Upstage Solar Open 2 (Solar-Open2-250B): a 250B model that fires only 15B per token
Korea’s Upstage just put out Solar Open 2, an open-weight LLM rebuilt from scratch for agentic work — the multi-step, tool-calling, document-heavy stuff that eats context. It’s a Mixture-of-Experts: 250B total parameters, but only 15B activate per token. They reused just 2.3% of the last generation. This is a ground-up model wearing an old name.… Continue reading

Blaxel Agent Drive gives Codex and Claude Code one filesystem to share
Run five agents on a task and you hit the same wall: each one works in its own sandbox, blind to what the others produced.

text-to-cad by earthtojake hits 9.8k GitHub stars turning plain English into editable CAD
CAD is where generative AI usually falls apart — geometry needs precision, and a part that’s 95% right is a part that doesn’t fit. text-to-cad, an open-source project from earthtojake, is the first attempt in a while that hardware people are actually passing around. 9.8k stars, 600+ in a single day, trending on GitHub.

Claude Cowork “Record a Skill” turns a screen recording into a reusable agent skill
Until July 21, teaching Claude a repeatable workflow meant writing it down — steps, edge cases, a SKILL.md file. Now you just do the task while it watches. Record a Skill sits in the + menu of the Claude desktop app, inside Cowork, Anthropic’s agent workspace for the office work nobody wants to do by… Continue reading

Google Gemini 3.6 Flash / 3.5 Flash-Lite / 3.5 Flash Cyber: two you can use, one you can’t
Google shipped three Flash models on July 21, all aimed at the same problem — agents that run thousands of steps and burn tokens doing it. 3.6 Flash uses 17% fewer output tokens than 3.5 Flash and still scores better where agents live: DeepSWE code editing 49% vs 37%, MLE Bench 63.9% vs 49.7%, OSWorld-Verified… Continue reading

Cursor Agent Swarms hit 1,000 commits per second, and dropped worker cost from $9,373 to $411
Cursor pointed a swarm of coding agents at a blank repo and told it to rebuild SQLite in Rust. Four hours later, Grok 4.5 had 80% of the test suite passing. The old swarm architecture couldn’t survive past hour two. A planner that never writes code Agent Swarms is orchestration inside Cursor, not a new… Continue reading
