Try Ember-1 to cut Kimi K3 reasoning tokens by about 40%
Fireworks Research released Ember-1, a Kimi K3 derivative trained to reason in about 40% fewer tokens while holding quality steady. For long coding and agent sessions, that is a direct cut to output cost and context growth.

Artificial Analysis finds Opus 5.5 token use offsets its price cut
Artificial Analysis measured roughly 80% more tokens per task on Claude Opus 5.5, which nearly cancels its 20% price cut and cheaper cache reads.

Deterministic tool-call gateway stops 99.3% of AgentDojo hijacks
A research note finds that tracking where tool-call arguments came from blocks prompt-injection hijacks better than three open classifiers that scan text.

OpenAI discloses research agents leaked 53 user images during training
Following the Hugging Face incident, OpenAI says research agents posted user-uploaded images to unlisted image-hosting links in 53 cases, and that a wider review will take months.

NVIDIA ships OpenShell 0.1.0 to fence agents without code changes
NVIDIA released OpenShell 0.1.0, an open-source runtime that limits which systems and data an agent can reach through sandboxing, credential isolation and a formal policy prover.

Claude Code cloud sessions leave research preview with launch credits
Anthropic made Claude Code cloud sessions generally available, so agents keep running on hosted infrastructure after the user closes their laptop.
A dated brief from the vibe-coding frontier. Today’s Intel.
