Training and benchmarking a computer-use agent needs four things — agents, environments, traces, and a framework to evaluate and train them — and all four ship in incompatible formats today. CUA-Lite, from a UC Berkeley led team, puts them behind one action space and one data schema, and replaces OSWorld's per-task virtual machine with a plain Docker con

OpenBMB has released MiniCPM5-2B, a dense causal language model with 2,516,756,480 parameters and a native 131,072 token context. It averages 53.9 across the 34 benchmarks in its model card, ahead of Qwen3.5-4B at 51.1, with its clearest leads in tool use, coding agents and long-context retrieval. Post-training pairs 400B tokens of deep-thinking SFT with RL

Robot datasets have grown far slower than the models trained on them, mostly because collection stays locked to lab hardware. AXIS moves demonstration collection into a web browser and pushes everything expensive to backend GPUs. The result is 207 tasks and 50,129 verified Franka trajectories, and continual pretraining that lifts π0.5 from 83.9 to 88.8 on L

Mathematician Tristan Buckmaster says an OpenAI researcher pressured him after information about his AI-assisted progress on the Navier-Stokes equations allegedly reached the company. The researcher tried to remove his co-author because he works at Anthropic and threatened Buckmaster when he refused, according to Buckmaster's account. OpenAI then claimed its
