Google previews Gemini API CLI (gemini-api), a zero-dependency Go binary that lets Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other coding agents generate media, transcribe and run managed agents from the shell
The Google AI Studio team released an experimental preview of the Gemini API CLI (command name gemini-api). It is a stateless, zero-dependency Go binary for macOS, Linux and Windows, open source under Apache 2.0. Any coding agent with shell access and a GEMINI_API_KEY can call text reasoning, image, video, music and speech generation, file and YouTube analysis, audio and video transcription, and managed agents such as Deep Research with one command. Media is written straight to disk and only the file path goes to stdout, so base64 payloads never land in the context window. Google labels it experimental and not a supported Google product.

humans& releases its first model, Ampersand v0.1: a group-collaboration model trained from GLM 5.3, now open via its Agents API
On Oct 20, AI startup humans& released its first model, Ampersand v0.1, pitched as a collaborator that helps groups reach individual and shared goals rather than an assistant that completes tasks alone. It is trained from Z.ai's GLM 5.3 (about 744B total, about 40B active parameters) with long-horizon multi-party RL against simulated users played by humans&'s own user model, Persimmon. It is available now, with no waitlist, through an API compatible with OpenAI's Agents API.
