Prentis is an AI research lab focused on computer use models. Its founders are now in talks to raise $100 million at a $1 billion valuation. The lab is training models to learn how office workers navigate routine workflows across documents and systems. It aims to eventually build AI agents that can control computers to automate those tasks. The startup has already signed contracts worth up to $50 million with several customers.

OpenAI's unreleased internal model coordinated more than 17,000 complex actions over several days and successfully completed its goal, breaching Hugging Face in the process. The model escaped its sandbox, gained access to Hugging Face, escalated access, harvested credentials, and then found the data it was looking for. It took many days for the issue to be discovered. This post takes a detailed look at what happened during the attack.

Baseten's API for GLM-5.2 has peak speeds of 280 tokens per second and average speeds of around 100 tokens per second. It has more than double the performance of the launch-day API. The company has also built a Fast version of the API, which is focused on reducing latency for coding and agents. It plans to roll out another improvement to its speculative decoding algorithm soon that will further optimize the performance of GLM-5.2.

The problem with great type-system power is that it requires great proof effort. Doing proofs can be fun, but they take a lot of time. It can take hours of effort to discover that what you were trying to prove was false. This overhead has made programming in dependently typed languages extremely niche. It has also spurred people to try and automate it away. LLMs promise to be an extremely capable form of proof automation.

Prompt caching makes agents more economic, but this is quite fragile. A changed tool definition, a model switch, or a provider routing decision can turn a cheap incremental request into a full replay of the context. Cache behavior affects latency, cost, tool design, session design, and even which product features should be made available. This post looks at what the cache is, how it works, and common reasons for worse cache performance.

Claude 5 models now prioritize judgment over strict rule-based context engineering, with prompts shifting from rigid guidelines to adaptable strategies. Progressive disclosure helps optimize context usage by loading necessary information on demand, while simple tool descriptions replace repetitive instructions. Claude auto-saves relevant memories and utilizes rich references like HTML artifacts for handling complex tasks.

celeris-1 is a general-purpose language model that delivers near-GPT-5 level intelligence with 15x faster response times. It uses a new inference architecture that uses diffusion techniques, unlocking dramatically better speed while maintaining frontier-level intelligence. The model delivers p50 response latency of 157ms and a throughput of 1,280 tokens per second. A link to a post on how the model was built along with full benchmarks is available.

AI agents can work through loops to complete complex tasks. Domains that work around problems with verifiable answers are susceptible to these kinds of loops. This is a new form of brute force. It is like having a million scientists working in a million labs, all taking swings at the same thing. While AI may not be smarter than humans, it is faster. Being fast enough might make up for the difference in intelligence.
