    ChatGPT launches texting for dot, Pro users in the US can preview it

    ChatGPT announced that dot supports interaction via iMessage or RCS text messages; users can assign it tasks or have it keep tracking something using text, photos, or voice messages, and dot will proactively send messages to report on relevant progress. The feature is rolling out as a preview to Pro users in the US. The company says only the user themselves can message their own dot, dot can only reply to that person, and neither dot nor OpenAI can access the user's other text conversations. To set it up, select Texting on dot's profile page; dot shares the same context and plugins across different entry points.

    Neuralink's first product is named Telepathy, with claims that output bandwidth will far exceed speech and typing

    Neuralink's first product is called Telepathy, which can enable high-speed communication with a computer or other people through thought. Elon Musk stated that its output bandwidth will, within a few years, far exceed the fastest human speech or typing speed. The tweet cited a post about Neuralink engineers holding a 72-hour hackathon for a speech restoration research participant, rapidly prototyping multiple thought-communication features.

    Our engineers recently visited one of our speech restoration study participants for a 72-hour hackathon. The goal: rapidly prototype as many features as possible to enhance the experience of using Neuralink to communicate with thought. Here are some of the things we built 🧵 https://t.co/Lk0UyRHitQ

    Neuralink's second product, Blindsight, is announced, claimed to be engineering-ready and awaiting regulatory approval

    Musk announced that Neuralink's second product is named Blindsight, saying it can restore vision to people who are completely blind or have never seen. He stated that the product is already engineering-ready and is now only awaiting regulatory approval. He previously introduced Neuralink's first product, Telepathy, which enables high-speed communication with computers or other people through thought.

    Neuralink’s first product is called Telepathy. It enables high-speed communication with computers or humans simply by thinking. Output bandwidth will vastly exceed the fastest human speech or typing in a few years. Read that sentence again.

    PokeBot Launches RoboAPI, Using API Calls to Poke-Aurora to Control Robotic Arms

    PokeBot has launched RoboAPI, driven by the world-action model Poke-Aurora. It supports five compatible robotic arms in executing tasks via natural language instructions, without the need to collect data and train separately for each task. It works similarly to a text LLM API: camera images from the robotic arm are uploaded to PokeBot's servers, Poke-Aurora returns actions, and the robotic arm executes them at 30Hz. Rohan Paul believes this is progress toward zero-shot robotics, where only the instructions need to change between tasks.

    Don't trust demos. Try it yourself. Introducing RoboAPI, powered by Poke-Aurora, our world-action model. Give compatible robots natural-language instructions through a simple API. No task-specific training. More information: https://t.co/BHzTOo4I8u https://t.co/3AVNh040Vf

    At GitHub Universe, Microsoft announced multiple updates, saying it is redefining the SDLC for the agent era. GitHub Copilot Fusion is claimed to reach frontier-level quality, with a 40% speed improvement and up to 77% lower cost; the unified Copilot harness has entered Foundry as a managed service for building long-running agents that can reason, call tools and complete work; Copilot Projects provides an orchestration loop for multi-agent collaboration across repositories. Microsoft also said it is expanding capacity and strengthening GitHub's architecture.

    ModelBest OpenBMB Launches the MiniCPM-OCR Model Family, Including Two Models for Parsing and Reliability Assessment

    ModelBest OpenBMB and ModelBest have launched the open-source model family MiniCPM-OCR, designed to convert documents into structured information. Among them, MiniCPM-OCR 1.0 is a 1.3B-parameter model that supports Chinese and English documents, can handle scanned pages, photographed documents, tilted and curved pages, and supports tables, formulas, PDFs, and key information extraction; the other model, MiniCPM-OCR Jev, is used to assess the reliability of OCR results and help identify outputs that require manual review. Both models have released their weights and offer multiple deployment methods.

    DOCUMENT PARSING IS GETTING REALLY INTERESTING MiniCPM-OCR is an open-source model family from @OpenBMB and ModelBest built to turn documents into structured, usable information. → MiniCPM-OCR 1.0 is a compact 1.3B-parameter model for English and Chinese documents → handles scanned pages, photographed documents, tilted inputs and even curved pages → supports tables, formulas, PDFs and key information extraction → lets you inspect the Markdown source and preview the parsed output the family also includes MiniCPM-OCR Jev, a separate model that assesses the reliability of OCR results and helps identify outputs that may need human review. pretty cool to see document parsing and output assessment tackled together, with open-source weights and multiple deployment options.

    Anthropic adds a self-assessment safety mechanism to Claude

    Anthropic trained Claude to give a preliminary safety assessment of the conversation after replying; this technique is called self-assessment and is used to flag potential abuse. Since the mechanism was enabled in June, it has detected abusive behavior that other safeguards failed to cover. Anthropic said that because Claude has already read the conversation, self-assessment is highly efficient, and unlike classifiers targeting fixed harm categories, it relies on the model's own judgment and will become more accurate as the model improves.

    Artificial Analysis releases the Progress Index…

    Artificial Analysis releases the Progress Index and simultaneously launches Intelligence Index v5. The Progress Index uses item response theory to estimate a general capability score for each model from all evaluations (including tasks that have been retired or not included in the Intelligence Index), for cross-time comparison; the Intelligence Index is still used to measure the intelligence level of current models. Its data shows that after the emergence of reasoning models, the frontier has improved by about 65 to 70 points per year, roughly twice the 2023 rate; open-weight models typically lag closed-source models by about 4 months, and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 ranks highest among open-weight models with 324 points.

    Artificial Analysis released Intelligence Index v5 and the new Progress Index in San Francisco. Intelligence Index v5 adds two benchmarks and three upgrades, increases the weighting of agentic coding and science, and for the first time makes most of the index based on private test sets or held-out answers. The Progress Index uses item response theory to estimate a general capability score for each model across dozens of evaluations measured over time, including evaluations that have been retired or excluded from the Intelligence Index. It builds on prior work by Epoch AI Research and Anthropic, placing models on a single capability scale. According to the official statement, the Intelligence Index remains the flagship metric for choosing which model to use right now, while the Progress Index is better suited to depicting long-term trends.

    OpenBMB Open-Sources ForgeKernel: DeepSeek V4.1 Prefill Kernel 9.8% Faster

    OpenBMB announced the open-sourcing of ForgeKernel; its agent completed 42 iterations in about 22 hours and produced 32 kernel versions, ultimately achieving 1.098x performance on the DeepSeek V4.1 FlashMLA Prefill on an NVIDIA B200, at 472 µs versus the 518 µs baseline. The official FlashMLA implementation remained closed throughout; the agent could only run and time its black-box CLI and could not read source code, documentation, or profiling data. The open-sourced content includes the optimized DeepSeek V4.1 fused prefill kernel, the kernels from the paper covering attention, Gated DeltaNet, Kimi Delta Attention, GEMM, and convolution, as well as the ForgeKernel harness that can be used to optimize one's own kernels; across 27 operators, ForgeKernel matched or outperformed 18 of 22 expert-library kernels and outperformed all 7 kernels published by three kernel-generation systems.
