Nous Research has released Hermes Agent v0.8, the most advanced open-source AI agent to date. The agent creates skills from experience, improves them during use, and builds a deepening model of its user across sessions — all MIT licensed and self-hostable.
Google has released Gemma 4, a family of four open-source multimodal models from 2.3B to 31B parameters under the Apache 2.0 license. The 31B Dense variant ranks #3 globally among open models on the Arena AI leaderboard.
Midjourney has launched V8 Alpha at alpha.midjourney.com — the first preview of their next-generation image model. Key improvements: faster generation, dramatically better text rendering inside images, and personalization via moodboards and style references.
Cursor has released Cursor 3, a major product refresh centered on agent-based coding. The new Agents Window lets developers manage parallel agents across local machines, worktrees, SSH, and cloud — without interrupting the main editor.
