Meta FAIR and academic partners treat experiment selection—not idea generation—as the scarce resource, ranking candidate runs before any GPU hour is spent.

OpenAI says it has hit its "automated research intern" goal and publishes internal usage metrics showing agents already outworking humans inside the lab.
GitHub HydraFusion preview stops treating model choice as a sticky setting and instead compiles a per-request workflow across providers inside Copilot CLI.
Nous Research turns the painful VRAM-guesswork of local open-weights inference into a hardware-aware, one-click setup path inside MIT-licensed Hermes Desktop.

After days of silence, OpenAI’s Saturday X post reframes a German wiki takeover as a reporting-standards problem — not just another research curiosity.

A Micron-backed Insights brief argues inference has made memory bandwidth and data movement the binding constraint—and turns procurement into a system-design problem for executives.
