GLM 5.2 is the best Open Model in the world, and many are saying it's almost as good as Opus 4.8 at a fraction of the cost.

Here's exactly how to set it up in Cursor using OpenRouter. Complete instructions below 👇

New OpenAI model coming soon.
It will be much better at design.
Codex will get 10x more useful.

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

We built the Codex App with models that were okayish at front-end.

Wait to see what we can do when we finally improve front-end capabilities significantly in our models. That day will be something.

[Agent Native @agentnative_]

The world is waking up.

The shift to Open Models has just begun.

[Hunter Bown @goodhunt]

still can't believe how good glm 5.2 is

Many developers are building insane workflows in anticipation for the Fable re-release. The question is… how long will they be waiting?

[maria @maria_rcks]

With everyone hyped for the Fable relaunch and planning insane workflows, i wouldn’t be shocked if Anthropic’s infra crashes lol

[Agent Native @agentnative_]

Oh wow... Super-Apps Keep Evolving

The New Codex "Record and Replay" Feature...
is pure magic. All you need to do is:

1. Use the Record and Replay Plugin
2. Tell Codex you're going to show it a workflow
3. Do the workflow
4. Codex saves it as a skill

Now Codex Computer Use can do that task.

@nsxdavid @rileybrown it's in the desktop app?

[Agent Native @agentnative_]

2 Legends exit Google DeepMind.
One for OpenAI, one for Anthropic.

Noam Shazeer announced this week he was leaving to go to OpenAI.

Just now, John Jumper has left for Anthropic. John was the DeepMind research leader behind AlphaFold and a 2024 Nobel laureate in Chemistry for protein structure prediction using AI.

What is going on at DeepMind?

[John Jumper @JohnJumperSci]

A bit of news: After nearly 9 years, I have decided to leave Google DeepMind and join Anthropic (after taking some time to recharge). I am incredibly grateful for my time at GDM. @demishassabis took a real chance letting me lead the AlphaFold team just six months after finishing my PhD, and the entire GDM team taught me so much about how to do great science. GDM is a special place, and I’ll still be excited to hear about what amazing things they discover next.

Massive week in the land of frontier agents (So far)

Claude Fable disappears
After dominating last week, Fable is suddenly unavailable. Many people are saying "They can't go back to GPT 5.5 after using Fable"

Claude New Design Mode Update
Claude Design Update which keeps all designs generated on brand. Also much easier to transfer designs into tools like Replit and Lovable

Codex updates:
None announced yet There are rumors and speculations, so far nothing.

GLM 5.2 (acutally) Closing the Gap on Frontier
ZAI launches GLM-5.2 and clones Codex
GLM-5.2, one of the strongest open models available, alongside ZCode, its own version of Codex. The company is already predicting GLM will surpass Fable this year.

Many are saying this model is close to as good as Opus 4.8 or right there. "A significant step up in OpenSource Models"

Founder Claims that a Fable Quality Open Model is coming before the end of the year.

SpaceX acquires Cursor
SpaceX acquired Cursor for $60 billion. Cursor is now evolving beyond an AI code editor into a broader AI super app that could compete directly with Codex and Claude Desktop.

Google loses Noam Shazeer to OpenAI
Noam Shazeer, the researcher Google effectively spent $2.7 billion to bring back, is leaving for OpenAI. Another massive loss for Google in the escalating frontier-AI talent war.

[Agent Native @agentnative_]

Many are saying GLM 5.2 is "at least as good as Opus 4.8." Word is Fireworks is the fastest provider to run it on right now.

[Jeremy Howard @jeremyphoward]

Wow.

@Zai_org GLM 5.2 is a marvel! It is *at least* as good as Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5. It's super fast, inexpensive, and not too verbose.

It responds with nuance and judgement, & handles long context VERY well.

I've never experienced an open weights model like this before.

[Agent Native @agentnative_]

Codex update: “Record and Replay” is a new plugin that lets you record any repetitive on-screen workflow once and instantly turn it into a reusable skill.

[Agent Native @agentnative_]

Oh and this... https://t.co/SPJcCPo1RE

[Claude @claudeai]

New in Claude Code: Artifacts.

Interactive pages built from your session, like a PR walkthrough or a living project dashboard, shared with your team at a private link.

Available in beta on Team and Enterprise plans.

Agent Native Episode 3

[Riley Brown @rileybrown]

You can now prompt Codex to spin up new threads inside Codex.

[Agent Native @agentnative_]

Cursor is giving Codex and Claude Code a run for their money.

Their new Composer 2.5 model is very good.
