Google DeepMind undergoes a leadership reshuffle with Demis Hassabis moving to Chair and Chief Scientist roles, while Koray Kavukcuoglu takes operational control focusing on Gemini and product execution. The launch of Discovery Loop by founders including Jeff Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat, Oriol Vinyals, and Quoc Le targets automated machine learning and scientific discovery, backed by major venture firms. Meta AI releases Muse Spark 1.2 and Muse Code (beta), co-trained model and harness for coding agents, achieving strong benchmark scores and emphasizing harness-model co-design, entering the coding-agent competition alongside systems like Claude Code and Codex. The market views these moves as pivotal for AI-for-science and coding agent development.

MiniMax M2.1 launches as an open-source agent and coding Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with ~10B active / ~230B total parameters, claiming to outperform Gemini 3 Pro and Claude Sonnet 4.5, and supports local inference including on Apple Silicon M3 Ultra with quantization. GLM 4.7 demonstrates local scaling on Mac Studios with 2× 512GB M3 Ultra hardware, highlighting system-level challenges like bandwidth and parallelism. The concept of inference quality is emphasized as a key factor affecting output variance across deployments. Yann LeCun's VL-JEPA proposes a non-generative, non-autoregressive multimodal model operating in latent space for efficient real-time video processing with fewer parameters and decoding operations. Advances in agentic reinforcement learning for coding include self-play methods where agents inject and fix bugs autonomously, enabling self-improvement without human labeling, and large-scale RL infrastructure involving massive parallel code generation and execution sandboxes.
