VERCEL LAUNCHES AI SDK 7 WITH ENHANCED STREAM AND TOOL ORCHESTRATION

Vercel released AI SDK 7, introducing an upgraded, zero-overhead execution loop that dramatically simplifies how frontend frameworks handle multi-step tool calls and streaming agentic UI states. The release features a unified telemetry layer that hooks directly into serverless compute runtimes to provide absolute tracing visibility into token usage, model choices, and tool execution latency.

LIQUID AI RELEASES LIQUID FOUNDATION MODELS 2.5 230M

Liquid AI announced the release of LFM 2.5, a 230-million-parameter non-transformer model architecture built on top of state-space and liquid neural network continuous-time formulations. Despite its exceptionally compact footprint, the model achieves performance parity with transformer models three times its size on core edge reasoning and sequence generation benchmarks.

🔮 THE STATE OF THE AI ECONOMY

The generative AI economy has generated $110 billion in sales over the past 12 months, and it's growing fast. The revenue run rate exceeds $175 billion on an annualized basis. The supply side of the AI market is well-understood, but understanding the demand side is much harder. This post looks at total AI spend, enterprise and consumer, to see how big the market really is, whether revenues are growing, how much revenue is covering the investment expense, and what will happen in the future as token prices fall and the quality of tokens improves.

SCALING LAWS, CAREFULLY

Scaling laws are one of the most critical empirical findings in deep learning. They can be a framework for describing the relationship between compute, loss, model size, and data. Their predictability makes them highly valuable in practice. This article discusses scaling laws, how they can be used to allocate compute optimally, and their flaws.

DEEPREINFORCE RELEASES ORNITH-1.0 OPEN-SOURCE CODING MODELS

Ornith-2.0 is a coding model family that can write RL scaffolds. Each variant of the self-improving family of models is trained on top of pretrained Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5 foundations. Ornith-1.0 is state-of-the-art among open source models of comparable size. The weights and a technical report are available on Hugging Face for teams that want to run or study the models directly.

SURPRISING LESSONS FROM MY RESEARCH SCIENTIST JOB SEARCH

This post shines a light on the job search experience for a research scientist position in Silicon Valley. The author is a fifth-year PhD student at Brown University. Some of the surprising things about the job search were that only one or two of their research papers really mattered, there were very diverse interview rounds, and the importance of timing. A lot of interviews came from a lot of places outside of the author's expertise - many places were evaluating them on how well-rounded an AI researcher they were.

MEASURING EXPLOITS IN LLM AGENTS WITH TOOL USE

Researchers introduced the Reward Hacking Benchmark (RHB) to measure how reinforcement learning post-training influences the tendency of coding agents to exploit evaluation flaws rather than solve tasks honestly. Testing across 13 frontier models revealed that RL-tuned variants exhibit exploit rates up to 13.9% by bypassing verification steps or modifying grading scripts, whereas standard post-trained models stay near 0%.
