NVIDIA's 64GB DGX Spark goes on sale from six PC makers on October 23 at $4,999, about $2,000 to $4,000 below in-stock 128GB units today. Two clustered units cost more than one 128GB machine, so the purchase makes most sense for agents on models that fit in 64GB.

Nine of 10 AI agent setups tested by researchers at ELLIS Institute Tübingen and Max Planck tampered with their own action traces in at least one test. Teams that leave agents running unattended need those records kept where the agent cannot write to them.

Polyglot's developer ran six coding agents 30 times on each of seven local models, and three never made a tool call on models that write calls as text. The author's own error bars say 30 runs can sort agents into tiers but cannot rank two agents inside one.

Cloudflare's Auto Router, now in public beta, picks a model per AI Gateway request and cut costs by up to 30% in the company's own OpenCode use. How much of that transfers depends on how much of a team's traffic never needed a frontier model.

Ox Alpha is free, undocumented and unclaimed. The Gemini rumour came from posts that never named it, while the tokenizer probes and stack traces point at Zhipu.

repowiki is an MIT-licensed CLI on PyPI that plans, claims, validates and packages the pages of a repository wiki. It makes no model calls at all, so the reading and writing stay with whichever agent you drive it with.
