score: 85
trend: up

+ Ramp's June index puts Anthropic ahead of OpenAI in paid business adoption for a second month, 41% to 39.5%
+ AMD committed up to $5B in equity and 2 gigawatts of MI450 GPUs July 22, diversifying compute supply
+ Opus 5's cyber classifiers refused 5% of API calls in one benchmark run against Fable 5's 42%, with the tradeoff published rather than hidden

---GEMINI---
score: 80
trend: down
change: -1
+ Nearly 90% of the Fortune 100 now use Gemini Enterprise, with Cloud revenue up 82% and backlog at $514 billion
+ Oracle put Gemini models into Fusion Applications, NetSuite and AI Agent Studio July 30, reaching thousands of enterprise application customers
- Gemini 3.5 Pro missed a third straight month, still in limited Vertex AI preview with no benchmarks, pricing or public API, and forecasters now say October at earliest
- Hassabis moved to chair August 5 while Jeff Dean left after 27 years with three senior researchers, and Alphabet fell more than 5%
- The 950-million-user quarter also produced Alphabet's first negative free cash flow since 2004, at negative $5.9 billion
---MISTRAL---
score: 79
trend: up
change: +5
+ Microsoft committed billions to Mistral's European GPU build-out July 21 as anchor tenant, putting Medium 3.5 and OCR 4 into Foundry and Copilot Studio globally
+ Azure Local lets regulated buyers run the models fully disconnected, an option Microsoft says is rare for proprietary frontier models
+ EU AI Act general-purpose obligations took effect August 2 with penalties to 7% of revenue, and OCR 4 ships as a single self-hosted container
+ Samsung is in talks to invest hundreds of millions of euros at a roughly €20 billion valuation, giving the stalled round a strategic anchor
- The €3 billion raise is still not closed, Foundry access is inference-only, and no Mistral model sits near the top of any independent index
---GROK---
score: 28
trend: down
change: -2
+ xAI open-sourced the full 844,530-line Grok Build harness under Apache 2.0 on July 15, three days after the repository-upload disclosure
- A UK High Court claim filed July 28 alleges Grok added explicit sexual material users never requested, citing xAI's own published instructions; no defence filed
- Grok 4.5 still has no model card, system card or red-team report, and stays withheld from the EU past the August 2 AI Act deadline
- A DOGE staffer leaked a live Grok API key covering at least 52 xAI models, and the key reportedly stayed active
- Monthly from-scratch model releases through 2026 with no confirmed version pinning, unlike OpenAI's and Anthropic's pinned model strings
---DEEPSEEK---
score: 23
trend: down
change: -1
+ V4-Flash-0731 scored 50 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index July 31, ten points above the April preview, at roughly 60% below GPT-5.6 Luna per task
+ Open-source tokens on OpenRouter rose from 34% in January to 65% in June with DeepSeek the top model line
- DeepSeek suspended its second funding round July 25 after founder comments leaked, pausing a raise at a $71 billion valuation
- A leaked call puts Huawei's allocation at 16,000 Ascend cards against the 200,000 the founder said frontier training needs
- OpenAI's 80% Luna cut compressed the cost gap from above while Alibaba's Qwen3.8-Max crowds the open-weight lane
Repo Radar No. 13: graphify turns any folder of code, papers and screenshots into a queryable knowledge graph. Tencent's CubeSandbox boots a hardware-isolated agent sandbox in under 60ms. Together AI's hallmark stops coding agents shipping the same gradient hero. Microsoft's Flint compiles agent chart specs into Vega-Lite, ECharts or Chart.js. PentAGI runs autonomous security tests inside Docker. Five projects that narrow what an agent may see, run, render or spend.
This week's Repo Radar tracks five GitHub projects where AI agents move from chat into real production work: OpenMontage turns a coding assistant into a video studio, Google Labs' design.md gives agents a design-system spec, Strix runs autonomous penetration tests, Alibaba's page-agent drives live web interfaces in natural language, and MinerU converts messy PDFs into LLM-ready markdown. Difficulty scores, licenses, and push dates for each, plus why OpenMontage is Repo of the Week.
Repo Radar's eleventh issue tracks five GitHub projects builders attach to AI agents once a demo becomes a workload: Agent-Reach, a CLI giving agents live access to Twitter, Reddit, and YouTube; Flue, the Astro team's sandbox agent harness; cognee, a graph-based memory layer; hunk, a review-first diff viewer for agent-written code; and mistral.rs, a Rust engine for local inference. Each scored on stars, language, license, push date, and setup difficulty.
Weekly deep dives on AI power, strategy, and market shifts.
For founders, operators, investors, and decision-makers who need signal over noise.
Hermes demonstrations show outputs. The configuration underneath decides whether the agent still earns its place in month three, and most of it is set in a YAML file in the first hour. Six decisions, the keys that govern them, and the shipped defaults that are wrong for professional use.
Claude Code can now run 1,000 agents from a script it writes itself. We built a document audit and pointed it at this article: 204 agents, 189 claims, two real errors caught that two prior fact-checks missed. What Anthropic's own projects trusted to grade them is the lesson.
Trump's June 2 order gave officials 60 days to build a voluntary review process for the most capable AI models. The deadline passed August 1, the White House says the framework is done, and nobody outside government will say what is in it.
The White House says the voluntary AI model-review framework required by Trump's June 2 executive order was complete by its August 1 deadline, but it will not release the document, name who has seen it, or say when companies start using it. A staff-level meeting with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Meta is set for Tuesday.
