OpenAI rolled out Codex to ChatGPT Plus users with internet access and fine-grained controls, improving memory features for free users. Anthropic's Claude 4 Opus and Sonnet models lead coding benchmarks, while Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro and Flash models gain recognition with new audio capabilities. Qwen 2.5-VL and Qwen 3 quantizations are noted for versatility and support. Bing Video Creator launched globally enabling text-to-video generation, and Perplexity Labs sees increased demand for travel search. New agentic AI tools and RAG innovations include LlamaCloud and FedRAG. Open-source releases include Holo-1 for web navigation and PlayAI's PlayDiffusion for speech editing. Audio and multimodal advances feature Suno's music editing upgrades, Google's native TTS in 24+ languages, and Universal Streaming's ultra-low latency speech-to-text. Google NotebookLM now supports public notebooks. "Codex's internet access brings tradeoffs, with explicit warnings about risk" and "Gemini 2.5 Pro is cited as a daily driver by users".

Silas Alberti of Cognition announced DeepWiki, a free encyclopedia of all GitHub repos providing Wikipedia-like descriptions and Devin-backed chatbots for public repos. Meta released Perception Encoders (PE) with A2.0 license, outperforming InternVL3 and Qwen2.5VL on vision tasks. Alibaba launched the Qwen Chat App for iOS and Android. Hugging Face integrated the Dia 1.6B SoTA text-to-speech model via FAL. OpenAI expanded deep research usage with a lightweight version powered by o4-mini model, now available to free users. Perplexity AI updated their model selector with Grok 3 Beta, o4-mini, and support for models like gemini 2.5 pro, claude 3.7, and gpt-4.1. vLLM project introduced OpenRLHF framework for reinforcement learning with human feedback. Surya OCR alpha model supports 90+ languages and LaTeX. MegaParse open-source library was introduced for LLM-ready data formats.

OpenAI announced that o3 and o4-mini models will be released soon, with GPT-5 expected in a few months, delayed for quality improvements and capacity planning. DeepSeek introduced Self-Principled Critique Tuning (SPCT) to enhance inference-time scalability for generalist reward models. Anthropic's Sonnet 3.7 remains a top coding model. Google's Gemma 3 is available on KerasHub, and Qwen 2.5 VL powers a new Apache 2.0 licensed OCR model. Gemini 2.5 Pro entered public preview with increased rate limits and pricing announced, becoming a preferred model for many tasks except image generation. Meta's architectural advantage and the FrontierMath benchmark challenge AI's long-form reasoning and worldview development. Research reveals LLMs focus attention on the first token as an "attention sink," preserving representation diversity, demonstrated in Gemma 7B and LLaMa 3.1 models. MegaScale-Infer offers efficient serving of large-scale Mixture-of-Experts models with up to 1.90x higher per-GPU throughput.
Cohere's Command A claims #3 open model spot (after DeepSeek and Gemma)

Cohere's Command A model has solidified its position on the LMArena leaderboard, featuring an open-weight 111B parameter model with an unusually long 256K context window and competitive pricing. Mistral AI released the lightweight, multilingual, and multimodal Mistral AI Small 3.1 model, optimized for single RTX 4090 or Mac 32GB RAM setups, with strong performance on instruct and multimodal benchmarks. The new OCR model SmolDocling offers fast document reading with low VRAM usage, outperforming larger models like Qwen2.5VL. Discussions highlight the importance of system-level improvements over raw LLM advancements, and MCBench is recommended as a superior AI benchmark for evaluating model capabilities across code, aesthetics, and awareness.

The AIE Summit in NYC highlighted key talks including Grace Isford's Trends Keynote, Neo4j/Pfizer's presentation, and OpenAI's first definition of Agents. Speakers announced $930 million in funding. On AI Twitter, discussions focused on Grok-3 and o3-mini models, with debates on performance and benchmarking, including Grok-3's record compute scale of 4e26 to 5e26 FLOP. The o3-mini model uncovered a critical CUDA kernel bug in Sakana AI's code. DeepSeek-R1 was promoted as an open-source alternative with notable training batch sizes. Additionally, Alibaba announced the Qwen 2.5-VL model release.
