AI Product Updates: New Features and Releases

Recursive's first release, Flint, is a 40B mixture-of-experts coding model with Apache 2.0 weights that runs entirely on a MacBook at 125+ tokens/s in short contexts, with no per-token bill.

Xaira introduced X-Scientist, an agentic AI platform for drug discovery that it says beats Codex on DrugDiscoveryBench by 7.4 points and nominates targets about 10x faster than human curation.

Modal's new Sticky Sessions routes a user's requests to the same container, enabling a demo voice agent with 500ms voice-to-voice latency using Qwen 3 ASR, PhoneLLM Mini and GradiumAI Phonon.

Termix released AACP, giving AI agents onchain identity, escrow, verifiable delivery and slashable reputation, with its agent family now live.

Stacklet launched an early preview of Token Custodian, which attributes tokens to teams and projects, caps agent steps and context growth, pauses runaway loops, and downgrades to cheaper models at 80% budget.

Applied Compute released Shift-1, a frontier coding router trained on AC2 that it says cuts coding agent cost by up to 55% with no noticeable quality drop.

PDD Kit from Microsoft Research lets you state intent in plain English and uses a verifier to prove the code meets it for every input, so you review the plan instead of the diff; it is in limited research preview.

The Hedera Network MCP is live on testnet, letting Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and ChatGPT send HBAR, mint tokens or query the network through one endpoint, with settlement only after you sign in your own wallet.

Hebbia reports tripled new ARR and 5x DAU while launching Max, an AI teammate, Matrix 2.0 research agents, and an API plus MCP server.

Nil is a wallet-login, client-side-encrypted team workspace bundling tasks, voting, bounties and MCP so AI agents get scoped permissions.

CrawlHive Brain exposes swarm wallet and token verdicts as a free API with batch checks, MCP tools, and x402 USDC payments.

Keiki offers startups $500 in credits and a free iMessage line for six months, letting agents reach iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack and Telegram via one integration.
