Opera has introduced WebAI, a new web standard designed to enable users to deploy AI models locally within their browser (TechCrunch). The standard is built to work with a variety of AI models and shifts inference execution to client hardware rather than remote servers.
Mirendil released Fern 0.1, its first model, pretrained from scratch with a 10M-token context window and targeting agentic AI research and development work (MarkTechPost). The model achieves 100 percent on RULER single-needle evaluation at 10M tokens but trails frontier models on agentic coding benchmarks. OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Terra, a mid-range vision and computer-use model priced at $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens, reducing costs by half compared to its predecessor while matching GPT-6 Astra performance on medium-effort agent tasks at significantly lower per-task cost (The Decoder).
