OpenAI rolled out GPT-5.6 featuring a new model stratification with tiers Luna / Terra / Sol and effort levels including Max and Ultra, introducing complex configuration options. The launch faced UX challenges with the ChatGPT Work / Codex split, prompting rapid corrective actions including usage-limit resets and UI improvements. Early benchmarks show GPT-5.6 excels in agentic coding, presentation, and science tasks, tying with Claude Fable 5 in Code Arena Frontend at about half the cost, and achieving a significant 500-point Elo gain in presentations. However, users noted instruction-following issues and concerns about jailbreakability. The major advancement is in orchestration and computer use, with Sol Ultra demonstrating strong planner and verifier capabilities, enabling high-throughput automation workflows. A notable operational challenge is the hidden cost explosion from spawned subagents inheriting premium settings, causing faster quota depletion.

Anthropic launched Claude Design, a prototyping tool powered by Claude Opus 4.7, targeting design workflows and competing with Figma and others. Benchmarks show Opus 4.7 leading in coding and text tasks, with improved efficiency and adaptive reasoning, though early user feedback noted some regressions and stability issues. Discussions highlighted its cost-efficiency and agentic capabilities compared to Gemini 3.1 Pro and GPT-5.4. Meanwhile, OpenAI's Codex updates introduced advanced computer-use features enabling fast, agentic control of desktop apps and enterprise software, signaling progress toward practical AGI-like agents.

Anthropic launched Claude Opus 4.7, its most capable Opus model yet, featuring stronger coding and agentic performance, a new tokenizer, and improved long-context handling with a new xhigh reasoning tier. Benchmarks show substantial gains, including SWE-bench Pro 64.3%, SWE-bench Verified 87.6%, and TerminalBench 69.4%, with top rankings on Vals Index and GDPval-AA. Technical changes include a new tokenizer and increased image input resolution to 3.75MP. Some long-context benchmarks showed mixed results, with a shift in focus from MRCR to Graphwalks. Adoption was rapid across tools like Cursor, VS Code, Replit Agent, and Perplexity. Meanwhile, OpenAI expanded Codex into a broader computer agent with Mac computer use, in-app browser, image generation/editing, 90+ plugins, multi-terminal support, SSH remote devbox access, and richer file previews. A new vertical life-sciences model, GPT-Rosalind, was also introduced.

Anthropic released upgraded Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Claude 3.5 Haiku models featuring a new computer use capability that allows interaction with computer interfaces via screenshots and actions like mouse movement and typing. The Claude 3.5 Sonnet achieved state-of-the-art coding performance on SWE-bench Verified with a 49% score, surpassing OpenAI's o1-preview. Anthropic focuses on teaching general computer skills rather than task-specific tools, with expected rapid improvements. Other releases include Mochi 1, an open-source video generation model, Stable Diffusion 3.5 with Large and Medium variants, and Embed 3 by Cohere, a multimodal embedding model for text and image search. KerasHub was launched by François Chollet, unifying KerasNLP and KerasCV with 37 pretrained models. Microsoft introduced the Differential Transformer to reduce attention noise via differential attention maps, and research on transformer attention layers was shared by Rasbt.
