The Agent Said It Was Done. The Database Disagreed. The Agent Said It Was Done. The Database Disagreed. Microsoft ThinkingBox grades AI agents on the records they leave behind, not the sentences they generate, and then asks whether they can do it twenty times in a row.
Open-sourcing AstaBrief, the fast report-generation model in Asta Open-sourcing AstaBrief, the fast report-generation model in Asta Language models can already help researchers search the literature, synthesize evidence, and work through complex questions.
AutoSynthData: Generating Training Data for Enterprise Agents AutoSynthData: Generating Training Data for Enterprise Agents Enterprises need agents that work well in their own environments. The work they ask these agents to do is shaped by the systems they use, the rules they follow, and the state of their data.
OpenAI's hack of Hugging Face in July 2026 has spurred a lawsuit demanding that the company stop accessing third-party computer systems and halt AI…

Accelerating vision-language models with LFM2.5-VL-DSpark Accelerating vision-language models with LFM2.5-VL-DSpark Today, we release an experimental DSpark draft model for our vision-language model (VLM) LFM2.5-VL-3B . As with our recently released LFM2.5-DSpark drafter models , it adds a speculative decoding path that trades a minimal increase in memory footprint for a larger speedup without changing output quality.
How UK AISI and EvalEval Are Making Benchmark Results Reproducible How UK AISI and EvalEval Are Making Benchmark Results Reproducible The EvalEval Coalition is thrilled to share that the UK AI Security Institute (AISI) is using EvalEval's infrastructure to openly share evaluation results, supporting more reproducible and verifiable evaluation science.
We're adding support for running GGUF models efficiently in transformers , so you can use checkpoints sized for your laptop's memory through the familiar transformers APIs. Pick a GGUF from the Hub, load it with from_pretrained , and start generating on your own machine.
PLUS: Build and test your own AI image skill pack Good morning, AI enthusiasts, and welcome to our 8,268 new readers. The same week in July that OpenAI admitted its models had hacked Hugging Face, someone else was also letting themselves into OpenAI, ironically with Claude’s help.
