• Agentic IDEs: Google’s Antigravity Sandbox introduced a "Secure Mode" using kernel-level isolation for agent actions. Meanwhile, Cursor launched "Skills" (via SKILL.md files), enabling agents to learn domain-specific procedural workflows.
• Devin & V0 Updates: Cognition launched a new AI code review tool for GitHub, while V0 has officially opened its waitlist for its next-gen front-end development platform.
• OpenAI's Codex Loop: OpenAI released a deep dive into its "Codex Agent Loop," detailing how its CLI orchestrates the interaction between users, models, and local tools.

🧠 Frontier Models & Research

• Baidu Ernie 5.0 Released: Baidu officially launched its flagship 2.4T parameter model. Using a "natively full-modal" architecture, it processes text, images, audio, and video within a single unified framework. It currently ranks #1 among Chinese models on LMArena, rivaling GPT-5.1.
• Agentic Desktop Power: Anthropic launched "Cowork," an agentic feature for Enterprise plans that allows Claude to autonomously manage local files and applications directly on macOS.
• Local Image & Video: Ollama now supports local image generation (starting with FLUX.2 [klein] on macOS), while Grok Imagine expanded its video generation capabilities to 10-second clips.
• Voice & Audio Breakthroughs: Alibaba open-sourced Qwen3-TTS, featuring ultra-low 97ms latency and 3-second voice cloning.
• Research Integrity: GPTZero identified over 100 AI-generated hallucinations in accepted papers for NeurIPS 2025, sparking a debate on academic rigor.

📱 Consumer & Enterprise AI
