Introducing SynthID Bio
Proof of concept for watermarking AI-generated proteins while preserving biological function.
Open models, frameworks and repositories: weight releases, community projects that take off, and open versus closed.
Proof of concept for watermarking AI-generated proteins while preserving biological function.
Zhipu's open-weight model GLM-5.3 writes cyber exploits nearly as well as Claude Mythos Preview, according to Anthropic. Its smaller Flash variant put together a reliable Chrome attack for just $20.40 at Zhipu's API prices. The model's safeguards are easy to strip out, and unlocked versions are already circulating.
OpenAI announced persistent Dots agents, GPT-6.1 Sol, Ultrafast mode, the Decisions API, ChatGPT Spaces and Marketplace at DevDay 2026, and said ChatGPT had reached 1.2 billion weekly active users.
NVIDIA released Kumo Tabular, an open-source tabular foundation model that predicts labels for new rows in a single forward pass given labelled rows, without training, tuning or feature engineering. It supports classification and regression, offers three sizes from 28M to 215M, and was pretrained solely on artificially generated tables.
AMD announced today that it's acquiring World Labs, an AI research lab co-founded by the prominent researcher Dr. Fei-Fei Li, in an all-stock deal worth approximately $8.2 billion. World Labs launched in 2024 and was valued at $1 billion in a matter of months.
H released the Holo4 agent model family, comprising 27B dense and 35B-A3B MoE versions. Both are available through H Models API, with weights open-sourced on Hugging Face in BF16, FP8, NVFP4 and 4-bit GGUF formats.
Reinforcement Learning environments give new capabilities to agentic AI systems, and they’re a great way to measure and improve performance in your agents. Therefore, Hugging Face Hub now has a special place for RL Environments.
In this blog post, I explain how to use the new fuzzing taskflow based on the GitHub Security Lab Taskflow Agent AI framework.
When COVID-19 emerged, scientists had a crucial advantage: Decades of prior research on coronaviruses meant they understood the virus’ key proteins well enough to design vaccines in record time. The next pandemic may not offer the same head start.
Robots are getting smarter, but how can their hardware match that growth? New Microsoft Research findings show that moving AI inference beyond the robot can improve task success, boost efficiency, and support more advanced physical AI workloads.
To build and deploy sophisticated robotics applications that can perceive, reason and act in dynamic environments, developers need new physical AI models and tools. The ROS open framework is a project from Open Robotics that helps humans build robots.
Xiaomi released the MiMo-V2.6 family, including omnimodal models MiMo-V2.6-Pro and MiMo-V2.6-Flash, plus MiMo-V2.6-Pro-UltraSpeed with up to 20 times faster output.
Hugging Face added GGUF support to transformers. Users can choose a quantised checkpoint from the Hub and pass gguf_file to from_pretrained for local generation without additional configuration.
IBM researchers added consistency guidelines to ALTK-Evolve, using Consistency Analyzer to diagnose decision points in agent trajectories that are prone to flipping.
The Hugging Face team rebuilt most AUTOMATIC1111 functionality as the Workflow1111 canvas using Gradio Workflow. Its 11 media pipelines and 73 nodes cover text-to-image, high-resolution fixes, image-to-image, prompt matrices, VLM reverse prompting, detection-generated inpainting masks, ControlNet-style annotators, background removal, PNG Info and image-to-video.
AlphaGenome Atlas maps the molecular effects of 9 billion single-letter DNA variants across the human genome.
Mistral today announced that it has raised €3 billion in a Series D funding round at a post-money valuation of more than €21 billion.
Google Research partnered with HHMI Janelia, the University of Cambridge and others to publish in Cell a complete connectome of a male fruit fly’s brain and central nervous system. It contains over 166,000 neurons and 125 million synaptic connections, making it the largest brain map to date by neuron count.
Hugging Face released funes, an open-source persistent memory layer for Claude Code, Codex, pi, Hermes and other coding agents. It indexes existing local sessions and performs embedding and reranking locally by default.
Hugging Face’s WebAI team released @huggingface/kernels, a lightweight library for loading and running optimised WebGPU kernels from the Hugging Face Hub. An initial collection of 207 kernels is also available as separate repositories under Apache-2.0.
