Anthropic heads into a pre-Thanksgiving IPO at a $1.25-1.75 trillion valuation while OpenAI settles for $11 billion; an open-weight DeepSeek agent closes to within eight points of OpenAI's restricted cyber model, a 0.5B text-to-speech model speaks seven languages at 44.1 kHz, and four open decision models answer in 183 ms.

Moonshot ships Kimi K3.1 Pro at 2.8 trillion open-weight parameters, a 65B model outscores rivals up to 975B on terminal tasks, Anthropic proves which model answered without revealing its weights, and Meta builds a humanoid with Fourier in three months.

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.

Meta returns to open weights with the 816B-parameter Muse Spark Open, Nvidia ships an open enterprise model, and OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra solves 49 of 50 unpublished physics problems. Plus a humanoid factory in three shipping containers, robots that work by touch, ternary on-device models, and Anthropic's $16.8B quarter.

Meta's Muse Wonder models jump into the AI top tier, Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solves Erdős problems peer-reviewed in Science, Microsoft unveils the Maia 300 inference chip, and Amazon moves on Decart for $7 billion — while tiny on-device models, humanoids going commercial, and two new papers ask whether self-improving agents can trust themselves.

Frontier scaffolding instead of chat: Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash, Claude Code Projects, Meta's Muse for Mac and Google's Gemini breach disclosure — plus DeepSeek's 890-byte KV cache, a 5.9 GB ternary 27B, Needle 3, real-time translation, music and video generation, and three humanoid stories.

Two frontier systems abandon chat entirely, a 3B voice model arrives on under 70,000 hours of speech, interactive video finally holds 720p, a humanoid is cleared to work beside people without a fence, and a 7B model keeps pace with 235B classmates.

No new frontier model shipped this week — the news was everything built around them. A recurrence schedule that carries decoder state across tokens, AWS's inbox for background agents, four context-harness mechanisms, a $435M agent-governance land grab, and a fruit fly connectome that lost to a random control.

OpenAI's agent swarm claims a Millennium Prize by finding a Navier-Stokes singularity, an Anthropic researcher quits warning that self-improving AI could kill us all, Samsung leads Mistral's record €3B round, and Inception ships the fastest diffusion LLM yet.

No flagship dropped this week — but an NVIDIA system became the first AI to outscore every human at the International Olympiad in Informatics, a 6B open diffusion transformer set a new image-generation SOTA, and two papers reframed what smart computation even needs. Then HarvestBench asked the sharpest question: not whether agents can reason about harm, but whether they'll pay to avoid it.
