    Indian startup NeuroDX's 240M-parameter model Sphota slightly outperforms Liquid AI on about 11 benchmarks

    Indian startup NeuroDX claims that its 240M-parameter model Sphota scores an average of 52.4% on about 11 benchmarks, slightly above Liquid AI's 52.1%, and claims it uses 50 times less training data and is 4.5 times more memory-efficient. These results have not yet been verified by independent public evaluations, and the company is developing versions with 1 billion to 2 billion parameters, targeting release around December. NeuroDX will also be renamed Manaas AI, and the Sphota architecture will remain closed-source for the time being.

    App Review | Recent Apps Worth Watching: Local Code, Hoardware 3.x, Vimpo, Klick'r, Blo…

    In this installment of App Review, sspai introduces five apps: Local Code, a Mac local-first AI Agent tool, matches local models to device specifications (for example, a 16GB M4 MacBook Air can only choose Qwen 3.8 27B); local operation is free, while cloud models are charged separately. The Apple hardware collection archive Hoardware has been updated to 3.1, adding Hoardalytics statistical charts, asset tags, and the Hoardshelf display mode. The macOS video tool Vimpo integrates yt-dlp downloading, local Whisper recognition, and bilingual subtitle translation using large models from multiple vendors; it is free during the Beta period, and the official version is planned as a one-time purchase. There are also Klick'r, an Android tapping tool that supports screen content recognition, and Bloom, a plain-text note-taking app with native support for the org format.

    Marble Cognition raises $3.75M pre-seed to build AI coworkers that learn workflows by observation

    Marble Cognition has closed a $3.75M pre-seed round co-led by Heartcore and Seedcamp, with the funds to be used to scale inference, expand its engineering team, and enter the U.S. market. Its desktop app records employees' screens, clicks, and keystrokes in business software to generate structured process maps, which Marble Coworkers then execute end-to-end within the original tools, while steps requiring judgment or approval remain with humans. The company says that in a deployment at a U.S. financial services firm, per-case processing time fell 90%, and the team's first-month processing volume rose 50% without adding staff.

    Why AI agents need to confirm evidence before retrying

    When a response is lost and an AI agent cannot confirm whether an operation has taken effect, retrying directly may cause duplicate side effects such as duplicate refunds. The September 2026 preprint "Where Does Exactly-Once Live?" proposes the LIMBO benchmark, testing 25,930 episodes across nine models; among the 1,279 episodes in the main test that produced duplicate side effects, 90% of the agents still reported successful completion. The article argues for treating uncertain outcomes as a distinct run state, using idempotency keys and recording approved operations to avoid duplicate execution.

    Unitree Robot Dog A2 Wins Mount Tai Championship: 1 Gold and 2 Silvers at the First CMG World Robot Mount Tai Climbing Competition

    The A2 robot dog of Beijing Lingyi Technology Team, under Unitree Technology, competed in the first CMG World Robot Mount Tai Climbing Competition in fully autonomous mode, with an actual time of 41 minutes and 41 seconds (final result 43 minutes and 41 seconds, with a 2-minute penalty), winning the championship in the legged robot racing event. The A2 and B2 of Shanghai Gaoyi Technology Team won second place in the legged robot racing event and the load-bearing event, respectively. Due to time and resource constraints, Unitree officially only sent two quadruped robots, the A2 and B2, to compete, and did not send any humanoid robots; the widely followed G1 robot's withdrawal was due to developers entering the competition on their own.

    Marble Cognition has completed a $3.75 million pre-seed funding round led by Heartcore and Seedcamp, to launch Coworkers, an AI agent that can observe and learn how employees work. Its desktop app uses screenshots and records clicks and keystrokes to turn business processes scattered across emails and spreadsheets into structured process maps, which Coworkers then execute end-to-end within existing software stacks. After a U.S. financial services company used it to generate settlement proposals, case processing time was reduced by 90% and employee throughput increased by about 50%.

    Cloudera partners with Mistral AI to bring models to where the data lives

    At EVOLVE26, Cloudera announced a partnership with Mistral AI to bring Mistral's models into its data platform, letting AI run in the environment where the data resides rather than handing data over to external AI services. Cloudera Product Director Wim Stoop said that for European customers, Mistral's appeal lies in being a local French company offering a complete technology stack. He noted that the cost of running models at scale is the biggest challenge in current enterprise AI strategies, and that with public providers, the more you use, the higher the cost.

    Guardian investigation: NHS says 29 hospitals benefit from Palantir platform, but these hospitals say they do not use it or rarely use it

    Through more than 100 freedom of information requests, the Guardian found that the 29 hospital trusts publicly listed by NHS England as "realizing benefits" from Palantir's £330 million Federated Data Platform (FDP) said the system was not deployed or that they did not use any of its applications. NHS England said nearly 140 trusts have reported benefiting from the platform's tools, and explained that the benefit list includes organizations that only use the tools for back-end data analysis and submission; the UK Statistics Authority said it will incorporate the relevant data claims into its case handling. Chi Onwurah, chair of the UK Parliament's Science and Technology Committee, and the Health Select Committee called on the government to activate the 2027 contract break clause and to openly tender for a UK-based supplier.
