Mistral has launched the Mistral 3 family including Ministral 3 models (3B/8B/14B) and Mistral Large 3, a sparse MoE model with 675B total parameters and 256k context window, all under an Apache 2.0 open license. Early benchmarks rank Mistral Large 3 at #6 among open models with strong coding performance. The launch includes broad ecosystem support such as vLLM, llama.cpp, Ollama, and LM Studio integrations. Meanwhile, Anthropic acquired the open-source Bun runtime to accelerate Claude Code, which reportedly reached a $1B run-rate in ~6 months. Anthropic also announced discounted Claude plans for nonprofits and shared insights on AI's impact on work internally.

DeepMind released Genie 3, an interactive multimodal world simulator with advanced spatial memory and real-time avatar control, and SIMA, an embodied training agent operating inside generated worlds. Alibaba introduced Qwen-Image-Edit, an open-weights image editor scoring ELO 1098 (#2) in the Image Editing Arena, running on Qualcomm NPUs, alongside Qwen-VL-Max entering the Vision top-20. Video models like Kling 2.1 showed a 235% improvement in frame control, with new entrants Luma Ray 2 and Runway Gen-4 Turbo debuting. Google provided free Veo 3 generations in Gemini App and enhanced Google Photos with natural-language edits. DeepSeek v3.1 launched with focus on SWE and Search agents, supporting local inference on Apple Silicon with 4-bit quantization achieving ~21 tok/s on M3 Ultra. The news highlights advances in interactive simulation, vision editing, video synthesis, and scalable local AI inference.

DeepSeek R1-0528 release brings major improvements in reasoning, hallucination reduction, JSON output, and function calling, matching or surpassing closed models like OpenAI o3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro on benchmarks such as Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, LiveBench, and GPQA Diamond. The model ranks #2 globally in open weights intelligence, surpassing Meta AI, Anthropic, and xAI. Open weights and technical transparency have fueled rapid adoption across platforms like Ollama and Hugging Face. Chinese AI labs including DeepSeek, Alibaba, ByteDance, and Xiaomi now match or surpass US labs in model releases and intelligence, driven by open weights strategies. Reinforcement learning post-training is critical for intelligence gains, mirroring trends seen at OpenAI. Optimized quantization techniques (1-bit, 4-bit) and local inference enable efficient experimentation on consumer hardware. New benchmarks like LisanBench test knowledge, planning, memory, and long-context reasoning, with OpenAI o3 and Claude Opus 4 leading. Discussions highlight concerns about benchmark contamination and overemphasis on RL-tuned gains.
