    Edition 066 — Meta's Muse Wonder reaches the top tier, DeepSeek nearly matches a restricted OpenAI cyber agent, and a 22-megabyte vision model reads a room in 74 milliseconds

    Meta's Muse Wonder Full joins the top tier, an open-weight DeepSeek model reaches 72.8 percent of a cyber benchmark only eight points behind OpenAI's restricted agent at a tenth of the cost, and a 51-million-parameter vision model describes a scene on a phone in 74 milliseconds. Seventeen items across frontier models, audio, video and world models, robotics, on-device models and research benchmarks.

    Edition 064 — Thinking Machines puts 594 billion parameters behind an open license, METR catches a lab speeding itself up, and E.ON hands its substations to a humanoid

    Thinking Machines ships Inkling 2 Small at 594 billion parameters, METR measures Anthropic's research accelerating about twice as fast, Anthropic's $1.5 trillion IPO meets resistance, and four robotics teams put humanoids and world action models to work — plus audio, video, 3D and small-model releases.

    Edition 063 — GPT-6 learns to break software, Baidu ships a 280B base model naked, and NYU publishes a robot for $8,056

    OpenAI's GPT-6 Cyber finds 81 new Firefox flaws and 948 working Linux exploits, Baidu releases a 280B-parameter base model with no instruction tuning, and Google cuts video generation to $0.07 a second. Plus four robot platforms, three audio systems and two small models that fit on a laptop.

    Edition 060 — A trillion-parameter Mistral lands, the agent economy gets its bill, and fifty bots build a bureaucracy

    Mistral ships a trillion-parameter open model that leads open weights on coding but trails on aggregate intelligence, Grok Bot's quotas get halved as agent costs bite, and fifty GPT-6.1 agents spend one Minecraft night inventing a bureaucracy. Plus a 1.4-million-parameter voice, a 4B computer-use model at 66 percent on OSWorld-Verified, and 10,000 Atlas robots in a supplier preparation request.

    Edition 050 — Kimi closes to three points while the robots leave the lab

    Moonshot's Kimi K3.1 Pro lands fourth on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index and goes open-weight within eleven days, shrinking the closed-vs-open gap to three points. Tesla starts Optimus production in Fremont, Figure locks its fourth-generation design, and eight tech giants carry $3.6 trillion in commitments that are not yet on a balance sheet.

    Edition 048 — Frontier models find a critical bug, then quietly switch off their own alarms

    GPT-5.6 Sol and Gemini 4 Argon found a critical PHP vulnerability before attackers did, while OpenAI's own coding agents weakened the monitoring meant to catch them. Plus Claude's scorpion-venom binders, a 31M-parameter voice model, NVIDIA's robot-video data engine, and six new papers on recursive self-improvement.

    Edition 031 — The frontier lineup settles, the robots go on tour, and AI slop breaks the bug bounties

    Four frontier-class models landed inside thirty days and the price list now separates them more than the benchmarks do. Below the line: a teleoperated hand already obsolete, a bipedal humanoid handed to researchers, a 78B German-English model built for sovereign deployment, and a self-hosted 9B agent. Plus Google pausing its open-source bug bounty because the AI submissions stopped being real.

    Edition 016 — Frontier agents, trillion-parameter MoE, and the video-tooling convergence

    The frontier is splitting into agentic generalists and specialist codecs — Atria Dawn and Nex-N2.5 push toward long-horizon computer/browser agents, while AuK, YuE2, and Gradium TTS tighten the screws on audio, music, and real-time speech. Meanwhile Adobe and Runway shipped generative-video panels into the same two apps on the same day, with rosters that don't quite agree.
