The audio script is ready; narration will appear after voice generation finishes.

  1. 01Anthropic (primary)

    Project Glasswing + “Claude Mythos Preview” (defensive vuln hunting)

    WHY IT ENTERED THE RADAR

    Anthropic claims an unreleased model can autonomously find/exploit thousands of high-severity vulns (OSes, browsers, Linux kernel chains). This shifts “AI security” from theoretical to operational—and compresses disclosure/exploit timelines.

  2. 02Anthropic / Claude Platform (primary)

    Claude Managed Agents (production agent runtime as a product)

    WHY IT ENTERED THE RADAR

    It’s an explicit bet that the agent harness + sandbox + tracing + long-running sessions is now the moat (not just model IQ). Also: multi-agent coordination “research preview”.

  3. 03Google (primary)

    Gemma 4 (open, agentic + big context + multimodal edge sizes)

    WHY IT ENTERED THE RADAR

    Google positions Gemma 4 as an agentic open model family (function calling, structured output, system instructions) with 128K/256K context and mobile-first “effective” 2B/4B variants.

  4. 04Z.ai (primary)

    GLM-5.1 (long-horizon agentic engineering emphasis)

    WHY IT ENTERED THE RADAR

    Focuses on not plateauing in long runs: examples include 600+ iteration optimization loops and multi-hour app-building. If real, it’s a concrete ‘agent stamina’ story.

  5. 05Project site (primary)

    I‑DLM: Introspective Diffusion Language Models (diffusion decoding that matches AR quality)

    WHY IT ENTERED THE RADAR

    Claims a diffusion LM that matches same-scale autoregressive quality while enabling parallel generation speedups (via introspective strided decoding + verification).

  6. 06Pisoni blog + GitHub (primary)

    HALO-Loss: a built-in “I don’t know” class for classifiers (OOD + calibration)

    WHY IT ENTERED THE RADAR

    A neat, explainable idea: swap dot-product logits for distance-ish logits (shift trick), add a zero-parameter abstain sink, get big gains in calibration + OOD detection without sacrificing ID accuracy (on CIFAR ResNet-18).

  7. 07Perplexity (primary)

    Perplexity Computer (multi-model orchestration as a long-running worker)

    WHY IT ENTERED THE RADAR

    Product framing: not “agent that does a task”, but a system that creates/executes workflows for hours/months, using multi-model routing (they claim Opus 4.6 core + other models for subtasks).
