  • Anthropic calls ban on open-weight models with strict rules — Anthropic is pushing for a ban on open-weight AI models and outlining mandatory requirements for them. The proposal is described as likely unattainable, casting doubt on its enforceability. Source-reddit
  • Anthropic outlines stance on open-weights models — Anthropic has published its official position on open-weights models, directing readers to a full explanation on anthropic.com. The post also highlights Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei discussing the topic. Source-twitter
  • Kimi K3 Joins Cursor, Near-Frontier CursorBench Score — Kimi K3 has been integrated into Cursor, scoring near the frontier on CursorBench. It is available for US-based inference via partners Fireworks, Together, and Baseten, with Zero Data Retention supported. Source-twitter
  • DataPrep-Bench: Benchmarking LLMs as Data Preparators — DataPrep-Bench introduces a unified benchmark to evaluate how well LLMs, agents, and data-centric workflows prepare training data end to end. It frames data preparation as two complementary capabilities: data construction (transforming raw sources into supervised data) and data quality evaluation (predicting the training value of candidate datasets before downstream use). The effort from Hugging Face aims to standardize assessment of data prep pipelines. Source-huggingface
  • Ninfer hits 700t/s with Qwen-3.6 on RTX5090 — An open-source project called Ninfer demonstrates extremely fast LLM inference on Windows using a custom RTX5090 build, achieving around 550-720 t/s with Qwen-3.6 35B and No Thinking mode. The developer claims speeds rival Cerebras and notes the Linux-first repo Neroued/ninfer can be built for Windows; supported models are Qwen-3.6 27B and 35B. Source-reddit
