llama.cpp v1.0.0 : A stronger foundation for the local AI ecosystem
llama.cpp makes it possible to run multi-modal LLMs across a wide range of hardware - from consumer-grade local machines to high-end enterprise servers. Today we release libraries v1.0.0, highlighting our responsibility to those developers.
LLMON: An LLM-Native Markup Language, now in Granite 4.1 3B and 8B
LLMs rely on their context to generate the next set of tokens. To address this, we developed LLMON (LLM Object Notation, pronounced “lemon”), an LLM-native markup language for explicitly communicating structure and semantics to the models.

ToyBlocks: A controlled world for robot learning and evaluation
Today we're introducing a framework for creating these environments; we call them FoundationWorlds. Our first foundation world is ToyBlocks : an open simulation framework built around a robot arm and blocks on a tabletop.
New NVIDIA Cosmos 3 Open Models for Interactive World Simulation
NVIDIA Cosmos world model development platform adds four new open-weight checkpoints to its Cosmos 3 model family for generating interactive world simulation and multi-sensor multi-view driving scenes. All four models are post-trained examples of Cosmos 3 Nano and have 16B trainable parameters. The models use OpenMDW1.1, permitting commercial and non-commercial use under its terms.

Same Model, Different Harness: CUGA, Hermes, and Deep Agents — When to Pick CUGA?
An IBM team compared CUGA, Hermes and Deep Agents on 90 AppWorld tasks using the same open-weight model, GLM-5.3-flash. Task pass rates were 81.1%, 46.7% and 30.0%, and full-scenario pass rates were 66.7%, 26.7% and 6.7%.

NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe and Granary v2: Intelligent Multilingual Transcription You Can Prompt and Adapt
One open model for multilingual transcription, speaker attribution, translation, and audio Q&A, with top leaderboard results, plus the open Granary v2 data pipeline and fine-tuning recipes to adapt it.
Build specialized multimodal models with LFM3
LFM3 is our new generation of Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs), built to be the starting point for specialized intelligence. It brings text, vision, audio, omni, and decision models onto one shared backbone, all in the 2B parameter range.

Turning Database Grading into RL Rewards: Post-Training Agents with ThinkingBox
This is the follow up to our first blog post, The Agent Said It Was Done. The Database Disagreed. ThinkingBox-Training is now available on GitHub . We built ThinkingBox to evaluate an agent's work by comparing the final database state with the expected outcome.
OlmoEarth v1.3: State-of-the-art embeddings for the whole planet
Today, we’re releasing OlmoEarth v1.3, a state-of-the-art satellite embedding model. Alongside OlmoEarth v1.3, we’re sharing precomputed, annual embeddings for the whole planet (10m, 64- and 128-dimensions), plus a new browser-based tool to explore and customize maps based on those embeddings — the OlmoEarth Embeddings Explorer.

Recursive shows first result of its AI-driven research process with Flint
The AI startup Recursive is unveiling Flint, its first language model, a 40-billion-parameter MoE for local coding developed by former DeepMind researchers. It was created in four months using the company's in-house AI system, "Eureka Machine," which independently tests and optimizes architectures. Recursive has yet to prove whether this approach will actually lead to self-improving AI.

Hugging Face ❤️ TorchTPU: TPUs, Natively
If you ever tried to run PyTorch on a TPU, you probably ported your code to torch_xla, or you ended up having to learn JAX. With TorchTPU, a native PyTorch backend, TPU is now just another device. It opens up native support of TPU in the Hugging Face ecosystem.
NVIDIA Cosmos3-H-Dreams: Bringing Clinical Surgery to Life Through Generative Simulation
Today, we take the next step and introduce Cosmos3-H-Dreams, bringing interactive generative simulation to the visual and procedural complexity of clinical surgery with our most convincing in-body imagery to date. To our knowledge, this is the first real-time generative surgical simulator trained on clinical cholecystectomy recordings to support live kinematic control.

Deepseek V4.1 Flash 1017 beats larger rivals in agentic tasks while once again massively cutting per-task costs
Deepseek has released V4.1-Flash-1017 as an open-weight model that posts better benchmarks, finishes tasks faster, and produces shorter outputs than its predecessor. The company is also opening up its internal search engine through new Search and Fetch APIs at $0.75 per 1,000 calls. API users in tools like Claude Code and Codex get free access for now.
