AI News Roundup: Meta Brain2Qwerty v2 Brain-to-Text, Cursor iOS Remote Agents, and DeepSeek V4 in llama.cpp
Meta released Brain2Qwerty v2, a non-invasive brain-to-text decoder achieving up to 78% word accuracy on its best participant and 61% average across nine volunteers, with training code and the v1 dataset made public. Cursor launched an iOS app featuring always-on cloud agents, remote control of desktop agents, and in-app PR diff review. Open-weight model access was productized: cline introduced a $9.99/month pass bundling GLM 5.2, DeepSeek, Kimi, MiniMax, and Qwen, while Cognition's Devin Fusion harness claimed a 35% cost reduction for coding via hybrid-model orchestration. DeepSeek V4 support and DFlash speculative decoding were merged into llama.cpp, with community demonstrations of GLM-5.2 753B running at 16 tok/s across two Macs using llama.cpp RPC. Arena exceeded $100M ARR and 700M conversations, pivoting toward post-deployment agent evaluation, and a Claude Code safety incident prompted calls for sandboxing AI agents.
