🤖 From this week's issue: DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 resolves 77% of DeepSWE v1.1 tasks against 74.2% for the September version, and ships with a Search API returning up to 50 ranked results. siliconangle.com/2026/10/18/…

🤖 From this week's issue: Reflection AI publishes the weights of Beam, a roughly 500-billion-parameter model trained over two months on several thousand GPUs with practically zero cluster downtime. siliconangle.com/2026/10/16/…

🤖 From this week's issue: Meta releases Muse Spark Open, an 816-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model with 42 billion active parameters and a 1M-token context, scoring 39 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. venturebeat.com/technology/m…

🤖 From this week's issue: Meta publishes Muse Glimmer 30B, an Apache 2.0 agentic model quantized to roughly 4-bit for single-GPU inference, trained on over a hundred languages. ai.meta.com/research/publica…

🤖 Issue #478 is now live! Muse Glimmer 30B, a paper on Good Judgment, Bad Advice: Decision-Model Controllers Raise Agent Cost Without Improving Success, and many more! open.substack.com/pub/deeple…

🤖 From this week's issue: A methodologically careful report about grading six frontier models on real tasks drawn from Epoch’s own work, finding them reliable on well-defined tasks and failing on the open-ended parts. epoch.ai/publications/can-ai…

🤖 From this week's issue: A transparency report about four categories of Claude overstepping prompting Anthropic to cut all internal evals off the live internet. anthropic.com/research/inves…

🤖 From this week's issue: An unusually candid engineering article about replacing git with an in-house system in five months with seven people, after merges grew from 2,500 to over 30,000 per day. anthropic.com/engineering/re…

🤖 From this week's issue: A guide about letting browser agents pay for x402-protected resources while AgentCore checks budgets and signs transactions without exposing wallet credentials to the agent runtime. aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine…

🤖 From this week's issue: Cloudflare extends its Clef decision models to native audio, video and image input on a Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B base, returning text decisions in about 130ms at the median. blog.cloudflare.com/clef-fas…
