Terminal-agent capability depends jointly on model weights and the runtime harness. CoTrace introduces data recipes that treat trajectories produced during harness search as differentiated training signal.
Identifies training choices for flow matching in latent reasoning space. The FLaRe recipe reaches 97% of explicit CoT accuracy at 25% latency, evaluated across five requirements.
Uses the DeepSeek Engram architecture to decouple factual knowledge storage from model parameters, enabling targeted edits without full retraining.
A general-purpose recurrent model that preserves crucial information across long horizons while keeping generation cost manageable. Achieves strong results at 4B scale.
Compresses prefix hidden states at learned boundaries, evaluated across five model scales from Qwen3-1.7B to 27B.
Nvidia launched the RTX Spark PC powered by the N1X chip (Grace CPU + Blackwell GPU), featuring 5th-gen Tensor Cores, DLSS 5, and up to 128 GB unified memory. Pre-orders opened with shipping starting October 16.

Series B led by Sequoia, with NVIDIA and Microsoft M12 participating. The startup collects human motion data to train physical AI and robots.
$8M seed co-led by Sequoia Capital and First Round Capital, $30M Series A led by Hummingbird Ventures. AI detects clinical risk signals in hospital patients.
Undisclosed raise at $300M valuation, backed by SV Angel, Valar Ventures, and American Spirit. Consumer AI assistant for personal productivity.
Free means $0 per token today, not unlimited or unconditional: both platforms rate-limit free use and require a free API key, some OpenRouter free endpoints may train on your prompts unless you opt out in account settings, and the roster changes daily. Verified against each provider's own pricing data at generation time — but pricing changes without notice, so confirm it's still free on the provider's own page before you rely on it.
