US DOJ investigators are examining whether Nvidia’s ~$20B Groq arrangement—a technology license plus hiring founder Jonathan Ross and other execs—was structured to avoid merger antitrust filing. The probe opened after the December deal and Nvidia has received a formal information request.
The PUBG maker's AI team trained the 30B total, 4B active mixture of experts model from scratch for Korean and English chat and tool calling agents, and ships NVFP4 (vLLM, single GPU), MLX and GGUF builds alongside the main weights. It's a gated preview with automatic approval, so specs and results may change before the final release, and the hosted API and playground fall under separate terms…
Released Oct 23, a new Priority class lets you register an assign function in langgraph.json that gives each thread a priority and a fairness group (say, premium users first, grouped by org); the server calls it on a thread's first run and keeps the result for later runs.

The existing Google managed option stays for VPC Service Controls, CMEK and data residency, but gets new platform features only once Google integrates them…
Open sourced Oct 24 under MIT, Agensh has each agent claim its own sub task, share findings and merge into a shared Gitea repo, with Mattermost for messages; on the five hardest ProgramBench tasks, going from 1 to 128 agents lifted the mean test pass rate from 19.31% to 28.78%. The release ships a single node Docker Compose setup (eight workers by default) on Copilot ACP sessions, and token costs for big swarms aren't disclosed (paper)…
Announced Oct 23, MCP Tasks in Claude Code CLI v2.1.304+ let a server accept a slow job like a build or export, return a task handle right away, and report back later while Claude carries on; running tasks can also pop elicitation forms to ask you for input. It works in terminal, Agent SDK and GitHub Actions sessions on MCP revision 2026 07 28, not yet in VS Code, the desktop app or subagent calls, and servers must add the Tasks extension themselves (Upstash walkthrough)…
