UI-TARS-2 Technical Report Advancing GUI Agent with Multi-Turn Reinforcement Learning https://x.com/_akhaliq/status/1963229296236937443
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

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

A really useful prompt for writing: “”review this for accuracy, look up any facts you may want to challenge or explore.”” Even if not perfect, it is a good sanity check. Works well with Claude 4.1, GPT-5 Thinking, and Grok 4. Weirdly, Gemini 2.5 Pro often won’t do web searches. https://x.com/emollick/status/1961257429846691881
This is disappointing. Purposefully underselling what models can do is a really bad idea. It is possible to point out that AI is flawed without saying it can’t do math or count – it just isn’t true. People need to be realistic about capabilities of models to make good decisions.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1963287621377167732
This chart is being horribly misinterpreted. This is not where the training data of AI comes from, it is a study done by a SEO firm that claims to show how often sites come up at least once in THE WEB SEARCH FUNCTION of certain AI agents when they do a web search for more info. https://x.com/emollick/status/1962678752887914918
