ARTIFICIAL ANALYSIS V5 AND THE BENCHMARKER'S DILEMMA

Independent evaluation of language models is a hard task. It is difficult to create a number that is representative of current models that matches vibe checks, community sentiment, and scientific analysis, while being forward-looking enough so that it's not outdated in three months. Independent evaluators dictate the winners and losers of a trillion-dollar market. They can also influence the direction of model development, increasing the pressure.

QWENPUTER: A FULLY FUNCTIONING, DETERMINISTIC RISC-V CPU INSIDE QWEN3.5

Qwenputer is a fully functioning, deterministic RISC-V CPU that runs inside Qwen3.5. The CPU runs on its own Gated DeltaNet layers as RAM. It can run arithmetic operations and C and MicroPython code without any external runtime or tool usage. This post explains how the model works, how the model uses GDN layers as RAM, and how the developer also slotted in an experimental in-model file storage.

INTRODUCING VERCEL CI

The Vercel AI is now available in beta. The CI is able to keep up with coding agents. It runs only the tasks affected by a code change, and spins up only the compute those checks need. At Vercel, the system has decreased the time from git push to 'CI pass' by 2-6x.

INTRODUCING THE MICROSOFT COPILOT HARNESS: UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF TRULY MULTI-MODEL AGENTIC WORK

The Microsoft Copilot harness powers Copilot Code, Copilot Studio, the GitHub Copilot app, the CLI, VS Code, and more. It is now available through Microsoft Foundry. The harness gives developers and enterprise customers a fully managed way to build agents that reason, use tools, and complete complex, long-running tasks. It was built to perform across model families, and is flexible and configurable to any type of app, agent, or service.
