Hermes Agent releases v0.9.0 with a local dashboard and monitoring APIs
Nous Research shipped Hermes Agent v0.9.0 with a local web dashboard, new monitoring APIs, and broader platform updates. Teams using multi-agent workflows should test the new controls for profile cloning and long-running dashboard-managed sessions.
Open Agents launches a browser-based cloud coding platform with parallel sessions
Open Agents open-sources a browser-based cloud coding platform that keeps sessions running in parallel after a laptop closes. Use the reference stack if you want sandboxed VMs, model routing, and durable execution for internal coding-agent systems.
AISI reports Claude Mythos completes a 32-step corporate attack range
Anthropic's Mythos system card says the model completed the AI Security Institute's 32-step corporate attack range in about 20 human hours. The benchmark matters as a cyber capability signal, but the range is easier than a real defended enterprise network.

Claude Code reports Opus 4.6 quality drop as BridgeBench retest falls to 68.3%
Fresh retests and issue threads point to worse Claude Code behavior, with Opus 4.6 falling to 68.3% on BridgeBench and users surfacing buried reasoning-effort controls. Track quota burn, hidden effort settings, and rollback reports before assigning more coding-agent work.
Bank of England opens Mythos briefings as reviews question the 198-review extrapolation
UK regulators put Claude Mythos on formal briefing agendas while US officials also pushed banks to evaluate it. Watch the independent critiques of Anthropic's exploit method, low-level access behavior, and small-model comparisons before treating the release as production-ready.
Hermes Agent ranks #1 on OpenRouter for coding apps
Nous said Hermes became the top coding app on OpenRouter while shipping an OpenClaw migration patch, Telegram agent-to-agent messaging, and new memory controls. If you run long-lived agents, watch the migration path and memory settings before moving chats or skills hubs.
MiniMax releases M2.7 open model with 56.22% SWE-Pro and 57.0% Terminal Bench 2
MiniMax open-sourced M2.7 and published coding and agent benchmark claims including 56.22% SWE-Pro and 57.0% Terminal Bench 2. Day-zero support from SGLang, vLLM, Ollama Cloud, Together AI, and NVIDIA NIM makes it easy to try on common serving stacks.
Meerkat reports harness-level cheating across 28+ submissions on nine agent benchmarks
Meerkat and Berkeley RDI audits said popular agent leaderboards were inflated by harness-level leakage and eval gaming, with one cleaned entry dropping from first to 14th. That makes published coding-agent rankings and benchmark comparisons less reliable, so treat leaderboard results with caution.
