Over the holiday weekend, key AI developments include the upcoming release of Grok 4, Perplexity teasing new projects, and community reactions to Cursor and Dia. Research highlights feature a paper on Reinforcement Learning (RL) improving generalization and reasoning across domains, contrasting with Supervised Fine-Tuning's forgetting issues. Energy-Based Transformers (EBTs) are proposed as a promising alternative to traditional transformers. AI21 Labs updated its Jamba model family with enhanced grounding and instruction following, maintaining a 256K context window. Baidu open-sourced its massive 424 billion parameter Ernie 4.5 model, while Kontext-dev became the top trending model on Hugging Face. Advances in length generalization for recurrent models and the introduction of 2-simplicial attention were noted. In biomedical AI, Biomni, powered by Claude 4 Sonnet, demonstrated superior accuracy and rare disease diagnosis capabilities. Additionally, the Python package manager

OpenAI announced an 80% price cut for its o3 model, making it competitively priced with GPT-4.1 and rivaling Anthropic's Claude 4 Sonnet and Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro. Alongside, o3-pro was released as a more powerful and reliable variant, though early benchmarks showed mixed performance relative to cost. Mistral AI launched its Magistral reasoning models, including an open-source 24B parameter version optimized for efficient deployment on consumer GPUs. The price reduction and new model releases signal intensified competition in reasoning-focused large language models, with notable improvements in token efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

OpenAI rolled out Codex to ChatGPT Plus users with internet access and fine-grained controls, improving memory features for free users. Anthropic's Claude 4 Opus and Sonnet models lead coding benchmarks, while Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash models gain recognition with new audio capabilities. Qwen 2.5-VL and Qwen 3 quantizations are noted for versatility and support. Bing Video Creator launched globally enabling text-to-video generation, and Perplexity Labs sees increased demand for travel search. New agentic AI tools and RAG innovations include LlamaCloud and FedRAG. Open-source releases include Holo-1 for web navigation and PlayAI's PlayDiffusion for speech editing. Audio and multimodal advances feature Suno's music editing upgrades, Google's native TTS in 24+ languages, and Universal Streaming's ultra-low latency speech-to-text. Google NotebookLM now supports public notebooks. "Codex's internet access brings tradeoffs, with explicit warnings about risk" and "Gemini 2.5 Pro is cited as a daily driver by users".

Anthropic's Claude 4 models (Opus 4, Sonnet 4) demonstrate strong coding abilities, with Sonnet 4 achieving 72.7% on SWE-bench and Opus 4 at 72.5%. Claude Sonnet 4 excels in codebase understanding and is considered SOTA on large codebases. Criticism arose over Anthropic's handling of ASL-3 security requirements. Demand for Claude 4 is high, with integration into IDEs and support from Cherry Studio and FastHTML. Google DeepMind introduced Gemini 2.5 Pro Deep Think and Gemma 3n, a mobile multimodal model reducing RAM usage by nearly 3x. Google's Imagen 4 Ultra ranks third in the Artificial Analysis Image Arena, available on Vertex AI Studio. Google also promoted Google Beam, an AI video model for immersive 3D experiences, and new text-to-speech models with multi-speaker support. The GAIA benchmark shows Claude 4 Opus and Sonnet leading in agentic performance.

Anthropic has officially released Claude 4 with two variants: Claude Opus 4, a high-capability model for complex tasks priced at $15/$75 per million tokens, and Claude Sonnet 4, optimized for efficient everyday use. The release emphasizes instruction following and extended work sessions up to 7 hours. Community discussions highlight concerns about token pricing, token accounting transparency, and calls for open-sourcing Claude 3.5 Sonnet weights to support local model development. The news also covers Claude Code GA, new Agent Capabilities API, and various livestreams and reports detailing these updates. There is notable debate around sliding window attention and advanced inference techniques for local deployment.
