Thinking Machines Lab ships Inkling 2 Small for agentic coding and visual work
Inkling 2 Small is a 594B-parameter MoE model with 17B active parameters, pitched for long-horizon coding, visual tasks, and agents. The practical hook is availability on Tinker for both inference and fine-tuning, not just a leaderboard claim.

Tencent’s DSpine attacks speculative decoding waste with adjacent causal injection
DSpine is a five-layer draft model for Qwen3.8-27B that passes predicted predecessor features between adjacent positions during speculative decoding. The supplied evaluations claim longer accepted drafts than DFlash2 and 2.7x–3.8x agent replay speedups over autoregressive decoding on GPU.
Tools & repos
3 selecteddsx-ai-factory/nvke
NVKE is a Go management plane for running GPU Kubernetes on bare metal. Useful signal if your bottleneck is cluster operations, not another model wrapper.
meta/astryx
Astryx is Meta’s open source, agent-ready design system. The builder angle is the CLI and MCP path: give agents component docs and guardrails instead of letting them hallucinate UI props.
NoMac
NoMac rents an Apple silicon Mac to coding agents by the minute. It targets iOS builders who need Xcode, simulator visibility, and TestFlight/App Store shipping without a persistent Mac subscription.
