NVIDIA and Korea's science ministry widened their sovereign AI work: NVLink Fusion for Korean NPUs, Dynamo for Korean models, physical AI at Samsung, Kakao and LG, and OpenShell for agents.
NVIDIA named planned investments in four Korean startups — Point2, Motif, RLWRLD and Upstage — at the MSIT partnership forum on the opening day of AI Day Seoul.
NVIDIA says its Dynamo recipes for four Korean open models on B200 GPUs give up to 2x out of the box. The public recipe docs publish layouts and tok/s numbers, but no 2x baseline comparison.
stack-diagram is an agent skill that builds logo-accurate architecture diagrams from a one-sentence stack description, with light and dark themes and gallery sharing.
Ginux is a research prototype kernel from eleven days of human-directed agentic engineering; it runs some Linux userspace but lacks audits, broad hardware support, and production claims.
HEELO wraps tools and code as agent-native primitives with resident LLMs, composes per-task harness graphs, and reports much higher success on Terminal-Bench and heelo.dev via MCP.
HA-MCP is Home Assistant's full-configuration MCP server with 87 tools for automations, dashboards, and backups, installable via HACS or the HA 2026.11 Marketplace.
Seedream 5.5 targets professional image workflows with stable multi-turn editing, RGBA output, and better text rendering, now rolling out on Jimeng, Doubao, and Volcano Engine.
Zyppy's opted-out experiment suggests Google AI search features drove about a fifth of their clicks, but Google's help doc says exclusion does not change normal ranking and training needs Google-Extended.
P²-MOPD trains mixing coefficients and student weights together so expert parameters guide on-policy distillation, improving worst-domain recovery on Qwen3 students.
samir-vllm is a MIT-licensed C++/CUDA teaching engine for Llama 3.2 1B inference with paged KV cache and batching, bundled with handwritten notes that stay all-rights-reserved.
Berkeley and NVIDIA argue coding agents can write readable industrial robot programs, easing data scaling limits imitation learning hit in factories.
Tesla grew Austin Robotaxi to about 435 square miles on Nov 9, 2026; 443 in headlines usually means square kilometers from an earlier expansion, not miles today.
LongBanana scores long-context multi-reference image synthesis with 90 expert tasks, graph-grounded checklists, and an RPR agent harness; code and data live at long-banana.com.
LowRAM treats keys and values differently at test time, compressing values via key predictors and keys via low-rank bases for composable KV savings on frozen models.
SAM 3 is Meta open model that masks all instances of a text-described concept in images or video; SAM 3.1 adds faster multi-object video tracking on one GPU.
Each high-detail image can cost hundreds or thousands of vision tokens, so multimodal prompts must budget tiles alongside text, tools and chat history.
Semantic caching adds an embedding similarity tier on top of exact prompt hashes so paraphrases reuse answers when similarity clears a logged threshold.
A2A is the open Agent2Agent protocol for cross-vendor agent tasks; MCP still carries tools and context to a single model.
