- MCP for Blender renames PyPI package and adds one-command installer
The community project MCP for Blender, formerly blender-mcp, says its PyPI package is now mcp-for-blender. Existing setups keep working: uvx blender-mcp still runs the server and no config change is required, while new installs should use mcp-for-blender. The README describes a one-command installer that installs uv if needed, finds MCP clients on the machine — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop/Windsurf, OpenCode and Antigravity — lets the user choose which to set up, then installs and enables the Blender addon. It says existing config is kept by adding a blender entry and saving a .bak of each changed file. The project describes prompt-assisted 3D modeling, scene creation and manipulation with an LLM, and states it is a third-party integration not made by Blender and not affiliated with the official Blender Foundation.
GitHub Trending · Python · 🔥 0 - Microsoft launches MAI Code1.1Flash as GitHub Copilot adds local-cloud hybrid inference
At its October 7 Windows and Surface event, Microsoft said GitHub Copilot will gain support for local AI models by the end of this month, letting developers switch between cloud and on-device models or have the system schedule them automatically. The accompanying MAI Code1.1Flash is a mixture-of-experts model that Microsoft says has 137 billion total parameters and 6.8 billion active parameters, using quantization and speculative decoding to cut memory use and speed up on-device coding responses; it debuts on the new Surface Laptop Ultra with NVIDIA RTX Spark hardware. Users can pick inference modes through the GitHub Copilot CLI, the Copilot app and VS Code, or call local models via a Windows ML provider or an OpenAI-compatible local endpoint, with code isolation handled by Microsoft's Execution Container (MXC).

Microsoft unveiled its new Surface Laptop Ultra, presented by CEO Satya Nadella and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, built on Nvidia's RTX Spark platform (a chip co-developed with MediaTek) with up to 128GB of unified memory. According to cnBeta, the laptop starts at $2,599 in the US with shipments scheduled for the following Friday, offering a 15-inch mini-LED touchscreen, up to 1 petaflop of AI performance, and support for running local models with up to 120 billion parameters. Microsoft also opened preorders for the developer-focused Surface RTX Spark Dev Box at $5,999 with 128GB of unified memory, shipping in November with a Project Zenith Windows 11 Pro setup and preinstalled tools including Visual Studio Code, Git, GitHub CLI and GitHub Copilot.
The Next Web · 🔥 0 - SageMaker Studio can now manage HyperPod Spaces without the CLI
AWS says users can now create, configure, start, stop and open Amazon SageMaker Spaces on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod EKS clusters directly from the SageMaker Studio UI, instead of relying on the HyperPod CLI or kubectl. A new IDE and Notebooks tab on the cluster detail page offers a guided form and a searchable Spaces table, with browser access to JupyterLab or Code Editor and remote VS Code access over SSH-over-SSM. AWS says Karpenter over-provisioning can cut Space startup from 5–7 minutes to roughly 30–40 seconds.
AWS Machine Learning Blog · 🔥 0 - Anaconda launches agent swarms and AI red-teaming tools for enterprise platform
Anaconda is expanding its enterprise AI platform beyond Python packaging with agent swarms, agentic security testing and production deployment capabilities built on its acquisitions of Kilo Code, Enkrypt AI and Outerbounds. The new Kilo Desktop brings swarms into Visual Studio Code with access to more than 500 models, local model execution and automatic model routing; on security, it offers autonomous red-teaming across more than 300 attack categories, runtime controls and a public Agent Incident Registry. Anaconda cites its own research that 63% of respondents are moving toward swarms, and Enkrypt research finding vulnerabilities in 73% of agent tools examined across over 25,000 MCP servers, while saying 95% of the Fortune 500 use its software.
