DeepSeek Harness launches as open source rival to Claude Code, alongside V4-Pro on API with higher prices
DeepSeek is expanding beyond the model layer and deeper into the software developers use to put AI agents to work.The Chinese AI lab on Thursday launched the official version of DeepSeek-V4-Pro, an updated flagship model focused heavily on agentic workloads, alongside DeepSeek Harness v0.1, a new open-source agent harness that gives developers an alternative to integrated coding-agent environments such as Anthropic’s Claude Code.Together, the releases amount to a broader developer push from DeepSeek. V4-Pro is now available across DeepSeek’s web interface, mobile app and API, with native support for the OpenAI Responses API and integration with Codex. DeepSeek Harness, meanwhile, is entering developer preview under the MIT license and the code is available now for download and use on GitHub. It s built around an unusually modular premise: practically every part of the agent runtime can be swapped out as a plugin.But developers accessing V4 through DeepSeek’s API will soon pay considera
Ford’s $28,000 Fathom EV nears production after $2 billion factory overhaul
Ford said today that its next-generation electric vehicle - recently dubbed Fathom - will go into production at the automaker's recently overhauled Louisville Assembly Plant in the first quarter of 2027. The first Fathoms will be prototypes, with Ford's team in Louisville already in the production-level pre-tooling phase at the recently converted facility. Factory workers are working alongside team's at Ford's New Model Product Development Center in Dearborn, Michigan, hand-building the Fathom prototypes - and the same operators who helped design the high-stakes EV will also be involved in its production. The factory is over 70 years old … Read the full story at The Verge.
Suno is trying to look more like a real music production tool
Suno is releasing Studio 2.0 with significant upgrades that push it closer to an actual digital audio workstation (DAW), rather than a bare-bones audio editor with generative AI features. The biggest addition is undoubtedly MIDI support. Suno says that MIDI was its most requested feature, and it's basically a prerequisite for any modern DAW. Unfortunately, Suno Studio doesn't appear to support third-party plugins or VSTs yet, so you're stuck using its proprietary built-in synth. That synth appears to be a basic two-oscillator wavetable plugin with three envelopes and four envelopes. The point is less about using your favorite Arturia vintag … Read the full story at The Verge.
The Corvette Grand Sport X delivers Porsche 911 performance for a fraction of the price
My drive of the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport X began under oily black clouds, a torrential weather front releasing its grip on Manhattan - an inauspicious start for any mega-powered sports car. Rain pelted the waterlogged pavement, as I set course for the mountain-man roads of the Catskills, then on to Long Island and New England over three days. Fortunately, this Grand Sport, a name synonymous with value among Corvette fans, was the first of its kind: A 721-horsepower super-hybrid with a brainy, confidence-boosting AWD system. I popped the Corvette into Sport mode, Wet mode be damned. Finding tire grip galore on the Palisades Parkway, I realiz … Read the full story at The Verge.

Why Capital One built its multi-agent AI platform around open-weight models
Presented by Capital One At VB Transform 2026, Kel Vanee, MVP of machine learning engineering at Capital One, spoke with Sam Witteveen, Senior Technology Contributor at VentureBeat, about how the bank built a scalable multi-agent AI architecture around deeply customized open-weight models rather than relying on an off-the-shelf foundation model. At Capital One, we re not just using AI, we re building AI, Vanee said.The groundwork was laid years ago with Capital One s early investments in data transformation and cloud adoption, which Vanee said were foundational to moving quickly when the current wave of AI arrived. That technical foundation enabled the company to make several deliberate architectural decisions, including building a centralized, enterprise-wide AI platform with built-in governance, deeply customizing open models with proprietary data, and constructing its own multi-agent orchestration harness.Customizing open-weight models with proprietary data Rather than relying solel
Rivian is finally getting a long-requested feature — and no, it’s not CarPlay
Rivian R1S owners, rejoice. Rivian has heard your pleas for second-row captain's chairs. For years, Rivian owners have lamented the absence of captain's chairs in the R1S, noting that the three-row SUV would be much improved with standalone seats instead of a bench in the second row. Parents groused that loading and unloading kids in the R1S could be a headache, especially with a child's seat in the second row. And some owners have even contemplated going so far as to rip out the second-row bench seat and replace it with aftermarket chairs - so desperate were they for an accessible path to the third row. Fortunately for them, Rivian annou … Read the full story at The Verge.
Samsung’s $1,900 Z Fold 8 is still vulnerable to pocket lint
iFixit has provisionally given Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 a repairability score of 4 out of 10, which largely hinged on… well, the hinge. In its teardown of the device, iFixit found that because it carries an IP48 ingress rating - meaning it isn't protected against particles under 1 millimeter - dust and sand could make its way into the hinge mechanism, a component that's difficult to repair or replace. "After working the Fold 8 open and closed, the hinge started making truly awful crunching and grinding noises, and the phone stopped opening normally," iFixit said. "Samsung has previously treated the hinge and inner display as one replacemen … Read the full story at The Verge.
