Liquid AI ships LFM2-VL-3B, a 3B vision model built for the edge

    Liquid AI has released LFM2-VL-3B, a 3 billion parameter vision-language model designed to run on edge hardware rather than in a data center. It is the largest model in the company’s LFM2-VL family, which previously topped out at 1.6B parameters, and is available now under the LFM Open License on Hugging Face and through Liquid AI’s LEAP platform. The model pairs Liquid AI’s densest text backbone, LFM2-2.6B, with a SigLIP2 400M NaFlex vision encoder. That combination lets it take in images at t

  2. Shutterstock wires its library into Claude

    Shutterstock built a Content Connector that puts its licensed photos, video, music, and sound effects inside a Claude chat. Anthropic users can now search Shutterstock's catalogue and license assets without leaving the conversation. The connector puts Claude where ChatGPT stood in April, when Shutterstock shipped a similar app inside OpenAI's assistant. Shutterstock is positioning itself as the licensed content layer for AI-native workflows, a way to stay useful as generative models pressure th

  3. Nvidia's Nemotron 4 aims for a trillion parameters, but China is already there

    Nvidia is building Nemotron 4, a new family of open-weight AI models meant to challenge the strongest freely available models, according to reporting by The Information cited by The Decoder. The largest model in the family is planned to reach at least one trillion parameters, twice the size of Nvidia's current Nemotron 3 Ultra. To train it, Nvidia has tripled its cloud spending on in-house model development to 28 billion dollars through 2031. The earliest the models could ship is this fall. C

  5. Researchers can now read the hidden reasoning inside frontier AI APIs

    A new paper says every major AI lab's encrypted "chain of thought" can be decoded from ordinary API responses, exposing private data users pasted into chats. Since OpenAI's o1, frontier labs have hidden their models' step-by-step reasoning behind cryptographic signatures, fearing rivals would distill it. The protection was supposed to be a hard confidentiality barrier. It was not. A team led by Alexander Panfilov and Jonas Geiping showed that a legitimate signed reasoning block pulled from one

  6. Chinese hackers deploy open-source AI agents to automate espionage against Taiwan and Thailand

    Chinese-speaking threat actors are now deploying open-source AI agents to automate espionage-grade hacking against government targets across Asia, according to coordinated disclosures from Hunt.io, Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, and the Financial Times. The campaign, active since at least June 2026, centers on Hermes, an open-source autonomous agent framework that crossed 140,000 GitHub stars by July. Operators run Hermes in "YOLO mode," a configuration that removes human approval prompts and lets

  7. Zhipu's GLM-5.2 Narrows the Gap With Anthropic's Fable 5 on Coding Benchmarks

    Zhipu AI's open-weight GLM-5.2 model has placed second globally on the Code Arena coding benchmark, trailing only Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 and sitting within one point of Claude Opus 4.8 on the hardest agentic tasks. The result, recorded after the model's June 13 release under an MIT license, signals a fast-closing capability gap between Chinese open-weight systems and the leading U.S. frontier models. Benchmark Performance On Code Arena's front-end coding leaderboard, GLM-5.2 places second

  8. xAI launches Grok Bot, a workforce of always-on AI agents

    xAI launched Grok Bot on August 11, 2026, a product it describes as a team of always-on AI agents that run on their own cloud computer, sign into a customer's existing tools, and complete multi-step jobs without supervision. The announcement came through xAI's newsroom. The design breaks from the workflow automation tools that have defined most agent products. Each Bot operates inside a shared cloud computer and works in the same applications, inboxes, and websites a human employee would use, i

  9. Nvidia's Nemotron 3.5 Lightning bets on speed over size

    Nvidia has released Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, the first model in a new Nemotron 3.5 family, and it is playing a different game than most open-weight releases this year. Instead of chasing the highest intelligence score, Nvidia built a compact model that runs fast and cheap while still matching much larger rivals on standard benchmarks. A small model that keeps up Lightning carries 31.6 billion total parameters, but only 3.6 billion are active at any moment. It keeps the hybrid Mamba-Transformer

  10. Anthropic Will Watermark All Claude Output in the EU to Meet AI Act Rules

    Anthropic announced Monday it will embed invisible watermarks in text and attach C2PA-signed provenance metadata to files generated by future Claude models released in the European Union. The company framed the move as compliance with the EU AI Act's transparency requirements for general-purpose AI systems. The watermarks will apply worldwide to output from covered models across the Claude Platform (API), Claude chat, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and Claude Tag, as well as third-party providers
