Tsinghua's THUNLP lab, together with ModelBest and OpenBMB, has open-sourced PilotDeck 2.0, an agent operating system featuring WorkSpace-based isolation for files, memory, and tasks, white-box memory management, Dream mode, Always-on execution, native MCP support, and smart routing that cuts complex long-task costs by roughly five-sixths.
Face Intelligence released MiniCPM-V 4.7, a new edge multimodal LLM available in 35B-A3B and 1B variants. The 35B-A3B is the series' first MoE model, powered by LES inference acceleration, reaching 13+ tokens/s on iPhone 17 Pro Max with only 3GB memory. It supports iOS, Android, HarmonyOS and multiple chip platforms, with the SRFT fine-tuning scheme open-sourced.
On October 12, 2026, ModelBest and China Telecom AI Technology signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Beijing. The two parties will jointly develop products around terminal intelligence and industry intelligence, including on-device AI applications for consumer electronics, enterprise vertical industry models and agent infrastructure, edge model capability improvements, and inference acceleration R&D.
