OpenAI plans to release its first open-weight language model since GPT-2 in the coming months, signaling a move towards more open AI development. DeepSeek launched its open-source R1 model earlier this year, challenging perceptions of China's AI progress. Gemma 3 has achieved function calling capabilities and ranks on the Berkeley Function-Calling Leaderboard, while GemmaCoder3-12b improves code reasoning performance on LiveCodeBench. Alibaba_Qwen's Qwen2.5-Omni introduces a novel Thinker-Talker system and TMRoPE for multimodal input understanding. The TogetherCompute team achieved 140 TPS on a 671B parameter model, outperforming Azure and DeepSeek API on Nvidia GPUs. OpenAI also expanded ChatGPT features with image generation for all free users and a new voice release. Runway Gen-4 enhances animation for miniature dioramas, and LangChain launched a chat-based generative UI agent. Commercial deployment of Figure 03 humanoid robots at BMW highlights advances in autonomy and manufacturing scaling. New tools include OpenAI's realtime transcription API with WebRTC support and Amazon's Nova Act AI browser agent.
