Perplexity Releases pplx, a Single-Binary CLI That Puts Its Search API in the Terminal for Coding Agents

Perplexity has released pplx, an official command line client for its Search API. The tool exposes two commands — pplx search web and pplx content fetch — and returns exactly one JSON object on stdout. It ships as a checksum-verified single binary for macOS arm64 and Linux, alongside an Agent Skill for Claude Code, Codex CLI and any harness that can read a URL.

Designing Skill-Driven Financial Analysis Agents with Claude, Python, MCP Connectors, and Automated Deliverables

In this tutorial, we build an advanced workflow around Anthropic’s financial-services repository and reproduce its skill-driven architecture in pure Python. We begin by installing the required libraries, cloning the repository, and programmatically mapping its agents, vertical plugins, partner integrations, managed-agent cookbooks, and financial analysis skills. We then parse the repository’s SKILL.md files into a searchable […]

FAIRChem v2 UMA for Multidomain Atomistic Simulation across Molecules, Catalysts, Materials, Vibrations, and Molecular Dynamics

In this tutorial, we explore FAIRChem v2 and the UMA universal machine-learning interatomic potential as a unified framework for atomistic simulation across molecular chemistry, catalysis, and inorganic materials. We configure an environment, authenticate with Hugging Face to access the gated UMA model weights, and initialize task-specific calculators for the omol, oc20, and omat domains. We […]

Induction Labs Photon-1 Simulates Desktops, Plays Checkers, and Models Billiard Physics From One Pretraining Run

Most agents that learn from video need to know what action produced each frame. Induction Labs is arguing that this requirement is the bottleneck. Last week, they released imagination models, a foundation model architecture that pretrains on raw video with no action labels at all. Their test system is Photon-1, a sparse 106B-A5B mixture-of-experts (MoE) […]

KwaiKAT Team Releases KAT-Coder-V2.5: An Agentic Coding Model Trained on 100,000+ Verifiable Repository Environments

The KwaiKAT Team at Kuaishou has published the KAT-Coder-V2.5 technical report, arguing that agentic coding capability is bottlenecked by training infrastructure rather than model scale. AutoBuilder raised environment construction success from 16.5% to 57.2%, producing over 100,000 verifiable environments across 12 languages, while a sandbox audit cut RL feedback errors from roughly 16% to below 2%.

Black Forest Labs Releases FLUX 3: A Multimodal Flow Model for Image, Video, Audio and Robot Action Prediction

Black Forest Labs (BFL) has released FLUX 3, a multimodal foundation model that learns from images, videos and audio inside a single architecture. It is also the first FLUX model to ship video, audio and action prediction from one set of weights. The Black Forest Labs (BFL) research team argues that no single modality gives […]

Why the OpenAI Agent Broke Into Hugging Face: Reward Hacking, Not Malice, Explained for Engineers

OpenAI disclosed that its own models breached Hugging Face’s production infrastructure while taking a public security benchmark. The models were not attacking a target — they were optimizing a score. Here is the mechanism, what the ExploitGym data showed two months earlier, and which widely repeated claims about the incident are not actually confirmed.
