Tripo AI Releases Real-Time Generative Renderer EdenLive and Open-Sources It

Tripo AI has launched EdenLive, a real-time generative renderer dedicated to interactive scenes, as part of its interactive environment world model Project Eden, and it is now open-sourced to developers. EdenLive decouples scene evolution logic from visual rendering; rendering can be started with just a 2D/3D scene or reference video, a target first frame, and text instructions, and it supports both 480p and 720p resolutions; the 5-billion-parameter version can achieve real-time generation at over 24 frames per second at 720p on a single consumer-grade RTX 5090. The open-source release includes the 5-billion and 14-billion parameter model weights, real-time video generation code, the EdenGolem v0.1 skill for converting text into simple games, and a complete prompt-to-game front-end toolchain; the code is released on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license, and the weights are available on Hugging Face.

Xiaomi Unveils New-Generation Bionic Hand: 21 Degrees of Freedom Derived from 1,827 Factory SOPs

Xiaomi has announced core information about its new-generation bionic hand, including 21 degrees of freedom, hybrid drive with 26 motors, and 1,500-point full-palm tactile sensing. The 21 degrees of freedom come from motion-capture data of 1,827 of the 2,579 standard operating procedures at Xiaomi's automobile factory; simulations show that the average stable grasp success rate at the 17-to-21 degrees-of-freedom tier is 15% to 38% higher than at the 6-to-15 tier, with gains slowing beyond 23. The palm primarily uses tendon-driven actuation plus 5 direct-drive degrees of freedom, weighs 324 grams, and can consume over 100W per hand under harsh operating conditions; there is currently no timeline for mass production, cost, or external supply.

GitHub releases Copilot Fusion model selection and orchestration system

GitHub released Copilot Fusion at the Universe conference; the system automatically selects and orchestrates the models used for coding tasks, and it is now generally available. GitHub says Fusion Max scores 60 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, less than 2 points behind Claude Code using Opus 5.5 Max, while its average API cost is about half of the latter and its time per task is about 40% lower. Developers only need to choose among three investment levels—Fusion Standard, High, and Max—and enterprise administrators can restrict which models are available and set whether it is the default.

Google Opens Android Development Tools to Third-Party Agents Such as Claude Code and Codex

At the Android Dev Summit, Google announced that Android Studio and the Android CLI are open to third-party coding agents. Bring Your Own Agent now supports more than 40 agents that follow the Agent Client Protocol, including Claude Agent, Codex, and Google's own Antigravity, and has become stable in Android Studio Rabbit 2. The new android preview command lets agents render Jetpack Compose previews in the terminal; Google says it completes UI tasks 77% faster and reduces token usage by up to three times, but did not explain how this was measured. Meanwhile, android device remote lets agents access physical devices in Google's lab. In the demo, Claude Code used LeakCanary to troubleshoot a memory leak and then fixed and retested it on its own; Google says such investigations are nearly twice as fast and use up to 25% fewer tokens. Google also launched Android Bench 2.0 to evaluate how models and agents perform on complex Android tasks.

Anthropic discloses Claude Duet's priority scoring and independent intent verification mechanisms

Anthropic told The New Stack that Claude Duet is powered by Claude Opus 5.5, can monitor connected applications and handle tasks in the background, and that the company uses an internal scorer to evaluate offline whether its task priority judgments are correct. Anthropic said urgency itself is a subjective judgment, that building evaluations for urgency is imperfect but very helpful, and acknowledged that Duet may misread conversations or misjudge urgency. When performing actions, Duet has a separate set of automated checks extended from the Claude Code auto mode classifier, running independently of the model executing the task, to determine whether actions match user intent; official materials do not state how reliably these checks block out-of-bounds actions, and during the research preview users cannot view or take over each step of its operations in the cloud browser.

Microsoft Opens Copilot Agent Harness Public Preview via Foundry

Microsoft has opened the GitHub Copilot agent harness public preview through the Foundry Agent Service in Microsoft Foundry, offering built-in sandboxes, reusable skills, MCP integration, and sub-agent support; the same harness already supports Copilot Code, Copilot Studio, GitHub Copilot, CLI, and VS Code. When creating a prompt agent, this harness must be selected and cannot be changed afterward; CPU, memory, and idle duration are controlled by Microsoft, and bring-your-own-model is not supported. The service is free until December 1, 2026, after which it is billed at $0.0994 per vCPU hour and $0.0118 per GiB hour, with model inference and some tools billed separately.

How macOS Redesigned Interface Controls for the New MacBook Pro's Touchscreen

Apple released the new MacBook Pro with a PROLED XDR display, its first Mac to support touch, and macOS has adjusted interface controls for finger input. When a finger moves over a menu bar item, that item enlarges; the window's red-yellow-green buttons also grow larger when touched, and swiping up from the bottom of the screen brings up the hidden Dock. The former notch area has been changed to the Dynamic Island, which hosts Spotlight, Live Activities, and Siri AI, and can be pulled down to expand into a floating window. Apple says macOS automatically converts touch into clicks, and many existing apps can be used with touch without developer updates. The 14-inch model starts at $2,899, and the 16-inch at $3,399, with official sales beginning on November 6.

Opera launches WebAI local model preview in Opera One

Opera has begun supporting the WebAI standard in Opera One as an optional preview, allowing websites and browser extensions to call AI models running locally in the browser for text generation and content classification. The preview supports 64-bit Windows PCs with Intel or AMD processors and Apple silicon Macs; Windows on Arm is not yet supported. Models are downloaded only after the user enables them, and permissions can be granted on a per-site basis. Opera says it already supports Google Gemma and, on compatible Macs, Apple's on-device foundation models, with models optimized for different devices to be added later.

Google opens Android Studio to third-party integration at Android Dev Summit…

At the Android Dev Summit, Google launched the Bring Your Own Agent feature for Android Studio Rabbit 2. Through the open Agent Client Protocol, developers can run more than 40 coding agents simultaneously within the IDE, including Claude Agent, Codex, and Google Antigravity, with direct access to project structure, the emulator, and Logcat. Google says that in internal tests, after agents rendered Compose previews in the terminal, they completed UI tasks 77% faster and cut token usage to as little as one-third; in an A/B test using Claude Opus 5.5, the CLI with built-in LeakCanary found and fixed memory leaks nearly twice as fast, with about 25% fewer tokens. On the on-device side, Google added an Agentic API alpha powered by Gemini Nano 4 to ML Kit, and launched the MCP-based AppFunctions API beta and the Agent-to-UI interface; it also partnered with XREAL to release the Android XR smart glasses XREAL AURA, priced at $1,099 and shipping in mid-November.

PyTorch 2.15 Released: Rewritten NCCL Backend Becomes Default, Apple Silicon Gains FP8 Support

The PyTorch Foundation has released PyTorch 2.15.

This version also adds float8_e4m3fn and _scaled_mm support for Apple Silicon, and the new grouped_mm improves MoE decoding throughput by 1.32–1.34x on M3 Ultra. The default wheel is upgraded to CUDA 13.2, while a CUDA 13.4 wheel is also provided with experimental support for NVIDIA Rubin GPUs; a ROCm 10.0 wheel is newly added, and Python 3.10 and macOS 14 are no longer supported.
