Google DeepMind revealed Gemini-2.5-Flash-Image-Preview, a state-of-the-art image editing model excelling in character consistency, natural-language edits, and multi-image composition, dominating the Image Edit Arena with a ~170-180 Elo lead and over 2.5M votes. It is integrated into multiple platforms including Google AI Studio and third-party services. Nous Research released Hermes 4, an open-weight hybrid reasoning model focused on steerability and STEM benchmarks. NVIDIA launched Nemotron Nano 9B V2, a hybrid Mamba-Transformer with 128k context, top-performing under 10B parameters, and released a 6.6T-token pretraining subset. InternVL3.5 introduced 32 vision-language models based on OpenAI's gpt-oss and Qwen3 backbones. Ollama v0.11.7 added DeepSeek v3.1 support with hybrid thinking and Turbo mode preview.

Databricks reached a $100 billion valuation, becoming a centicorn with new Data (Lakebase) and AI (Agent Bricks) products. OpenAI launched ChatGPT Go in India at ₹399/month (~$4.55), offering significantly increased usage limits and UPI payment support, with plans for global expansion. The DeepSeek V3.1 Base/Instruct models were quietly released on Hugging Face, showing strong coding benchmark performance and adopting an Anthropic-style hybrid system. The Qwen-Image-Edit model from Alibaba is gaining traction with integrations and community pruning experiments. "DeepSeek V3.1 Base outperforms Claude 4 Opus on coding benchmarks" and "ChatGPT Go offers 10x higher message limits and 2x longer memory" highlight key advancements.

Alibaba surprised with the release of Qwen-Image, a 20B MMDiT model excelling at bilingual text rendering and graphic poster creation, with open weights and demos available. Google DeepMind launched Gemini 2.5 Deep Think to Ultra subscribers, showing significant reasoning improvements and benchmark gains (+11.2% AIME, +13.2% HLE, +13.4% LiveCodeBench) rivaling OpenAI's o3 Pro. ByteDance's SeedProver achieved state-of-the-art math theorem proving results, surpassing DeepMind's AlphaGeometry2. OpenAI is developing a "universal verifier" for math and coding gains transfer. Competitive reasoning benchmarks and game arenas by Google and Kaggle highlight a meta-shift in reasoning model efficiency, comparable to the original Transformer leap. Other open-weight models gaining momentum include GLM-4.5, XBai o4, and Tencent Hunyuan with a focus on efficient training. "Qwen is all you need."

OpenAI's o1 model faces skepticism about open-source replication due to its extreme restrictions and unique training advances like RL on CoT. ChatGPT-4o shows significant performance improvements across benchmarks. Llama-3.1-405b fp8 and bf16 versions perform similarly with cost benefits for fp8. A new open-source benchmark "Humanity's Last Exam" offers $500K in prizes to challenge LLMs. Model merging benefits from neural network sparsity and linear mode connectivity. Embedding-based toxic prompt detection achieves high accuracy with low compute. InstantDrag enables fast, optimization-free drag-based image editing. LangChain v0.3 releases with improved dependency management. Automated code review tool CodeRabbit adapts to team coding styles. Visual search advances integrate multimodal data for better product search. Experts predict AI will be default software by 2030.
Gemini Pro and GPT4T Vision go GA on the same day by complete coincidence

At Google Cloud Next, Gemini 1.5 Pro was released with a million-token context window, available in 180+ countries, featuring 9.5 hours of audio understanding, a new File API for nearly unlimited free uploads, and the Gecko-1b-256/768 embedding model. GPT-4 Turbo with Vision became generally available in the API with a major update improving reasoning capabilities. Meta Platforms plans to launch smaller versions of Llama 3 next week. The Orca 2.5 7B model using Direct Nash Optimization outperforms older GPT-4 versions in AlpacaEval. New releases include Functionary-V2.4 with enhanced function calling and code interpretation, and CosXL models for image editing. Research highlights include continuous U-Nets for diffusion models achieving up to 80% faster inference and a massive multilingual dataset with ~5.6 trillion word tokens. Creative applications include a no-code touch screen game made with Gemini 1.5 and AI-generated novel trailers.
