Moonshot AI Releases Open-Weight Kimi K2.5 Model with Vision and Agent Swarm Capabilities
Moonshot AI released Kimi K2.5, their latest open-weight multimodal LLM. K2.5 excels at coding tasks, with benchmark scores comparable to frontier models such as GPT-5 and Gemini. It also features an agent swarm mode, which can direct up to 100 sub-agents for attacking problems with parallel workflow.
By Anthony AlfordLeapwork Research Shows Why AI in Testing Still Depends on Reliability, Not Just Innovation

By Craig RisiOpenAI Publishes Codex App Server Architecture for Unifying AI Agent Surfaces
OpenAI has recently published a detailed architecture description of the Codex App Server, a bidirectional protocol that decouples the Codex coding agent's core logic from its various client surfaces. The App Server now powers every Codex experience, including the CLI, the VS Code extension, and the web app, through a single, stable API.

Capgemini's Steve Jones argues AI agents building apps in hours have killed the Agile Manifesto, as its human-centric principles don't fit agentic SDLCs.

The debate: Is Agile dead, or evolving for AI collaboration?
