A Radar edition publishes only when the day has enough source-ready signal; the tracker continues to show the newest verified records.
No source-ready records are tagged for today yet, so this section is showing the latest public launch records available in the tracker.
DeepSeek V4-Flash-0731 launches in API beta with native Codex support
Summary: DeepSeek released DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 as the official V4-Flash API public beta. The checkpoint keeps the preview model’s architecture and size but adds new post-training, native Responses API…
Why it matters: Worth testing for cost-sensitive coding-agent workloads because it combines native Codex support, a one-million-token context window, very low API pricing and MIT-licensed weights. Treat…
- Pricing
- $0.0028 per 1M cached input tokens; $0.14 per 1M uncached input tokens; $0.28 per 1M output tokens. DeepSeek says future peak-hour prices will be 2× regular rates, with no effective date announced.

OpenAI releases Codex Security CLI and TypeScript SDK in limited beta
Summary: OpenAI published the Codex Security command-line client and TypeScript SDK. The CLI supports repository and change review, bulk scans, history, CI workflows, SARIF output and false-positive…
Why it matters: The CLI and SDK make Codex Security easier to insert into repeatable engineering workflows and expose useful integration primitives such as typed findings, SARIF,…
- Pricing
- OpenAI does not publish self-serve Codex Security pricing in the reviewed documentation. CLI and SDK access is limited to approved beta customers and partners through an OpenAI account team. Commercial terms, quotas and any Trusted Access for Cyber requirement are account-specific.

Model Context Protocol 2026-07-28 specification goes final
Summary: The final Model Context Protocol 2026-07-28 specification became the current authoritative protocol version. It replaces connection-level state with self-contained requests, moves capability negotiation to each request…
Why it matters: The 2026-07-28 MCP specification makes a consequential architectural trade: stateless, self-contained requests can simplify scaling and recovery, but implementations must now negotiate and validate…
- Pricing
- MCP is an open protocol specification, not a paid hosted product. Implementations, infrastructure, models, connectors and support can carry separate costs. The official specification and governance pages are the authority for the protocol boundary.

- Verified; 4 sources
Microsoft Project Perception
Summary: Microsoft announced Project Perception, an agentic security system that coordinates specialized red, blue, and green agents inside Microsoft Defender.
Why it matters: The launch brings attack simulation, defense testing, and threat-scenario planning into one Microsoft Defender workflow. Its practical effectiveness and cost remain unproven until security…
- Pricing
- Microsoft says Project Perception uses consumption-based, pay-as-you-go pricing measured in Security Compute Units (SCUs). Different agents consume SCUs at different rates; Microsoft did not publish numeric SCU rates in the checked launch sources.

TruthSpine V1 launches as a local-first project-context desktop app
Summary: TimeProof Labs announced TruthSpine V1 as live after publishing its public product hub and release packages. The local-first desktop application builds a compact project context from…
Why it matters: TruthSpine V1 addresses a real developer problem with a concrete local-first design: preserve project decisions and sources once, then reuse compact context across agents.…
- Pricing
- TimeProof Labs offers a 14-day trial. A one-time $95 purchase unlocks TruthSpine V1 and 1.x maintenance updates on one active computer; future major versions are separate purchases. These are company-published terms reviewed July 29, 2026.

kausable raises €12 million for adaptive causal AI
Summary: Heidelberg-based kausable raised a verified €12 million seed round to develop causal AI models intended to adapt to new contexts with minimal data.
Why it matters: kausable seed round addresses a concrete need: The funding backs a technically different approach to adaptive AI, but claims about eliminating retraining and handling…

Plan ahead
Upcoming Deadlines
Future-dated migration, shutdown, and retirement records are separated from today's launches and latest-record lists. These dates are upcoming operational events, not launches that have already happened.
Anthropic Claude Opus 4.1 retirement deadline: August 5, 2026
Summary: Anthropic announced the retirement of claude-opus-4-1-20250805 on the Claude API for August 5, 2026 and recommends claude-opus-4-8. Anthropic notes that partner-platform schedules can differ from its…
Why it matters: Treat August 5 as a model retirement deadline, not a product launch or a blind model-ID replacement. Inventory traffic by provider, confirm which schedule…
- Pricing
- There is no separate retirement or migration fee. Replacement-model usage follows current Anthropic or partner-platform pricing; re-baseline tokens, caching, latency and workload cost on the actual serving platform.

Google Imagen 4 API shutdown window: August 17, 2026
Summary: Google announced that imagen-4.0-generate-001, imagen-4.0-ultra-generate-001 and imagen-4.0-fast-generate-001 are deprecated. Its deprecations table lists August 17, 2026 as the earliest possible shutdown date and recommends gemini-3.1-flash-image.
Why it matters: Plan against August 17 while preserving Google’s wording: the deprecations page says listed dates are the earliest possible shutdown dates and that exact timing…
- Pricing
- There is no separate migration fee. Replacement Gemini API image generation follows current Google pricing and quota terms; teams should compare the selected model, image output, prompts and workload mix on the live pricing page.

Methodology
How Kingy AI Scores Launches
Kingy AI scoring is designed for launch discovery, editorial review, creator planning, and buyer trust checks.
Kingy score
A directional editorial score for launch clarity, source quality, audience fit, pricing visibility, demo usefulness, and practical buyer or creator value.
Demo score
A signal for whether the product can be shown, tested, explained, or compared without relying on vague announcement copy.
YouTube potential
A creator-fit signal for demos, tutorials, before-and-after workflows, explainers, reviews, and audience-specific product education.
Source verification
Records distinguish verified, needs verification, and founder submitted status using official URLs, source links, last-verified dates, and correction paths.
Pricing clarity
Pricing signals favor launches with visible pricing, free-plan status, pricing pages, API access notes, or clear uncertainty when pricing is not public.
Use-case clarity
Launches are easier to evaluate when the audience, workflow, category, demo, and alternative comparison are obvious from public sources.
Founder and sponsor fit
Founder submissions and sponsor interest are routing signals only; editorial review still checks source quality, public claims, demo clarity, and usefulness.
Verification labels
Verified means enough public source evidence is present, needs verification means the record needs more checking, and founder submitted means the entry came through the submission path.
Scores are editorial signals, not scientific benchmarks, paid placements, or guarantees.
Founder submission

Founders can send a launch for editorial review when the public source trail is ready to verify.
