Building a VideoAgent-Style Multi-Agent System: Intent Parsing, Graph Planning, and Tool Routing for Video Editing Tasks

In this tutorial, we reconstruct the VideoAgent workflow as a runnable, API-key-free multi-agent pipeline. We build an intent parser, an agent library, a tool router, a graph planner, and a textual-gradient optimizer that repairs the execution graph. We wire these planning components to FFmpeg, Whisper transcription, scene detection, keyframe sampling, captioning, cross-modal indexing, and beat-synced editing. By the end, we have a system that answers questions about a video, summarizes it, and produces edited artifacts from natural-language instructions.

Skyfall AI Releases MORPHEUS: A Persistent Enterprise Simulation Benchmark That Makes Continual Reinforcement Learning Necessary Under Structured Non-Stationarity

MORPHEUS from Skyfall AI is a persistent enterprise simulation platform for continual reinforcement learning. It runs worlds that never reset, using parameterisable regime shifts and a six-metric evaluation protocol. Across the platform, PPO, HER, EWC, and LCM all remain far below the theoretical upper bound.

The 6 wildest claims in Apple’s lawsuit against OpenAI

When Apple employees interviewed for jobs at OpenAI, the AI startup’s hardware head allegedly asked them to show up with something unusual: components they were working on and unreleased product samples. That’s according to a blockbuster lawsuit filed by Apple, which accuses OpenAI of stealing confidential documents, spying on hardware prototypes, and tricking one of […]

Siri AI is already changing how I use my iPhone

iOS 27 escaped the developer world today with the launch of the first public beta. I’ve been testing the new operating system since early June, looking for quirks and seeing if it can live up to the hype Apple promised in the keynote. This year’s iOS upgrades are what one might call a Snow Leopard […]

Prime Intellect Releases Verifiers v1: Composable Tasksets, Harnesses, and Runtimes for Agentic RL Training and Evaluations

Prime Intellect launched verifiers 0.2.0, previewing a rewritten “v1” core under the verifiers.v1 namespace. It splits an environment into a taskset (what), a harness (how), and a runtime (where), with an interception server that proxies requests and records training-ready traces. Any taskset runs under any compatible harness, with full prime-rl training support at launch.

Stanford Researchers Introduce TRACE: A Capability-Targeted Agentic Training System That Turns Recurrent Agent Failures Into Synthetic RL Environment

Agentic LLMs keep failing the same way because they lack specific, reusable capabilities. Stanford’s TRACE diagnoses those gaps from an agent’s own trajectories, synthesizes one verifiable training environment per capability, trains a LoRA adapter for each, and routes tokens across experts—improving τ²-Bench by +15.3 points and reaching 73.2% Pass@1 on SWE-bench Verified.

Guide to Loop Engineering: How ‘autoresearch’ and ‘Bilevel Autoresearch’ Turn AI Agents Into Autonomous Machine Learning ML Research Loops

Most people still use AI like a 2015 search box. You type, you read, you type again. A newer pattern replaces that manual back-and-forth with a loop. This guide explains loop engineering using two verified artifacts. The sources are Andrej Karpathy’s autoresearch repository and the Bilevel Autoresearch paper. The framing follows a write-up by @0xCodila. […]
