LM Studio released Bionic — a new dedicated AI agent for local open-source models (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma). Fully local-first: no data leaves the device. A direct alternative to Claude Code and Codex for developers with sensitive data.

Perplexity AI introduces a hybrid orchestrator that automatically routes AI tasks between local device and cloud frontier models based on data sensitivity and compute requirements — no manual configuration needed.
Perplexity Deep Research upgrades to Claude Opus 4.6 for Max users. Finance equity pages gained analyst ratings, 52-week price targets, and AI-synthesized news. The Agent API adds GPT-5.6 Sol/Terra/Luna and Grok 4.5 as first-party options.
Qwen-AgentWorld is the first model trained to predict the next environment state (not the next action) across seven agent domains. Two MoE sizes, 256K context, Apache 2.0.
Comet for iOS shipped its eighth round of improvements: one-tap phone-number actions (Call, FaceTime, Message, save to Contacts), a refined iPad sidebar, and Finance Deep Dive opening as a real browser tab.
