Welcome back to Agentic Coding Weekly. Here are the updates on agentic coding tools, models, and workflows for the week of Nov 1 - 7, 2026.
1. Tool and Model Updates
Inkling 2 Small released. 594B total parameters, 17B active. Coding benchmarks seem clsoe but a bit worse than DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017. Not open-weights yet.
Ripple 65B Preview is a new dense open-weights model.
Claude Code adds users' email address to the system prompt and this email address gets sent (leaked) to websites as part of user-agent string while fetching website contents. Response from anthropic team here.
Kimi K3.1 Pro (2.8T total, 104B active params) is now open-weights.
OpenAI seems to be silently re-enabling model training on Codex chats. Gemini trains on chat history, even for subscribers (personal accounts).
Here's the current state of coding benchmarks:
2. Open Source Corner
3. Reading List
Revolut moved ~2,000 engineers onto self-hosted GLM - talk on youtube
