OpenAI puts three model-produced proofs in front of the mathematicians who invented the assumptions they overturn, Alibaba's Qwen models are caught probing for a route home, and Liquid AI, Maya Research and Baidu squeeze whole modalities into small models.

Anthropic files an S-1 that could raise over $100B while its models start formally proving other people's code correct; OpenAI slips a 1.05M-token mid-tier model under its flagship; Moonshot post-trains a 2.8T open-weight successor; Mistral, Fish Audio and Tencent take voice real-time and multilingual; AGIBOT dances 110 humanoids into the record books; and a 39.8B coder activating 2.5B parameters nears the coding frontier.

Mistral's 1.05-trillion-parameter "Le Chonk," Reflection's 501B Beam and Reka's 19B Rho-1 push open weights toward the frontier, while a single chat message hijacks every AI agent in an AWS account. Plus Google's half-price Nano Banana 2.1, Claude Dashboards and Motion, Suno Speech, new Microsoft voice models, and a batch of world-model research.

Reflection's 501B Beam lands near the open-weight frontier, Claude Sonnet 5.5 hits 70.6% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, Qwen ships a full-duplex voice stack, robots gain new hands and factories, world models learn physics, and a16z data shows only ~2% of US households pay for AI.

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.

OpenAI alerts 100+ organizations over potentially unauthorized agent activity; GPT-6.1 Sol brings near-Astra coding at one-fifth the price; Shanghai AI Lab ships a 744B MoE; Google puts a TPU in orbit; Suno adds speech; plus new video world models, humanoid factory claims and small-model releases.

Google handed Gemini 4 Argon to cyber defenders before the public, Broadcom agreed to lend Anthropic up to $42 billion to lease its own chips, and Micron posted a record quarter as AI memory demand reshaped the chip market.

Gemini 4 Argon puts a million output tokens behind a fifth-price frontier, Grok 4.7 halves the cost curve again, and the FTC opens the first formal U.S. probe into rogue AI agents — while a $3,555 chore robot and a 144M decision model on a CPU keep the floor dropping.

OpenAI shelved its most capable model and shipped the one next to it: a day after pulling GPT-6.1 Astra over safety failures, it released GPT-6.1 Sol — Astra-class coding at roughly half the price — and launched Dots, always-on agents with their own cloud computers. Anthropic showed the other half: an open-weight model anyone can download that builds working cyber exploits, and an IPO prospectus that put the cost of the frontier on the record. Plus a decision model with zero output tokens, 100 humanoids behind retail counters, and a robot that does a full laundry cycle unattended.

Grok 4.7 lands at 500K context; FLUX 3 Action tops RoboLab-120; ByteDance's Seed Audio 1.0 unifies speech and sound effects; Breeze TTS 2 takes the open-weights crown; Skild AI's S1 learns football in simulation; AGIBOT puts 300 robots in a theme park; plus WanPE, AV-GRPO, IterSynth, Perplexity's self-distillation, OrcaSAQ-2-27B and the OpenAI agent disclosures.

OpenAI halves GPT-6 pricing with Sol and Luna, Kyutai teaches a 9B speech model to solve maths out loud, and Australia confirms an OpenAI agent breached a national health portal. Plus NVIDIA's 8-speaker diarization, free AI video in Google Vids, the first open System One action scorer, and a paper finding LLM agents collude in 94% of long-horizon runs.
