The catch is that it's a breaking release: 1.0 plugins won't work, the server API is different, and the SDK is still changing. Full notes: anoma.ly/notes/openco...

Plugins: 80+ internal plugins implement the 2.0 features, TUI plugins are now stable, and plugins hot-reload mid-session.

The API was rebuilt from scratch, and the agent can call its own API, for example to create a git worktree and move a session into it. Agents setting up their own workspace is a nice direction.

Background tasks: subagents and shell commands can run in the background, and ctrl+b moves running foreground work there. Useful for long test runs while you keep working.

Always-on local server: one background process that the TUI, web interface and desktop app all connect to. Scripts can discover it through the client package, and /pair exposes it to other hosts.

Code Mode: the agent writes one short JavaScript script that chains tool calls, instead of separate round trips. MCP servers and @OpenAPISpec endpoints become callable functions. I want to try it on workflows that hit several MCP servers in a row.

Gemini 4 Argon is new on the board and comes in sixth, 1.2 points behind the leader Claude Opus 5.5. It is a clear step up from Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, which scored 92.2% but not enough for a podium finish.

The result is a foundation that lets the whole vertical process more funds, more complexity, and more clients. That's what it takes for the private market to keep growing: infrastructure that scales with the flexibility makes markets valuable. Full breakdown - blog.withmantle.com/the-wealth-o... 📖

Our Wealth OS handles it in four steps: - Collection: Documents and data from every source, flag what's missing - Extraction: Structured data, validated records - Personalization: Apply your preferences and remember them - Workflows: Put that data to work in reporting, analysis, and next actions

The Wealth Operating System has been made to help bridge the gap of flexibility & throughput, and customization. Every fund reports differently. Every document lands somewhere new. Today, that variety is absorbed by people manually turning documents into records, and that doesn't scale.

The wealth vertical is highly dynamic in terms of inputs and outputs. Especially when it comes to the private markets, the freedom to do business in different ways powers its $18 trillion AUM by 2027.

Claude Code's advisor tool lets a cheaper main model consult a stronger one at key decision points. I'm sure there is a use case to empower some business/operational workflows with this. When coding though, I'll choose to use the best model throughout. code.claude.com/docs/en/advi...

Opus takes the lead from Fable (at much less cost) mostly due to its improved understanding on financial statements. The other document types (ex. capital statements) seem to more or less perform the same.

The live interaction experiences with models are advancing so quickly. Some of micro behaviours are a bit unsettling, but compared to where we were last year it's 🤯. Given the option to wait 1hr or use this to check into my hotel, I would probably choose this.

This is only the start. Extraction is the foundation, and next we want to add much larger reasoning tasks, where models have to connect information across documents rather than just pull fields from one.

Dwayne Forde @dwayne.io · 25/09/2026

Until now there's been no shared way to measure how well models handle the documents this industry actually runs on: capital calls, distribution notices, capital account statements. AWE-Bench is our attempt to fill that gap.

Wealth tech has grown large enough that "trust us, the AI is accurate" shouldn't be the bar anymore. The space deserves proper, public research on raw model capabilities.
