Anthropic has launched the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open protocol designed to enable seamless integration between large language model applications and external data sources and tools. MCP supports diverse resources such as file contents, database records, API responses, live system data, screenshots, and logs, identified by unique URIs. It also includes reusable prompt templates, system and API tools, and JSON-RPC 2.0 transports with streaming support. MCP allows servers to request LLM completions through clients with priorities on cost, speed, and intelligence, hinting at an upcoming model router by Anthropic. Launch partners like Zed, Sourcegraph, and Replit have reviewed MCP favorably, while some developers express skepticism about its provider exclusivity and adoption potential. The protocol emphasizes security, testing, and dynamic tool discovery, with guides and videos available from community members such as Alex Albert and Matt Pocock. This development follows Anthropic's recent $4 billion fundraise from Amazon and aims to advance terminal-level integration for Claude Desktop.

Zhipu AI, Alibaba's AI arm and China's 3rd largest AI lab, released the open 5B video generation model CogVIdeoX, which can run without GPUs via their ChatGLM web and desktop apps. Meta AI announced trust & safety research and CyberSecEval 3 alongside the release of Llama 3.1, with Llama 3 405B now available serverless on Google Cloud Vertex AI and Hugging Face x NVIDIA NIM API. Updates include Moondream, an open vision-language model improving DocVQA and TextVQA tasks, and the lightweight MoE chat model Phi-3.5 with 16x3.8B parameters. Together Compute introduced the Rerank API featuring Salesforce's LlamaRank model for document and code ranking. Research highlights include superposition prompting for RAG without fine-tuning, the AgentWrite pipeline for long-form content generation over 20,000 words, and a comparison showing Long Context methods outperform RAG at higher costs. Tools include Not Diamond, an AI model router, AI command line interfaces, and an open-source WebGPU background removal tool. "You don't even need GPUs to run it," referring to CogVIdeoX.
