  • OpenAI Ships Official Codex Plugin for Anthropic’s Claude Code

    OpenAI Ships Official Codex Plugin for Anthropic’s Claude Code

    OpenAI has released an official plugin that embeds its Codex coding agent directly inside Anthropic’s Claude Code CLI. Announced on March 30, 2026, the open-source codex-plugin-cc plugin lets developers invoke Codex for code reviews, adversarial analysis, and task delegation — all without leaving the Claude Code terminal. The move is notable because OpenAI is deliberately […]

    Mistral Small 4: Four Models Unified in One Open-Source MoE

    On March 16, 2026, Mistral AI released Mistral Small 4 — a 119-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model that unifies instruction following, reasoning, multimodal understanding, and agentic coding into a single deployment. With only 6 billion active parameters per token (8B including embedding layers), it delivers frontier-class performance at a fraction of the cost and latency of larger […]

  • Foundation-1: A Producer-Focused AI Model for Structured Music Sample Generation

    Foundation-1: A Producer-Focused AI Model for Structured Music Sample Generation

    RoyalCities has released Foundation-1, a specialized text-to-sample AI model built on Stability AI’s Stable Audio Open architecture. Unlike general-purpose music generators that output full songs, Foundation-1 is designed for actual music production workflows — generating tempo-synced, key-aware, bar-structured audio loops with fine-grained control over instrumentation, timbre, effects, and musical phrasing. Intermediate Key points RoyalCities released […]
