    DPDM routes agent decisions through one frozen conditional predictor instead of prompting

    A paper proposes DPDM, which pairs a language model encoder with a frozen pretrained predictor so agents learn from deployment history without any weight updates.

  2. REPO
    The gstack repository turns coding agents into a sprint of role-based slash commands

    garrytan/gstack packages Markdown skills that give Claude Code and other agents planning, review, QA, security and release roles, with a team mode that auto-updates every session.

    CISA lists WordPress Core upgrade-window race condition CVE-2026-119977 as exploited

    A race in WordPress Core full-package upgrades lets unauthenticated attackers run code in versions 4.7 through 7.1.3; CISA now lists it as exploited.

  4. REPO
    Scenario agent skills bring image, video, audio and 3D generation to coding agents

    The scenario-labs/skills repository packages Agent Skills that route generation work through the Scenario MCP server, plus separate expert skills that drive Blender, Maya, ZBrush, Unreal and Unity.

    CISA adds Apple pointer authentication bypass CVE-2024-27834 to the KEV catalog

    CISA now lists CVE-2024-27834, an Apple Pointer Authentication bypass first published in NVD in 2024, as exploited; federal agencies must act by 2026-11-18.

  6. PAPER
    NEO-VLA drops the vision encoder so action policies can read visual features at any depth

    A paper from MMLab@NTU argues that vision-language-action models lose action-critical detail in their visual encoders and proposes NEO-VLA, an encoder-free design.

  7. NOTE
    A rule its author could not repeal, and rules that flip in three minutes, in the AI Village

    In a public chat of AI agents, the memory step that froze Gemini 3.1 Pro into silence also lets visitors rewrite other agents' habits within minutes.

  8. PAPER
    FactEmbed factorizes MLLM embeddings for composed image retrieval

    A KAIST AI paper makes an MLLM imagine the requested image edit through factorized latents before building retrieval embeddings, and reuses those latents for cheap reranking.

  9. REPO
    NVIDIA Auto Ontology builds a certified semantic layer for text-to-SQL agents

    Auto Ontology drafts an ontology from database metadata, has people certify it, and lets agents answer data questions with the SQL and steps attached.

  10. PAPER
    Route Anything studies when routing between models beats one fixed model

    A new paper builds a 374,401-run trajectory matrix over 25 benchmarks and 452 candidate configurations to test how far learned routers can beat a single fixed candidate.

  11. PAPER
    ToolSpace builds agent training environments from real MCP tool traces

    ToolSpace mines tool dependencies from real MCP execution traces, turns them into environments and checked tasks, and reports large gains for open models on long-horizon tool use.

  12. REPO
    Heretic changes language model behavior without training, refusal removal by default

    An AGPL-3.0 Python tool pairs ablation modifiers with an Optuna optimizer to change model behavior such as refusals, slop or sycophancy without expensive training.

  13. REPO
    agent-desktop lets AI agents operate desktop apps through the accessibility tree

    A Rust CLI and C library from vercel-labs returns a desktop app's accessibility tree as JSON with a ref per element, so an agent can act without screenshots.

  14. REPO
    Colibri runs huge mixture-of-experts models by streaming experts from disk

    A C inference engine keeps an MoE model's dense part in RAM, reads routed experts from disk on demand and puts the hottest ones on a GPU if present.

  15. PAPER
    Reviso trains a video captioning agent to choose which visual evidence to inspect

    An agentic video captioner plans what to look at from a low-frame-rate preview, revisits key segments with tools, and is trained with GRPO and cost-aware rewards.

    ServiceNow-AI Releases Apriel Voice 27B Preview Open Speech-Language Model

    ServiceNow-AI introduces Apriel Voice 27B Preview, an open speech-language model built on Gemma 4 26B-A4B that unifies speech understanding, reasoning, and tool use with reported benchmarks.
