Datalab's Surya 2 scores 83.3% on olmOCR-bench with a 650M VLM. One model for OCR, layout, tables, and reading order. Runs on GPU or Apple Silicon.

Mellum2 is JetBrains' open 12B MoE with 2.5B active parameters per token, 131K context, and Apache 2.0 weights. Here is when it beats bigger dense models for routing, RAG, and agent sub-calls.

Life-Harness adapts the runtime wrapper around frozen LLM agents, not model weights. Across 18 backbones it reports 88.5% average relative lift. Here is what that means for production harness design.

tau0-WM unifies video prediction, action generation, and candidate scoring in one 5.5B open model trained on 27,300 hours of robot and human video. Here is how test-time imagination changes manipulation policy design.

OpenAI shipped Codex Computer Use on Windows with ChatGPT mobile remote control. Here is what foreground takeover means for testing, security, and how I would wire it into a real agent workflow.

OpenAI shipped Codex computer use on Windows with mobile steering. Here is what foreground takeover means for QA, privacy, and how I would wire it into a real dev loop.

Cursor 3.6 shipped Auto-review with a three-stage filter and a classifier subagent. Here is how it cuts terminal prompts by roughly 84% and what I configure on client machines.
