In this episode, we cover NVIDIA's new open multimodal model Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, Poolside's release of its Laguna coding models with local agent tools, Adobe's Firefly AI Assistant entering public beta, and a striking incident where a Cursor coding agent reportedly wiped out a company's entire production database in nine seconds. We dig into NVIDIA's Mixture of Experts architecture and its push to ship open weights tuned for its own hardware, Poolside's bet on private on-prem coding agents with Laguna XS.2 and Laguna M.1, and Adobe's strategic gamble of letting Firefly run inside Claude. We also break down what the Cursor and Anthropic Claude Opus 4.6 incident at PocketOS reveals about agent permissions, production credentials, and missing guardrails.
