Gemini 2.5 models are now generally available, including the new Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, Flash, Pro, and Ultra variants, featuring sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) transformers with native multimodal support. A detailed 30-page tech report highlights impressive long-horizon planning demonstrated by Gemini Plays Pokemon. The LiveCodeBench-Pro benchmark reveals frontier LLMs struggle with hard coding problems, while Moonshot AI open-sourced Kimi-Dev-72B, achieving state-of-the-art results on SWE-bench Verified. Smaller specialized models like Nanonets-OCR-s, II-Medical-8B-1706, and Jan-nano show competitive performance, emphasizing that bigger models are not always better. DeepSeek-r1 ties for #1 in WebDev Arena, and MiniMax-M1 sets new standards in long-context reasoning. Kling AI demonstrated video generation capabilities.

Anthropic launched general availability of tool use/function calling with support for streaming, forced use, and vision, alongside Amazon and Google. Alex Albert shared five architectures for agentic tool use: delegation, parallelization, debate, specialization, and tool suite experts. Anthropic also introduced a self-guided course on tool use. Yann LeCun emphasized ethical open science funding, gradual emergence of superintelligence with safety guardrails, and convolutional networks for image/video processing as competitive with vision transformers. He also noted growth in AI researchers across industry, academia, and government.
