New AI Infra Decacorns: Fireworks and Baseten Reach $10B+ Valuations (OpenRouter Next)
Latent Space reports on major funding milestones for AI inference infrastructure companies Fireworks AI and Baseten, both reaching decacorn ($10B+) valuations. OpenRouter is noted as a likely next entrant to that tier. The piece signals continued investor conviction in the AI serving and inference layer as a high-value segment of the stack.
Hermes Agent Surpasses OpenClaw in Daily Token Usage, Highlighting Self-Improving Agentic Capabilities
Hermes Agent, an open-source personal agent from Nous Research launched in February 2026, has overtaken OpenClaw on OpenRouter's daily token consumption leaderboard. It distinguishes itself through automatic skill creation (converting successful task completions into reusable SKILL.md instruction files), a two-tier memory architecture with intelligent deduplication and merging, and a Curator background process that manages skill lifecycle. The agent supports local or cloud deployment, integrates with ~20 messaging services, and works with a wide variety of LLMs, positioning it as a model-agnostic alternative in the emerging personal agent category.
Hermes Agent Challenges OpenClaw on Token Usage Leaderboard; Agent Self-Improvement Highlighted
Hermes Agent, an open-source AI agent from Nous Research launched in February 2026, has surpassed OpenClaw on OpenRouter's daily token consumption leaderboard. Hermes Agent differentiates itself through a memory architecture and automatic skill-building capability using the SKILL.md format, enabling self-improvement as a core agentic feature. It supports local and cloud deployment, integrates with ~20 messaging services, and works with a wide variety of LLMs via the Agent Communication Protocol. The piece also covers Andrew Ng's commentary on Harvard's grade-capping policy, which is tangential to AI/ML.
KaliGPT: agentic AI assistant for offensive security built on Gemini, ChatGPT, Ollama, and OpenRouter
KaliGPT is an open-source agentic AI tool targeting ethical hackers and offensive security students, integrating multiple model backends including Gemini, ChatGPT, Ollama, and OpenRouter. The project aims to streamline penetration testing workflows. It is gaining traction on GitHub with 494 stars and 46 added today.
Nvidia releases Nemotron 3 Super 120B-A12B open-weights model with hybrid Mamba-2/MoE architecture
Nvidia released Nemotron 3 Super 120B-A12B, an open-weights LLM with a hybrid Mamba-2/transformer/MoE architecture that activates only 12B parameters per token and supports up to 1 million token context. The model claims the fastest inference speed in its size class at 442 tokens/second and leads open-weights models on PinchBench agentic task evaluation, outperforming larger models including Kimi K2.5 (1T parameters). Nvidia is releasing weights, training data, and recipes under a permissive commercial license, and plans a $26B five-year investment in open-weights models — framed partly as a strategic response to Chinese labs building capable open-weights models on non-Nvidia hardware.
