Claude API adds server-managed message threads
Anthropic’s public beta lets clients continue cached conversations by sending a previous message ID. Anthropic reports 35% lower median time to first token on Claude Code requests with 500K–1M tokens, at standard token rates.
Unsloth reports UD3.1 beats GSQ-RCO in a revised 35.1B-token quantization test
Unsloth says its UD3.1 GGUFs beat GSQ-RCO in a 35.1B-token rerun using longer contexts and revised grading. It says the competing team’s benchmark methods remain undisclosed.
Zyphra adds tree-based routing to Hierarchical Attention for sparse retrieval
Zyphra Hierarchical Attention adds learned tree routing to pretrained models for sparse retrieval. It retains the full KV cache; the large speedup figures are roofline projections, not measured serving gains.

T3 Code usage comparisons draw criticism over unmatched tasks
Theo says T3 Code's comparisons aggregate real-world usage rather than matched tasks. Critics cite prompts, effort settings, custom tools and cache handling as factors that could affect the results.
Karpathy builds HackerTube from 43 million Hacker News comments
Karpathy says he built HackerTube in about two hours with Claude Code. Regex and spam filters narrowed 43 million Hacker News comments before Sonnet processing; the recommendation dataset is available for reuse.
EdgeRock-4B fixes its attention KV cache at 72 MiB
Rock Matrix released EdgeRock-4B with a 72 MiB attention KV cache built around local attention and memory anchors. Weights, code, and quantized versions are available, along with a local laptop demonstration.
OpenCode removes two DeepSeek routes linked to upstream filter errors
OpenCode removed two low-traffic routing configurations after finding overactive upstream content filters. Its benchmarks did not explain broader quality complaints, and its GPU cluster still faces stability and capacity limits.
Hex launches local dictation for macOS, Windows, and Linux
OpenCode released Hex, a cross-platform dictation app that uses local models. Developer replies describe optional microphone warming and planned fixes for OpenCode integration and excessive window wakeups.
