+> Automated brief (activity-core schedule → rein-aharness). Deltas only.
+
+## Headline deltas

+- No material delta observed in frontier API releases, open-weight models from other orgs, training methods, or harness updates.
+- The DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-Instruct model, identified as a high-priority collection candidate yesterday, remains the most significant recent development.
+- No new collection candidates identified beyond the existing DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-Instruct.

+## Lab implications

+- Continue to prioritize the collection of `deepseek-ai__DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-Instruct` as per yesterday's brief.
+- Monitor DeepSeek-AI and other major open-weight providers for further instruction-tuned releases or new base models.
+- No immediate changes to `llm-connect` routing or other strategic reserve planning are required beyond the new collection.
