Can AI agents reliably navigate the web? Does the choice of agent scaffold affect web browsing ability? To answer these questions, we added Online Mind2Web, a web browsing benchmark, to the Holistic Agent Leaderboard (HAL). We evaluated 9 models (including GPT-5 and Sonnet 4) https://x.com/sayashk/status/1963343022252315112
We can finally share UI-TARS-2🥳🥳 — a native GUI agent trained with multi-turn agent RL ⚡️⚡️Key highlights (all-in-one model!): 💻Computer Use: 47.5 OSWorld · 50.6 WindowsAgentArena 📱Phone Use: 73.3 AndroidWorld 🛜Browser Use: 88.2% Online-Mind2Web 🎮Gameplay: ~60% human https://x.com/TsingYoga/status/1963629621326614940
We’ve developed Claude for Chrome, where Claude works directly in your browser and takes actions on your behalf. We’re releasing it at first as a research preview to 1,000 users, so we can gather real-world insights on how it’s used. https://x.com/AnthropicAI/status/1960417002469908903
🚨 Apple just released FastVLM on Hugging Face – 0.5, 1.5 and 7B real-time VLMs with WebGPU support 🤯 > 85x faster and 3.4x smaller than comparable sized VLMs > 7.9x faster TTFT for larger models > designed to output fewer output tokens and reduce encoding time for high https://x.com/reach_vb/status/1961471154197053769
And FastVLM was released by Apple today! 🚀 All about on-device use. Model sizes: 0.5B, 1.5B, 7B. Available in MLX and Core ML. Vision encoder designed to output fewer tokens and reduce encoding time. Which means much faster time-to-first-token.”” / X https://x.com/pcuenq/status/1961464859465269757
Holy crap! That is some fast video captioning — all happening locally in your browser 🤯 This is the aptly named FastVLM by Apple; available on HF: https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/1962545148136444380
NEW: Apple releases FastVLM and MobileCLIP2 on Hugging Face! 🤗 The models are up to 85x faster and 3.4x smaller than previous work, enabling real-time VLM applications! 🤯 It can even do live video captioning 100% locally in your browser (zero install). Huge for accessibility! https://x.com/xenovacom/status/1961454543503344036

We’re officially a YOUnicorn! Excited to share that @youdotcom just raised $100M Series C at a $1.5B valuation, led by @CoxEnterprises We’ve been heads down building the search infrastructure for the AI and agent future. Soon there will be more AI agents using the web than humans, but today’s search wasn’t built for this. Agents need deep, contextual information from both public web and internal private data to make real decisions. Our web search API delivers the most up-to-date, accurate, and fastest search results for LLMs and agents. Real benchmarks show we consistently outperform the competition on accuracy and speed while staying cost-effective.https://x.com/RichardSocher/status/1963277700711461241
