Anthropic has moved its most cyber-capable model into a product security teams can switch on themselves. Claude Security scans now run on Claude Mythos 5, in public beta for Claude Enterprise customers with no separate model add-on. The scan connects to a GitHub repository, traces data flows across files, and returns findings with a CWE category, confidence and severity ratings, and a suggested patch. The design point is packaging: users receive a scan result rather than a prompt box, so the model that finds vulnerabilities cannot be steered into writing exploits.

Three ~300M drafters bring speculative decoding to LFM2.5, delivering up to 3.18x faster decoding with identical greedy output.

NVIDIA has released TensorRT Model Connect (TRTMC) in public preview, an Apache-2.0 project that takes a supported Hugging Face or local checkpoint to end-to-end TensorRT inference in two commands, with no intermediate ONNX export. The build emits a versioned .bundle artifact that runs through native C++ task APIs, so inference executes without PyTorch in the runtime path. NVIDIA's July 29, 2026 GB300 snapshot covers 105 release profiles across 76 model families.

Cartesia has released Sonic-3.6, a streaming text-to-speech model built on state space models rather than transformers. It now ranks #1 on both Artificial Analysis speech leaderboards — 1,283 Elo on Provider Voice and 1,123 on Controlled Voice, the board that clones every model onto the same eight reference voices to isolate the synthesis engine. Cartesia states sub-90ms time-to-first-audio. The model is available in beta on Cartesia's own API

ByteDance Seed and Tsinghua AIR have released CUDA Agent, an agentic reinforcement learning system that trains a large language model to write GPU kernels...

MiniMax released MiniMax-Music3, an open-weights text-to-music model. Given lyrics with section tags and a structured caption, it generates a complete song of up to five minutes in a single pass, as 32 kHz, 16-bit stereo WAV. Here is the architecture, the three serving paths, and the license conditions that matter before you ship.

DeepSeek Harness v0.1 is an MIT-licensed agent harness where every capability is a Cordis plugin. Four runtime modes, append-only session logs, and provider-agnostic model routing.

Z.ai released GLM-5.3 on August 14, 2026. The model reuses the 743B GLM-5.2 base unchanged. Every reported gain comes from scaled post-training: more long-horizon task environments, more environment types, longer training. Terminal-Bench 3.0 moves from 4.6 to 28.3, and DeepSWE v1.1 from 46.2 to 66.9. Cybersecurity moved further than Z.ai says it planned, with CyberGym at 84.5% and ExploitBench more than doubling to 54.4%. Weights arrive in about two weeks.

Google has released Gemini 3.7 Flash, a refinement of Gemini 3.6 Flash with algorithmic improvements to its reasoning core. It handles text, images, audio, and video across a 1M-token context window with 64K-token output, and supports customizable thinking configurations. Coding results move notably: 43.6% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main versus 34.4%, 65.3% on DeepSWE v1.1, and 1588 Elo on WebDev Arena. Document and workflow evals gain more — GDP.pdf goes from 22.0% to 34.0%, AutomationBench from 17.0% to 30.4%. GPT-5.6 Terra still leads on terminal and computer-use agents. The model is API and enterprise only, with no open weights, at an introductory $0.75/$3.75 per 1M tokens through December 31, 2026.

Liquid AI released LFM2.5-VL-3B, a 3.1B-parameter vision-language model built for on-device deployment. It averages 80.7 on ScreenSpot-v2 and lifts RefCOCO grounding from 57.1 to 87.9. Function calling is new to the VL line, with ToolSandbox moving from 26.4 to 59.5. The model fits in roughly 3 GB and decodes 228 tokens/s on an Apple M5 Max.

Dyna Robotics has released Dyna-2, a world-action model pre-trained on more than one million hours of egocentric human video. The technical report establishes three results: a scaling law on human data to 1M hours, the first transfer of that law to unseen robot data, and evidence that video co-training drives cross-embodiment generalization.

NVIDIA's open 30B MoE targets the agent execution layer, with Switchyard routing each step to the cheapest capable model.
