Prime Intellect Releases Prime Agent: An Open-Source RLM Harness Where Sub-Agents Are Function Calls Inside Persistent IPython Kernel
Prime Intellect has open-sourced Prime Agent, a self-improving coding harness designed around two abstractions, the Recursive Language Model (RLM) and Continual Harness. Fixed tool schemas and context compaction force a model to work around its own scaffolding. Prime Agent replaces both with a persistent Python REPL and a rewritable harness. With Opus 5, it reports 95.5% on ARC-AGI-3, above the reported human expert baseline of 95.4%. It is MIT-licensed. Is it deployable Yes, today. Prime
Prime Agent is an open-source tool that helps AI language models complete complex coding tasks by giving them access to a persistent Python environment where they can write and execute code. Rather than using fixed tool schemas, the system treats sub-agents as function calls within this environment, allowing the model to create and manage its own skills and memory. The tool is designed for engineering organizations and AI research labs working on multi-hour tasks, and can run on various language models through subscriptions, APIs, or self-hosted options. In benchmarks, Prime Agent achieved above-human performance on a reasoning task, reaching 95.5% accuracy compared to a human expert baseline of 95.4%.

Runway’s Praxis-1 world action model for robotics is now available
Praxis-1 builds on Runway’s work as a founding member of the Cosmos Coalition, advancing open world models for physical AI. | Source: Runway Runway AI Inc. yesterday released Praxis-1, its world action model for robotics. The model is now available to developers with open weights under the Apache 2.0 license. Runway first announced Praxis-1 in September with launch partners including Noble Machines, Standard Bots, and Ultra. Since then, these companies have been running the model on their own ha
Google releases Gemini 4 Carbon with agent ‘swarm’ feature
Google is rolling out its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, to the general public after releasing it to a select group of "cybersecurity defenders" two weeks ago. Google claims Carbon is its "strongest model" yet, and capable of competing with the very best systems from Anthropic and OpenAI. Google says Gemini 4 Carbon "pushes the frontier even further" than Argon, referring to the company's other frontier model that launched only last month. The company said Argon will likely
Gemini 4 Carbon is now available
The latest version aims to deliver improved performance while reducing the computational resources and energy required for AI operations.
Google Launches Gemini Decisions API With Gemini Decision 1 at $0.10/M Tokens
Google has launched the Gemini Decisions API, powered by a new model, Gemini Decision 1 (gemini-decision-1). The Gemini Decisions API does not generate text. It scores up to 1,000 typed questions against one shared input and returns calibrated probabilities. For developers, this targets the small branching calls inside agents: routing, policy checks, tool selection and grading. Google prices it at $0.10 per 1M input tokens, with zero output tokens billed. TL;DR Size: Context is 262,144 t
