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 is preparing a fourth security-focused model while it and Anthropic investigate tens of thousands of agent incidents; Anthropic's Claude computed a nine-loop particle-physics amplitude on its own. Underneath, the small-model tier kept compressing — a 27B model in 5.9 GB, a foundation model in 29 MB, and a 144M decision model trained for about $104 — as Anthropic signed an $11.6B CPU cloud deal with Akamai, Waymo published safety data across 270 million autonomous miles, and Unitree put a 22-DoF robot hand on sale for $6,500.
