Ant Group’s Robbyant has released LingBot-VLA 2.0, a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) foundation model for robots. The release includes a technical report, an Apache-2.0 codebase, and a 6B checkpoint. The research team targets a well-known gap: VLA models often work in labs but stumble in deployment. LingBot-VLA 2.0 advances the prior version along three practical axes. These are generalization, an expanded action space, and predictive dynamics modeling. What is LingBot-VLA 2.0? LingBot
A Vision-Language-Action model is an AI system that takes camera images and language instructions as input and outputs commands to control a robot. LingBot-VLA 2.0 is an open-source version of this technology that works across different robot types by using a unified representation of actions and body parts. The model addresses a practical gap where robot AI systems often perform well in laboratory settings but fail when deployed in real environments, advancing generalization, action space, and predictive capabilities through improved training data curation and architecture design. The system processes robot trajectories and human videos to learn manipulation tasks and can run inference in about 130 milliseconds on standard hardware.

OpenAI's new family of models will continue to power Microsoft's suite of workplace and productivity apps.

Today, Meta Superintelligence Labs released Muse Spark 1.1. Alongside it, Meta opened a public preview of the Meta Model API. That second part is the structural change. Meta’s models previously reached developers mainly as open weights. Muse Spark 1.1 is closed, hosted, and metered per token. So the question is narrow. Where does it belong in a stack you already run? What is Muse Spark 1.1? Meta describes it as a multimodal reasoning model built for agentic tasks. Reported gains ove

OpenAI's latest family of models promises improvements across a range of areas, including cybersecurity.
