Google released a dense September update including Gemini Robotics 1.5 with enhanced spatial/temporal reasoning, Gemini Live, EmbeddingGemma, and Veo 3 GA powering creative workflows. They also introduced agentic features like restaurant-reservation agents and reduced pricing for Gemini 2.5 Flash. Meta AI unveiled the open-weight Code World Model (CWM) 32B, excelling in code semantics and math benchmarks, with innovations in training code models via execution traces. Local-first coding setups highlight Qwen3-Coder-30B running efficiently on consumer GPUs, paired with tools like Cline and LM Studio. Runtime improvements include vLLM v1 supporting hybrid models and mlx-lm adding batch inference on Apple silicon. In infrastructure, FlashAttention 4 was reverse-engineered revealing a ~20% speedup from architectural optimizations. Perplexity AI advances its independent web index and browsing API with upcoming feed refreshes. Embedding latency improvements were achieved by Superhuman using Baseten.
