Research radar

New is not the same as important.

Track model launches, papers and technical shifts across fields. Sort the same feed by impact, public attention or practical value — and always inspect the source.

AI & CS

World Models & Spatial Intelligence

Atlas, robotics simulation and a clearer renderer–simulator–planner taxonomy are turning “world model” from a loose label into an actionable stack.

Attention20 min · Read Atlas architecture and separate reconstruction, generation and simulation claims.

AI & Robotics

Embodied AI & Robot Learning

The frontier is moving from impressive robot demos toward scalable training loops: simulation, real-to-sim-to-real data, world action models and reliability evaluation.

Attention15 min · Compare the data loop, action representation and evaluation environment of one system.

Multidisciplinary

Research Agents, Skills & MCP

Attention is shifting from general agents to the missing execution layer: verified skills, domain tools, reproducible environments and evidence-aware workflows.

Attention10 min · Inspect one skill's source, verification step and failure boundary before installing it.

AI & CS

Model Lifecycles & Reproducibility

Fast retirements make model availability a research-method issue. Reproducibility now requires snapshots, migration evals and explicit product-versus-API status.

Attention5 min · Audit pinned model IDs and add a replacement eval before the next retirement date.
Codex radar

Community discovery, official verification

OpenAI · openai/codex · public discussions
CODEX · VERIFIED

Official Codex changes

openai/codex

No official Codex release is in the current snapshot yet.

COMMUNITY · CHECKED

Community leads, with evidence status

No public Codex discussion is in the current snapshot.

Community engagement stays platform-local and is neither a benchmark nor a product-performance claim. Only direct OpenAI or openai/codex links receive the verified label.

OpenAI releases GPT-6 Astra

Astra is rolling out across ChatGPT, Codex and API surfaces. OpenAI reports large gains in computer use, coding, science and cybersecurity; benchmark figures remain vendor-reported until independently reproduced.

Claude Opus 4.1 retired from the Anthropic API

Anthropic recommends moving workloads to Claude Opus 4.8. It is a timely reminder to pin model migrations to evals, not model names alone.

GPT-5.1 models retired from ChatGPT

GPT-5.1 Instant, Thinking and Pro left ChatGPT after GPT-4o, GPT-4.1 and o4-mini. API availability follows a separate lifecycle.
