Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 doesn't generate images the way other AI models do. Instead of computing pixels, the language model writes Python code that places hundreds of thousands of simulated brushstrokes on a virtual canvas, complete with bristle texture and paint application. A single photorealistic parking garage scene took roughly 700,000 strokes, according to Anthropic employee Jake Eaton.
Meituan has released the weights for LongCat-2.5, a 1.6-trillion-parameter model built for AI agents and trained entirely on Chinese hardware. On Terminal Bench, it scores 88.4 points, landing just behind Claude Opus 5. The sample deployment runs on 194 Huawei Ascend chips, and Meituan makes no mention of Nvidia GPUs.
For the first time in a while, no OpenAI model leads the MathArena AI math benchmark. Google's Gemini 4 Carbon and Anthropic's Fable 5.2 have knocked GPT-6.1 Sol from the top, though both cost significantly more. Gemini ignored the time limit in testing and almost never gave up on a task.
Runway releases its robotics model Praxis-1 with open weights and source code under the Apache 2.0 license. The model uses knowledge from video training for robot control and leads the World Action Model category on Nvidia's RoboLab-120 benchmark. It can't yet plan complex action sequences on its own, though.
Release: llm-gemini 0.37 Google launched Gemini 4 Hydrogen today - the lowest cost member of the Gemini 4 family. It's actually not too far off the price of its much bigger siblings, Carbon and Argon. I'm finding Gemini 4's pricing really confusing.
Google's Gemini 4 Hydrogen replaces the Flash series, but benchmarks suggest it also makes the pricier Argon obsolete. On the independent Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, Hydrogen nearly matches Claude Sonnet 5.5 for less money but costs about 2.5 times more per task than GPT-6.1 Sol and still falls short on agentic coding.
Google says its new Gemini 4 Hydrogen model can give more helpful answers to complex questions, including "questions with multiple parts, hard-to-understand typos, or highly specific requests." The new model can break down your questions and address each part in its responses.
Gemini 4 Hydrogen isn't getting a slow, security-conscious release like Carbon and Argon.
LLMs rely on their context to generate the next set of tokens. To address this, we developed LLMON (LLM Object Notation, pronounced “lemon”), an LLM-native markup language for explicitly communicating structure and semantics to the models.
Hydrogen brings cutting-edge intelligence to everyone. Today, we’re introducing Gemini 4 Hydrogen, bringing cutting-edge intelligence to everyone — with speed and efficiency for everyday coding and agentic workflows.
Powered by Gemini 4 Hydrogen, Google's AI Mode is getting better at understanding complex queries, surfacing relevant links, and delivering richer visual responses.
Google Deepmind has unveiled AlphaGenome 2, an AI model that analyzes genetic variants for individual cell types rather than across bulk tissue. Trained on more than 107 million cell profiles, it identifies nearly twice as many disease-relevant gene changes as its predecessor.
ElevenLabs has released Scribe v3 and Scribe v3 Live, two new speech recognition models designed to transcribe accurately through background noise and crosstalk. Benchmarks from Artificial Analysis confirm that Scribe v3 narrowly beats competitors like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft on accuracy. That precision comes at a cost, though.
Google enters the decision model market. At AI Engineer, Cloudflare showed which parts of a build failure a classifier could handle. TypeSafe AI showed off their production customers.
Gemini Decisions API Google join Jev and OpenAI in the decision model category with "Gemini Decision 1". This new model API is almost identical to Jev: it supports the same three types of questions (yes/no, choice, and rubric-scoring) and even reuses Jev's term "Noul" for a yes/no question.
Google Deepmind's new Gemini Decisions API evaluates up to 1,000 closed-ended questions in a single pass across text, images, audio, and video. Gemini Decision 1 returns results in 150 to 250 milliseconds at roughly five times lower cost than Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, according to Google.
Predicting how DNA sequences and their variations impact specific human cell types and disease.
Researchers at Google DeepMind have unveiled a new AI model designed to unravel how changes in our DNA affect different cells, giving scientists a more detailed view of a notoriously difficult problem that could hold important clues to the causes of disease - and point the way to new treatments.
Tether AI Research introduces BotPsy, a 0.8B-parameter model designed for function calling and agentic workflows, built on top of Qwen3.5-0.8B and suitable for on-device deployment.

Release: llm-gemini 0.36 Gemini 4 Carbon was announced two weeks ago for "a subset of cyber defenders", but today it's available to everyone else .
Google Deepmind introduced Gemini Robotics 2.5, a new control model for robots, and tested it with Apptronik on active Mercedes-Benz production lines in Hungary and Germany. The humanoid robot Apollo 2 sorted metal parts there with a reported success rate of 96 percent.
Google is making Gemini 4 Carbon generally available after a two-week testing phase. The model ranks first in several benchmarks, in some cases ahead of Anthropic's new Fable 5.2, at less than half the per-task cost. Google is also previewing coordinated agent teams through the "/swarm" feature, which split up complex tasks in real time.
Nvidia's new AI model GR00T 2 is designed to teach robots new tasks without laborious teleoperation. Instead, the system transfers human hand movements from videos to robotic arms, trained on about 400,000 hours of video footage. Success rates still vary widely, though, ranging from 10 to 80 percent depending on the task.
NaiveAI could potentially top Artificial Analysis’s speed rankings. Our hands-on test suggests its coding quality holds up against DeepSeek.
The new model is up to twice as successful at some tasks.
Today, we’re making Gemini 4 Carbon available to developers, enterprises, scientists, and consumers. Carbon is our strongest model with frontier performance in cybersecurity capabilities and long-horizon agentic workflows across complex knowledge work, software engineering, and scientific reasoning.
Google is rolling out its latest AI model, Gemini 4 Carbon, to the general public after releasing it to a select group of "cybersecurity defenders" two weeks ago. Google claims Carbon is its "strongest model" yet, and capable of competing with the very best systems from Anthropic and OpenAI.
Anthropic's Fable 5.2 completes 41.3 percent of real freelance jobs at professional quality on the Remote Labor Index, more than double the next-best systems Opus 5.5 and GPT 6 Astra. A year ago the top score was 2.5 percent. Areas like product design and animation remain a weak spot.
