MiniMax M2, an open-weight sparse MoE model by Hailuo AI, launches with ≈200–230B parameters and 10B active parameters, offering strong performance near frontier closed models and ranking #5 overall on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v3.0. It supports coding and agent tasks, is licensed under MIT, and is available via API at competitive pricing. The architecture uses full attention, QK-Norm, GQA, partial RoPE, and sigmoid routing, with day-0 support in vLLM and deployment on platforms like Hugging Face and Baseten. Despite verbosity and no tech report, it marks a significant win for open models.

As ICCV 2025 begins, DeepSeek releases a novel DeepSeek-OCR 3B MoE vision-language model that compresses long text as visual context with high accuracy and efficiency, challenging traditional tokenization approaches. The model achieves ~97% decoding precision at <10× compression and processes up to ~33M pages/day on 20 A100-40G nodes, outperforming benchmarks like GOT-OCR2.0. Discussions highlight the potential for unlimited context windows and tokenization-free inputs, with contributions from @karpathy, @teortaxesTex, and others. In video generation, google-deepmind's Veo 3.1 leads community benchmarks with advanced precision editing and scene blending, while Krea open-sources a 14B autoregressive video model enabling realtime long-form generation at ~11 FPS on a single B200 GPU.

xAI released open weights for Grok-2 and Grok-2.5 with a novel MoE residual architecture and μP scaling, sparking community excitement and licensing concerns. Microsoft open-sourced VibeVoice-1.5B, a multi-speaker long-form TTS model with streaming support and a 7B variant forthcoming. Motif Technology published a detailed report on Motif-2.6B, highlighting Differential Attention, PolyNorm, and extensive finetuning, trained on AMD MI250 GPUs. In coding tools, momentum builds around GPT-5-backed workflows, with developers favoring it over Claude Code. Alibaba released Qwen-Code v0.0.8 with deep VS Code integration and MCP CLI enhancements. The MCP ecosystem advances with LiveMCP-101 stress tests, the universal MCP server "Rube," and LangGraph Platform's rollout of revision queueing and ART integration for RL training of agents.

Huggingface released "The Ultra-Scale Playbook: Training LLMs on GPU Clusters," an interactive blogpost based on 4000 scaling experiments on up to 512 GPUs, providing detailed insights into modern GPU training strategies. DeepSeek introduced the Native Sparse Attention (NSA) model, gaining significant community attention, while Perplexity AI launched R1-1776, an uncensored and unbiased version of DeepSeek's R1 model. Google DeepMind unveiled PaliGemma 2 Mix, a multi-task vision-language model available in 3B, 10B, and 28B sizes. Microsoft introduced Muse, a generative AI model trained on the game Bleeding Edge, and presented Magma, a foundation model for multimodal AI agents excelling in UI navigation and robotic manipulation. Baichuan-M1-14B was announced as a state-of-the-art medical LLM trained on 20T tokens, and a fully open-source 40B genome modeling model using StripedHyena 2 architecture was also released. "Making your own gaming experience is coming sooner than you'd think," noted in relation to Muse.
