Moonshot AI launched Kimi K3 on July 16, 2026 — a 2.8-trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with a 1-million-token context window that now sits third on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, ahead of Claude Opus 4.8 and behind only Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol. The full weights are promised by July 27, which would make K3 […]

On July 15, 2026, Thinking Machines Lab released Inkling — its first model trained from scratch and, notably, its first open-weight release. Founded in February 2025 by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, the lab is best known for the Tinker fine-tuning platform; Inkling is a 975-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model (41B active) published under the permissive Apache […]

On July 14, 2026, PrismML released Bonsai 27B — a pair of extreme-quantization builds of Alibaba’s Qwen3.6-27B that the company calls the first 27B-class model capable of running on a phone. The 1-bit variant fits in 3.9 GB and runs on an iPhone 17 Pro, while a higher-quality ternary variant fits in 5.9 GB for […]

OpenAI launched the GPT-5.6 family for general availability on July 9, 2026 — Sol (flagship), Terra (balanced), and Luna (fast and affordable) — following a two-week limited preview that began June 26 under a government safety review. The models post state-of-the-art results in coding, cybersecurity, and long-horizon knowledge work while using markedly fewer tokens than […]

OpenAI on July 8, 2026 launched GPT‑Live, a new generation of voice models now powering ChatGPT Voice. Built on a full-duplex architecture that listens and speaks at the same time, GPT‑Live‑1 and GPT‑Live‑1 mini are rolling out globally to ChatGPT users on iOS, Android, and the web starting today. The models replace the turn-based Advanced […]

On July 8, 2026, Mistral AI announced Robostral Navigate — the company’s first embodied navigation model and its formal entry into physical AI. The 8-billion-parameter model guides robots through complex environments using nothing but a single RGB camera and natural language instructions — no LiDAR, no depth sensors, and no pre-built maps. It sets a […]

Tencent has released Hy3, the full production version of its Hunyuan reasoning-and-agent model, following up on the Hy3 Preview that launched in late April 2026. Hy3 is a 295-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model with 21 billion active parameters, and it ships fully open-source under the Apache 2.0 license — weights, quantized variants, and inference recipes included. […]

Anthropic began redeploying Claude Fable 5 on July 1, 2026, after the U.S. Department of Commerce lifted the export controls that had forced the company to pull its most capable public model offline for roughly three weeks. The controls were first applied on June 12 after Amazon researchers demonstrated a way to bypass Fable 5’s […]

Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5 on June 30, 2026 — its “most agentic Sonnet model yet,” bringing performance close to the flagship Opus 4.8 while running at a fraction of the cost. The mid-tier model posts large gains over Sonnet 4.6 in coding, reasoning, tool use, and knowledge work, and ships with introductory pricing of […]

Meituan has open-sourced LongCat-2.0, a 1.6-trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model that the Chinese food-delivery giant says is the first model of its scale to complete both pre-training and inference entirely on domestic AI chips. Released on June 30, 2026, LongCat-2.0 had already been quietly topping OpenRouter’s usage charts under the codename “Owl Alpha” before its identity was […]

On June 26, 2026, researchers at UC San Diego’s Hao AI Lab released JetSpec — a speculative decoding method that accelerates large language model inference by up to 9.64× while leaving the model’s outputs unchanged. JetSpec trains a small “causal parallel draft head” on top of a frozen target model, generating a scored tree of […]

Anthropic launched Claude Tag on June 23, 2026 — a new way to work with Claude that turns the assistant into a persistent teammate inside Slack. Instead of opening a separate app, anyone in a channel can tag @Claude to delegate a task, ask a question, or hand off an unfinished thread. Claude breaks the […]
