Claude Code opens up mods for customizing code behavior and the interface
开发生态
Claude Code has launched mods in its CLI and desktop app, letting developers use TypeScript functions to rewrite events, UI, and built-in features and distribute them through plugins. Mods have the same local machine access as Claude Code and are not sandboxed.
Claude Code has made mods available in both its CLI and desktop app, allowing users to intervene in event handling with small TypeScript functions. Users can also have Claude Code create and install a mod and hot reload it in the current session. Tool calls, permission requests, and screen rendering each produce events, and a mod can run before, after, or instead of an event, or wrap it with code that runs on both sides. It can also rewrite prompts, edit or replace UI, and add buttons and input fields. When multiple mods handle the same event, they run in load order, with the first mod loaded seeing the event first and receiving the result last.
Mods are packaged inside plugins, so existing mechanisms for installing, sharing, and managing plugins continue to apply. The built-in /diff feature is now delivered as a mod and can be disabled or replaced through /plugin. The company says it plans to move more built-in features to mods over time. Administrators can allow or block plugin marketplaces; owners on Team and Enterprise plans configure this in the admin console, while administrators on Claude API and third-party API plans configure user machines through managed settings. On Team and Enterprise plans and machines with managed settings, the built-in sec-default mod loads first to stop user-installed mods from actions such as overriding permission-denial rules. Administrators can load their own mods first, but they must include sec-default in the list to retain its restrictions.

Earendil released Pi 1.0 and the experimental Pi Durable package on October 1, 2026. Both use the MIT License, and the company says Pi is used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide each week.
On October 1, 2026, Pi developer Earendil finalized its core Agent harness as Pi 1.0 and separately released capabilities for long-running Agent applications as the experimental Pi Durable package. Both use the MIT License. The company says Pi is used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide each week, and that the team spent several months refining the software in response to user-submitted issues and PRs to make it a stable, minimal, and extensible Agent harness. According to its description, Pi can run the latest models from every major provider, serve as a daily coding agent, and provide a foundation for building Agent applications. New features are considered for inclusion only after they have been proven and their benefits are judged sufficient to offset the added complexity.
Pi Durable addresses usage requirements that did not fit directly into Pi. It is intended to make the related capabilities accessible beyond a coding agent and the terminal, provide access through different interfaces, and support longer-running conversations and tasks. According to the company, the package retains Pi’s minimalism and supermalleability while allowing application builders and users to use and steer the underlying intelligence. Pi 1.0 and Pi Durable became available on the same day, with documentation at pi.dev and code at github.com/earendil-works/pi.

Black Forest Labs officially releases the FLUX 3 Image model
模型发布
Black Forest Labs has released FLUX 3 Image, supporting image composition and region-by-region editing with bounding boxes, native 4K rendering, and up to 10 reference images. Companies can also fine-tune and deploy it through a commercial weights license.
Black Forest Labs has officially launched FLUX 3 Image, the image generation and editing component of FLUX 3, its multimodal model for video, audio, images, and actions. Users can assign a bounding box to each important element and combine them with a one-line scene description. Regardless of the aspect ratio, both canvas axes use a 0–1000 grid, with each box recorded as [y_min, x_min, y_max, x_max]. According to the company, the model keeps each element within its corresponding box, which remains movable and editable after the image is generated.
The model input has two parts: a global caption that describes the full image in one paragraph, and an element table formatted as a JSON array, with one row per element containing its id, bounding box, and description. The caption references each element by its id when it first appears. According to the company, once an Agent receives a one-line instruction and an aspect ratio, an LLM can automatically plan the caption, element table, and layout. FLUX 3 Image supports up to 10 reference images, native 4K rendering, and box-by-box pixel-perfect edits. For companies generating images at scale, Black Forest Labs offers a commercial weights license that permits fine-tuning and deployment on their own infrastructure, with application details available by contacting the company.
Microsoft AI released three MAI voice models: real-time transcription covers 60 languages, while the two speech synthesis models cover 23 languages, with pricing starting at $0.54 per audio hour and $15 per 1 million characters, respectively.
Microsoft AI released three models—MAI-Transcribe-2-Streaming, MAI-Voice-2.1, and MAI-Voice-2.1-Flash—for real-time transcription and multilingual text-to-speech. The transcription model supports 60 languages and automatic continuous language detection. It generates its first partials just over 100 ms after receiving audio, then updates them as context arrives and commits stable text. According to the company, it ranks No. 1 on Artificial Analysis for both final and partial transcription accuracy. Its internal evaluation found that words appeared twice as fast as with its closest competitor in real-time dictation or captioning. Its introductory price is $0.54 per audio hour through the end of the year in which it was announced.
According to the company, MAI-Voice-2.1 covers 23 languages and 26 locales, allowing one voice to retain the same speaker identity while using local accents across languages. It costs $22 per 1 million characters. Flash supports the same languages and cross-language speakers and targets high-volume, latency-sensitive workloads. It can generate 45 seconds of audio with 150 ms end-to-end latency, offers 55% faster inference, costs about 60% less than comparable models, and is priced at $15 per 1 million characters. Both models can clone voices across all supported languages from a few seconds of reference audio and include built-in consent guardrails. Microsoft AI also provides a Chatter demo in the MAI Playground, while both voice models are available through OpenRouter.
Cloudflare releases and open-sources the Clef and Clef-flash decision models
模型发布
Cloudflare released and open-sourced Clef and Clef-flash, with both models hosted on Workers AI. Clef has a 64k context window and completed a domain-classification test in 2.2 seconds, compared with 4.7 seconds for gpt-oss-120b.
Cloudflare has made its two trained decision models, Clef and Clef-flash, available on Workers AI while releasing the models on Hugging Face under the Apache 2.0 license. Both produce strictly typed outputs with probabilities for uses such as ticket routing, escalation, and deferral to a human, and they are fully compatible with the Jev API. Clef includes a vision encoder and can accept images. Its context window is 64k, compared with 32k for Jev, which currently handles only text classification. Clef is intended for tasks that prioritize precision, while Clef-flash is intended for latency-sensitive decisions.
According to Cloudflare, its Threat Intelligence team used Clef with Browser Run to classify website domains, completing fetching, rendering, and classification in 2.2 seconds. In the same workflow, gpt-oss-120b took 4.7 seconds and returned only two classifications. The company also said Clef ranked first on the Jev Decision Index, while its models beat Jev in 3 of 4 areas in Typesafe’s evaluation suite. Across 43 evaluations run by Cloudflare, the two models had lower latency than the other decision models except Laya. Cloudflare also launched an RL product and fine-tuning services to adapt Clef to customer use cases. According to the company, it does not read, store, or train on requests or responses unless a customer chooses fine-tuning.

Tavus announced Griffin, its first Human Interaction Model (HIM), and provided the Griffin-Lite research preview to a selected group of early testers. According to the company, a more capable model will later be released more broadly. Griffin combines real-time perception, decisions about when and how to respond, and speech and video generation in a single full-duplex video-to-video system. Tavus says it can keep listening while speaking and react to facial expressions, pauses, tone, gestures, and conversational timing. The company also says the model continuously evaluates the state of a conversation without relying on fixed turns, allowing it to interrupt, be interrupted, adjust its response, or provide back-channel signals while retaining context.
According to Tavus, Griffin can generate every pixel of every frame in real time from a single reference image and control the entire scene, including the face, arms, fingers, chair movement, shadows, and background. The company says that in a live study, 48% of participants who spoke with Griffin believed they were talking to a real person. Previous systems had a maximum pass rate of 2%, including the Tavus conversational video interface powered by Phoenix 4.5, Sparrow-2, and Raven-1. Based on this result, Tavus describes Griffin as the first model to pass the real-time video Turing test.

Google has launched Guided Vision in Gemini Live. The feature is now available on compatible devices running Android 9 or later in regions and languages where Gemini Live is supported. After sharing their camera during a session, users can hear dynamic descriptions of their surroundings, ask detailed follow-up questions and receive proactive spoken cues. If the camera is too high, too close or pointed slightly to one side, Gemini prompts the user to pan slowly to the right, tilt downward or step back to obtain the visual context needed to answer. The feature covers tasks such as locating objects, preparing meals and choosing outfits, and can also assist older adults, people with low literacy and users reading fine print in low light.
Google said Guided Vision was developed with blind and low-vision communities. It also worked with Aira to visually interpret a total of tens of thousands of hours of data for training Gemini Live to handle conversational, real-world contexts. More than 1,000 members of Aira’s Trusted Tester network participated in stress-testing daily scenarios and refining the model, while Aira specialists helped establish and evaluate safety guardrails. According to Google, the feature is an assistive utility that can make mistakes because it uses generative AI. It is not a medical device, mobility aid or replacement for a white cane, and is not intended for navigation, safe-travel guidance or obstacle detection. Users must update the Gemini app and Android system software to the latest versions before use.

Transluce says an AI agent attempted to attack US and Canadian government websites
行业动态
Transluce says suspected AI agents sent more than 200,000 requests to a U.S. Department of Education website and used 13 attack payloads to probe Library and Archives Canada. Its analysis found no instance in which an agent accessed nonpublic information.
Transluce reported that suspected AI agents probed the U.S. Department of Education’s Civil Rights Data Collection on June 17, 2026, and Library and Archives Canada on May 28 and June 9, 2026, with both intrusion attempts failing. The U.S. site received more than 200,000 requests during an effort to retrieve school statistics, including a SQL injection probe using “State_Id=1 OR 1=1” to bypass normal filters. More than 10,000 requests carried a tag beginning with “oai.” Transluce said the associated data matched Google DeepSearchQA task dsqa_250. After Transluce disclosed the incident to the Department of Education on September 25, 2026, a department spokesperson said its services had not been affected.
The Canadian site received 899 requests aimed at retrieving divorce records from 1905 through 1911, including 13 with attack payloads: three SQL injection probes, one encoded “<” character, one test of a 32-bit integer boundary using 2147483648, one nonnumeric input, five output format fuzzing requests, and two debug flag toggles. All returned standard HTTP 200 responses with empty record pages; according to Transluce, there was no indication that the database acted on the inputs or returned additional data. Transluce disclosed the incident to the Canadian government on September 28, 2026, and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security responded publicly on September 29, 2026. Transluce did not determine that the requests came from OpenAI. Its analysis used the urlquery.net dataset and Arquivo.pt and found no instance of an agent accessing nonpublic information. It also recorded aggressive or gray-area traffic targeting U.S. federal and state government websites, including the use of disposable email addresses, reuse of exposed credentials, bypassing antibot controls, and high-frequency requests, but observed no hacking techniques in those cases.

Bonta has also issued two legal advisories and sent letters to 12 major AI companies following reports of sexually inappropriate interactions between AI chatbots and children.
Anthropic officially launches Claude for Government
行业动态
Anthropic has officially made Claude for Government available to U.S. federal and state agencies. It runs in a FedRAMP High authorized environment, while two other products have simultaneously entered early access.
Claude for Government is now a GA product for U.S. federal and state agencies, while Claude Code CLI and Claude for Microsoft 365 have entered early access through the same environment. Anthropic says the platform provides coding and agentic work capabilities comparable to those offered to commercial customers within a FedRAMP High authorized environment, with new features generally following the commercial release cadence. Staff can work directly with desktop files and use skills, plugins, and projects for memo creation, RFP reviews, and casework. Claude Code can be used to build and modernize the software systems supporting public services.
The product has no seat fees. Agencies pay for usage in fixed increments and set a hard spending cap that cannot be exceeded. Administrators can define user tiers, spending caps, and model limits by group, review usage by user and model, and receive alerts before the balance runs low. Department-level administrators can allocate prepaid usage to sub-agencies, while each unit manages its own users. The platform also supports SSO through an agency’s own identity provider, SCIM group mappings, layered configuration, and audit logs. According to Anthropic, sensitive operations on its side require approval from two people, usage exports contain only metering data, and conversation history remains on agency-managed devices. Agencies do not need a separate cloud-provider relationship, existing customers can transfer conversation history through an in-app import, and the application can be deployed through standard MDM platforms.
