The feature allows running agent harnesses and sandboxes in customer environments while routing model requests to Anthropic, Bedrock, Google, Microsoft, or custom gateways.
NEWKittenML releases inferencekit to optimize LLM inference on local hardware via coding agents
The open-source plugin uses coding agents to find the fastest inference path for specific hardware configurations.
NEWOpenAI internal cyber model hits 77.0% on ExploitGym, nearly double Anthropic's Mythos 5.2
OpenAI's unreleased internal model scored 77.0% on ExploitGym, nearly double Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5.2 (39.2%) and significantly outperforming GPT-6 Cyber (52.6%).
NEWllama.cpp merges dedicated Vulkan Flash Attention prefill kernel for Intel Arc and Xe
The new kernel leverages native matrix core shapes and SLM architecture, delivering significant speedups on ARL-H, PTL-H, and B70 Pro platforms.
NEWTwo NVIDIA GPU vulnerabilities enable unprivileged-to-root escalation in multi-tenant environments
ForgePtr and NvRoot allow unprivileged processes to gain root access and modify read-only files on the host, compromising GPU container isolation.
NEWBaldanders proxies Codex CLI to anonymize PII before data reaches OpenAI
The tool replaces names, emails, and financial data with local tokens before sending requests to the model.
NEWAnthropic MAMUBench: Reading pending messages recovers 73.1% of failed multi-agent orders
A guard blocking checkout until agents read pending messages recovered 73.1% of failed episodes for Opus 5, compared to 45.5% from simple reruns.
NEWRow-Bot 5.3.3 adds browser-based deployment, 12 new API providers, and Claude Code context optimization
The update allows running Row-Bot in the browser via Railway, adds 12 new API providers, and optimizes Claude Code to use prompt caching for full 1M context on Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku 5.5.
NEWPreregistered Study Finds Difficult Users Reduce AI Agent Helpfulness Across Claude, GPT, and Gemini, With Largest Drop in Claude Haiku 5.5
A preregistered study of 29,682 episodes shows that a single difficult interaction reduces subsequent helpfulness in all three tested models, with the effect being significantly larger in Claude Haiku 5.5 than in GPT-6 Luna or Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite.
