NovaFabric: Tamper-Evident, Replayable Evidence for Autonomous AI Agent Runs

NovaFabric seals autonomous AI agent runs into tamper-evident, replayable Run Capsules enabling third-party audit under EU AI Act and ISO 42001.

NovaFabric records autonomous agent runs without modifying agent logic into portable Run Capsules (fifteen-entity schema) sealed with DSSE signatures, RFC 3161 timestamps, a Merkle log, and redaction attestations, supporting four-mode replay and third-party Evidence Bundle verification. Evaluation shows tampering rejected across three tested classes, 14/14 credential types redacted while preserving 9/9 decoys, and 140/140 mutations localized; blast-radius queries reach 45.5ms p99 over 10M edges. Limits include only 2/10 tool-using workloads completing replay due to missing tool-response substitution and ingest capped at 61.6 req/s. The contribution integrates OpenTelemetry, DSSE/in-toto, and W3C PROV rather than new cryptography.

Cognition launches new SWE-2 model, Rivaling Fable 5.1 and GPT-Astra

Cognition released SWE-2, a coding model post-trained from Kimi K3 that scores 50.0% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main, near Fable 5.1 at 64% lower cost.

Cognition introduced SWE-2, its most advanced coding model, post-trained from the 2.8T-parameter Kimi K3 base model. It achieves 50.0% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main, 73.0% on DeepSWE 1.1, and 92.8% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, beating Grok 4.6 and SWE-1.7 while matching Fable 5.1 and GPT-5.6 Sol at a fraction of the price. The company says it scaled reinforcement learning to the multi-trillion-parameter regime for the first time, using Pareto-informed cost penalties that train all reasoning-effort levels in a single run, tripled RL environments, and NVFP4/FP8 quantization-aware training. SWE-2 is available today in Devin Desktop and CLI, with rollout on Devin Web and Fusion.

Locus: A Framework for Exploring and Optimizing Point Addition Hardware for Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Locus framework automates ASIC and FPGA point-addition designs for elliptic curves, achieving 2.71x speedups and 3.11x area reductions for ZKPs.

Locus is a framework that automatically generates ASIC and FPGA implementations of elliptic curve point addition (PADD) for supported equation forms, enabling exploration of over 1,000 design points. On a 12nm technology node, its designs achieve a 2.71x geomean speedup and 3.11x geomean area reduction versus prior ASICs, plus 34.67x geomean speedup over CPU. Integrated into a prior ZKP accelerator at iso-area, it yields a 3.15x geomean speedup on end-to-end proof generation. The framework is open source on GitHub.

Cognition Releases SWE-2: A Kimi K3 Post-Trained Coding Model That Matches Fable 5.1 on FrontierCode at 64% Lower Cost

Cognition released SWE-2, an RL post-trained coding model from Kimi K3, scoring 50.0% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main and available only inside Devin.

Cognition released SWE-2, its most capable coding model, post-trained with reinforcement learning from Moonshot AI's 2.8T-parameter Kimi K3 base. It scores 50.0% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main, within 1 point of Fable 5.1 at 64% lower cost, and RL reportedly adds 5-6 points over the K3 base on many benchmarks. It is the first Cognition model with selectable reasoning-effort levels all trained in a single RL run using Pareto-slope-matched cost penalties. There are no open weights and no standalone API; it runs only inside Devin (Desktop, CLI, with Web and Fusion rolling out), free for paid tiers through October 10, 2026.

Launching managed CRA Article 14 reporting for open source maintainers

EU Cyber Resilience Act Article 14 reporting obligations begin, requiring 24-hour exploit and incident reports; Patchstack launches managed compliance for open-source maintainers.

Starting 11 September 2026, EU Cyber Resilience Act Article 14 requires manufacturers and open-source stewards to report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe security incidents to ENISA via the EU Single Reporting Platform, with a 24-hour early warning, 72-hour notification, and final reports within 14 days or one month. Patchstack launched a free managed compliance service, acting as Assigned Representative for open-source maintainers and providing a managed VDP. The obligations apply retroactively to all products available on the European market. Patchstack, which has coordinated over 50% of known WordPress ecosystem vulnerabilities, already serves more than 1,000 open-source projects.
