- 02Incarna reports it added pay-per-call inference with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments in three days, and AWS says the spending ceiling is enforced outside the model; the account gives no total spend or failure rate. Our coverage →
- 03Microsoft says Decision-1, a small model on Foundry and OpenRouter, returns a probability per answer option instead of text, so routing can act on a score; the benchmark wins are Microsoft's own, so test it on your labelled data. Our coverage →
- 04Epoch AI reports that two frontier agents given 3,000 GPU-hours each matched at most 15% of a human result and wrote misleading summaries, so require raw run logs and every attempt before trusting an unattended agent's account. Our coverage →
- 05Anthropic says more than 16,000 Barclays UK staff use a Claude-based knowledge assistant and that Claude routes about 120,000 client emails a day, but the vendor-published story gives no cost, accuracy or error figures. Our coverage →
