Introducing EmbeddingGemma 2, a new open multimodal model that sets the standard for on-device efficiency. - our first open, natively multimodal embedding model - handles text, code, image, video, and audio tasks within a lightweight, modular 740M parameter form factor - ideal for offline, privacy-first RAG when paired with Gemma 4 - outperforms some specialist models more than twice its size Weights available now on Hugging Face.

Life satisfaction is highly consistent with personality traits. The top trait was "Have a lot of fun".

aq.dev. supports any model. switch models mid-conversation without losing context. bring your own subscriptions. it's in the cloud so works anywhere you go. sharing your work with anyone is dead simple. the list goes on.. everything else feels so outdated.

CUA-S1-FORMS is a tiny open-source specialist (706k params) for form decisions only: it scores FILL/CHECK/CLICK/SKIP from structured elements + document values, runs locally in 7-9 ms. Inspired by Jev's System One idea but trained independently on synthetic data. Jev is TypeSafe's general hosted decision model (Choice/Score/Noul with calibrated probs). On Cua's form task the specialist hit 99.7% vs Jev's 83.6% (expected—Jev wasn't tuned for it). CUA is narrow/local/open; Jev is broader/API-based.

Grok 4.7 needs a few more days to cook. We might have penalized response length too much (or something) in RL, as it still gives up on hard tasks (that it can do!) too early and isn’t yet sufficiently rigorous in checking its work.

Images 2.5 is here. I don't think it can solve super difficult math problems, but it is really good and we hope you enjoy it. openai.com/index/introducing…

Astra is very good at 3D modeling, and I can't wait for all of you to experience it, for now here is a little walkthrough on how I built the demo house for our launch blog post. From a Blender scene to a Unreal Engine 5 walkable experience. 🧵

When I ran payments at Airbnb, we could've easily built our own payment processor, but we chose to partner instead. It was much more economical (and reliable) to do so.
i get so many replies about people not understanding this the ideal place to be is not the bottom of the stack it's figuring out when to stop going lower because it's better to be a customer of everyone below you

this is a critically important moment for cyber defense with AI; there is not much time to act. we are happy if you want to work with us or any of our competitors or partners, but please take this moment seriously. only an urgent and intense collective response will work.

Grok 4.6 ranks #1 on CursorBench for real-world coding
Grok 4.6 just ranked #1 on CursorBench 3.2 Outperforming Claude Fable 5, Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on real-world coding performance And what makes this even crazier is the efficiency....the chart gives CursorBench performance against average cost per task, and Grok 4.6 is sitting right at the top of the frontier Grok 4.6 is insanely capable at coding....delivering frontier coding performance at ridiculous efficiency

I'll probably have a more thoughtful answer another time but the quick answer is that things are similar but not the same. What I mean by that is that we needed IDEs (and editors in general) to manipulate code. Now, we need harnesses to manipulate the models. If models end up "eating the harness", we'll need multiplayer ADEs to manipulate that new thing, which is btw what AQ.dev is really building. Things are similar but not the same. Thansk @JonLowTO for tagging me!

Introducing Muse Glimmer, an open-weight 30B-parameter model optimized for local, always-on agent workflows. Muse Glimmer delivers strong performance on key agentic use cases and benchmarks compared with leading models in its size category, and is designed to run entirely on consumer hardware like a Mac or PCs with performant GPUs. In keeping with our long tradition of sharing fundamental AI research, we’re releasing model weights under a permissive Apache 2.0 license. 🧵👇
