LandingAI Releases Agentic Document Extraction Gen2 with DPT-3 Pro and DPT-3 Verity
LandingAI shipped Agentic Document Extraction Gen2 with DPT-3 Pro and DPT-3 Verity parsing models, adding usage-based billing, block-tree outputs, and word-level grounding.
LandingAI has generally released Agentic Document Extraction Gen2, rebuilt around two parsing models: DPT-3 Verity for deterministic transcription of digital documents with per-word bounding boxes and confidence scores, and DPT-3 Pro for layout-aware parsing of scans, handwriting, non-Latin scripts, and LaTeX math. Billing changes from a flat 3 credits per page to a page-plus-output-character model (Pro: 1 credit/page plus 0.5 credits per 1,000 output characters on priority; Verity: 0.3 plus 0.2), with an asynchronous standard tier at 0.5x price and vendor-claimed 25-80% cost reductions. Parse v2 returns a document-page-block tree with semantic IDs, normalized bounding boxes, and line- or word-level atomic grounding, replacing flat chunks; Gen1 client code will not run against Gen2 endpoints. Deployment options include US/EU cloud, VPCs on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, Snowflake, and air-gapped on-premises environments, with automated model routing planned for fall 2026.

Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?
A Hacker News thread debates whether agent skill files are worth managing, citing 2–4x output-token reductions on flagship models in one company's testing.
Commenters argue skills are stored prompts that help less-technical users compensate for weak prompting, while one participant reports company testing found skills reduce flagship-model output tokens by roughly 2–4x, a gap growing with newer models. Others note skills can bundle reusable scripts and inline commands for deterministic context building, and that harnesses now execute backticked commands before the agent sees the skill. Some argue improving model capability makes downloadable skills redundant.

OpenAI Agents API
OpenAI's Agents API documentation describes a managed Codex harness offering sandboxed agents, MCP connectivity, subagents, and US-only data residency.
The Agents API lets applications run durable agent sessions while OpenAI manages orchestration, context compaction, and recovery on the Codex harness. Agents can execute code, edit files, and connect to MCP servers in OpenAI-hosted or self-hosted sandboxes. Example applications include an incident response agent, Slack bot, data analyst, and GitHub issue investigator. Billing follows model, tool, and container rates; the examples use model gpt-6-astra.

The /wayfinder Skill: Navigating the “Fog of War” of Planning
Matt Pocock released the /wayfinder skill, an orchestrator layer that manages planning sessions, maps, and tickets for AFK coding agents.
Latent Space interviews Matt Pocock, whose AI Skills for Real Engineers project has 220,000+ GitHub stars, about his new /wayfinder skill. The skill manages agent context during ambiguous planning by splitting work into grilling, prototype, research, and task tickets organized under a shared map, enabling overnight AFK agent runs. It uses deliberate terminology like map, ticket, and session to steer agent behavior, and was tested on projects including a personal website rearchitecture.

GPT-6 Astra needs leaner prompts and fewer guardrails, OpenAI recommends
OpenAI's Eric Provencher advises developers using GPT-6 Astra to shorten skill descriptions, trim AGENTS.md reading requirements, relax approval rules, and define clear completion goals.
OpenAI's Eric Provencher published guidance on adapting developer setups when switching to GPT-6 Astra, arguing that overly long skill descriptions, blanket reading requirements, and rigid approval rules waste context or make the agent stop too early. Skills are Markdown prompt files whose names and descriptions enter Codex's context, and too many or conflicting skills cause truncation and wrong skill selection. He recommends selective document references in AGENTS.md, explicit permissions for safe operations like local test runs, and defining upfront what "done" means, since Astra may stop earlier than GPT-5.6 Sol even without restrictions.

Top 5 AI Gateways for Enterprise (2026 Guide)
A 2026 buyer's guide ranks NeuralTrust TrustGate, Kong AI Gateway, and Cloudflare AI Gateway as top enterprise AI gateways for security and governance.
The guide evaluates enterprise AI gateways on security, governance, routing, observability, and agent ecosystem support. NeuralTrust TrustGate ranks first for identity-aware agent governance across models, MCP servers, tools, and agent-to-agent traffic, with SaaS, hybrid, and private deployment options. Kong AI Gateway is recommended for organizations with mature API infrastructure, while Cloudflare AI Gateway emphasizes caching, retries, model fallbacks, and prompt/response guardrails.
