A compact scan of public release notes and model cards from the past week.

Highlights

Several mid-size open-weight chat models posted updated instruction tunes aimed at tool use.
Eval tables remain uneven — compare on your own prompts before trusting leaderboard claims.
License text still matters: check redistribution clauses before shipping anything commercial.

Treat this as a starting map, not a verdict. Prefer primary model cards and release posts over secondary roundups (including this one).
