On 2026-11-05 Boson AI (the team of Mu Li and Alex Smola) released a research preview of Higgs Realtime Duplex: a 45B MoE front model that slices voice, video, and tool results into 160 ms chunks so it can listen, watch, speak, and render its own face at once, while thinking, calling tools, or delegating hard questions to a larger backend model without pausing. Vendor-reported scores include Big Bench Audio 98.9, tau-Voice 69.8, and Full-Duplex-Bench v1.5 75.5. The API is waitlist-only for now; the earlier Higgs Realtime is available today.

On 2026-11-06, Physical Superintelligence (PSI, @psipbc) said its internal research system, running non-public Anthropic model instances, produced a complete proof of the Aaronson–Ambainis conjecture (open since 2008) on day three, accepted by Lean, then improved the result twice. The research page and Lean 4 formalization repo are public. Vendor wording; no journal peer review yet; the README still asks humans to check that the formal statement matches the printed conjecture.

On 2026-11-06, Anthropic Claude Duet co-creator and lead David Sutton (@davidsuttonca) and PM lead Karan Ahuja (@ahuja_karan) posted on X that Claude Duet now connects to Claude Code sessions: from a phone you can check what is running, approve changes, and send updates for sessions on your computer or in the cloud. Ahuja also notes Projects plus continuing Claude chats and memory. First-hand product-lead update, not an @AnthropicAI blog post; Duet remains a US Pro/Max/Ultra research-preview waitlist.

On 2026-11-04, Forever Security researcher Gal Weizman published ThisBash: a browser extension that can script claude.ai can abuse the still-reachable Claude Dispatch interface to send instructions as the signed-in user, auto-click Allow, and run code on Claude Desktop—including another machine paired to the same account. Anthropic validated the report in May and said Dispatch would retire, but the help page still lets existing users keep it.

On 2026-11-06, Voyager/vork author Ravi Parikh (@ravisparikh; GitHub swag) posted on X announcing vork: a headless 3D/VFX engine for AI agents (Rust + Slang, Vulkan/Metal). Official docs say getting-started help is about 2,500 tokens; a million uniquely steered birds rendered in about 97 seconds on one NVIDIA L4. Research-preview source is at github.com/voyager-so/vork and free during preview. First-hand author announcement, not a big-lab product line.

On 2026-11-06 Nous Research released Arete-27B, an ~52.8M-token SFT of Alibaba Qwen3.8-27B aimed at Western-aligned answers. On Nous's 803-prompt seven-category eval, vendor figures show propaganda answers ~22% to ~1% and fact mean ~2.32 to ~2.98/5; Hermes Bench ~65.60% vs base ~65.77%. Weights, eval, and data are public.

On 2026-11-06, Google DeepMind (@GoogleDeepMind) and VP Science Pushmeet Kohli published research: under human supervision, AI agents found two weaknesses in legacy 1024-bit RSA—signature padding adds no extra protection once an attacker controls about half the signed block (sandbox replay ~3.5× less CPU than prior), and a batch-factoring algorithm cuts average cost per additional same-size key by about 30×. Official caveat: modern 2048-bit and larger protocols remain unaffected.

On 2026-11-05, Hugging Face Harness Optimization researcher Joël Niklaus (@joelniklaus) released the Harness Leaderboard: same model, provider, and reasoning effort with only the harness swapped, covering GLM-5.3-Flash, DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, and Flint on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and DeepSWE—28,849 trials and about $4,746 of inference. Author-reported averages: mini-swe-agent ~51.4% resolve rate; Pi ~49.4% at about $0.29 per solved task. This is an individual research leaderboard, not a Hugging Face company product announcement.

On 2026-11-05 Planet Labs announced the Planet AI App is generally available: a map-based chat UI to search a 10+ year, 3,000+ layer daily satellite archive with natural-language place finding, change-over-time views, and Deep Research agents. Entry point: ai.planet.com.

On 2026-11-05 World Labs released research preview Frameboy: a highly optimized Atlas variant streamed from cloud GPUs to the browser at up to ~15 fps (vendor claim) with live camera control. A public demo and a Viewfinder closed-beta overlay shipped together; CEO Fei-Fei Li amplified “Real time Atlas” on X.

On 2026-11-05 Nous Research released Hermes Agent v0.23.0 (The Hearth). Your gateway can serve the full Desktop in a browser; CLI/TUI/Desktop/editors/bots/cron share one session authority; the plugin catalog grew from ~600 to 1,050+; plus conversation rewind, inline terminal images, and paid-MCP spend limits. Official: ~1,950 merged PRs and 666 contributors.

On November 5 Perplexity Developers (@perplexitydevs) said every Agent API effort level now costs less per query with equal or better research quality, and added an ultra tier for broad long-running research. Vendor figures: medium rose from ~55% to ~77% on BrowseComp/DSQA with nearly 90% lower cost; xhigh held ~76.5% WANDR at ~25% of August 2026 cost; ultra runs three parallel researchers plus a consolidator at ~85.9% WANDR and about $21.71/task.

On November 5 Julius Research CEO rahul (@0interestrates; Julius AI) released DeepFinance: 21 ultra long-horizon PE/IB tasks built from anonymized real deal data rooms (~20–30 human hours each, mean ~27.1h; ~84 rubric criteria). Official leaderboard: Opus 5.5 (max) ~54.8%, Sonnet 5.5 ~54.6%, GPT-6 Astra ~54.2%. Focus is auditable trajectories, not final-number checks alone.
