Cognition raised $400M at a $10.2B valuation to advance AI coding agents, with swyx joining to support the "Decade of Agents" thesis. Vercel launched an OSS "vibe coding platform" using a tuned GPT-5 agent loop. Claude Code emphasizes minimalism in agent loops for reliability. Kimi K2-0905 achieved 94% on coding evals and improved agentic capabilities with doubled context length. Alibaba released Qwen3-ASR, a multilingual transcription model with <8% WER. Meta introduced Set Block Decoding for 3-5× faster decoding without architectural changes. Innovations in KV cache compression and quantization include AutoRound, QuTLASS v0.1.0, and AlgoPerf v0.6. Google's Veo 3 video generation API went GA with significant price cuts and vertical video support.

Cognition raised $400M at a $10.2B valuation to advance AI coding agents, with swyx joining the company. Vercel launched an OSS coding platform using a tuned GPT-5 agent loop. The Kimi K2-0905 model achieved top coding eval scores and improved agentic capabilities with doubled context length. Alibaba released Qwen3-ASR, a multilingual transcription model with robust noise handling. Meta introduced Set Block Decoding for 3-5× faster decoding without architectural changes. Innovations in KV cache compression and quantization were highlighted, including AutoRound in SGLang and QuTLASS v0.1.0 for Blackwell GPUs. Algorithmic benchmarking tools like AlgoPerf v0.6 were updated for efficiency.
