Cognition's new coding agent scores near frontier results for pocket change
Cognition's SWE-1.7 coding model narrows the gap to frontier systems at a fraction of the cost, scoring 42.3% on FrontierCode and running at 1,000 tok/s. The model was trained on an improved reinforcement learning pipeline using Kimi K2.7 as the base.

MiniMax's M3 just wrote its own CUDA kernel, and opened the code
MiniMax M3 scores 83.5 on BrowseComp, edges past Opus 4.7, and handles up to 1M tokens natively. In a remarkable autonomy test, it self-optimized a GPU kernel from 7.6% to 71.3% peak utilization without human intervention.

Hugging Face's Moon Bot turns Slack into a coding agent, and that's just this week
Moon Bot brings AI-assisted coding directly into Slack workflows, while VLX-Flow and VLX-Seek tackle real-time video understanding and fine-grained perception. Other highlights include a medical encoder pretraining recipe, QLORA distillation experiments on Qwen, and an extraterrestrial benchmark for machine learning.
