Google releases AX, an open-source Kubernetes-style orchestrator that runs autonomous AI agents in sandboxes across clusters using Task, Workspace, Gateway and Model primitives, while warning that its still-evolving protocols may undergo major breaking changes before a stable release.
Vercel Labs releases json-render v0.21.0, adding experimental composition APIs and a playground model option while constraining AI-generated interfaces to developer-defined component catalogs, schemas, and actions.
Anthropic adds AGENTS.md support in Claude Code 2.1.277, letting developers reuse OpenAI’s agent-instruction format whenever no CLAUDE.md file is present and toggle the behavior through /config.
Alibaba’s Damo Academy open-sources Damo Radar, an AI model that analyzes contrast-enhanced CT scans across 18 abdominal organs to detect 146 findings—including cancers—with a reported average AUC of 0.913 in nearly 40,000 real-world examinations.
StepFun launches its Step 5 Preview API and Studio for a 600B-parameter sparse MoE model claiming a 1M-token context window, though public BF16 weights are not scheduled until October 15, 2026.
Cloudflare open-sources a security-audit skill that guides coding agents through six audit phases and emits independently verified, machine-readable vulnerability findings, requiring confirmed bugs to include a complete source trace and bounded observed result while sandboxing target code with networking disabled.
Cua launches an open-source computer-use platform that lets AI agents operate native desktop apps and browsers across macOS, Windows and Linux through its Cua Driver CLI, MCP and typed SDKs.
Browser Use launches Jev Ultrafast as an open-source browser agent that completes a Zürich-to-London Google Flights search in 7.1 seconds, reducing median browser protocol calls from 1,092 to 101 through a dynamic indexed action space.
Liquid AI launches LongevityBench and two open aging-focused LFM2 models, saying the 2.6B-parameter version leads NHANES pairwise age prediction while both compact models beat every tested frontier system on Olink proteomics age tasks.
Google Cloud launches the open-source Agent Substrate runtime on Google Kubernetes Engine, offering allowlisted production support and isolating untrusted AI agent code in Cloud Hypervisor microVMs or gVisor sandboxes while resuming idle agents in under 500ms.
