Anthropic released Claude Opus/Sonnet 4.6, showing a significant intelligence index jump but with increased token usage and cost. Anthropic also shared insights on AI agent autonomy, highlighting human-in-the-loop prevalence and software engineering tool calls. Alibaba launched Qwen 3.5 with discussions on reasoning efficiency and token bloat, plus open-sourced Qwen3.5-397B-A17B FP8 weights. The GLM-5 technical report introduced asynchronous agent reinforcement learning and compute-efficient techniques. Rumors about Gemini 3.1 Pro suggest longer reasoning capabilities, while MiniMax M2.5 appeared on community leaderboards. The community debates benchmark reliability and model performance nuances.
