Kimi K3.1 Pro launches at 4th on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index scoring 55, making large gains in agentic performance; it will be the leading open-weights model once its weights are published @Kimi_Moonshot's new reasoning model gains 11 points over Kimi K3 (max, 44). It trails only Claude Opus 5.5 (max with fallback, 58), Claude Sonnet 5.5 (max with fallback, 56), and Muse Wonder Full (max, 56) on the Intelligence Index. Once the weights for K3.1 Pro are released it will be the highest-scoring open weights model and the gap between the leading open weights and proprietary models on the Intelligence Index will narrow from 12 points to 3. Key results: โžค Large gains in agentic performance: Kimi K3.1 Pro scores 3rd on GDPval-AA with 1,846 Elo, up 312 Elo from Kimi K3, behind only Claude Opus 5.5 (1,866 Elo) and Muse Wonder Full (1,857 Elo). Kimi K3.1 Pro also achieves the highest score of any model on Terminal-Bench 4.0. K3.1 Pro scores 67%, up from 13% for Kimi K3 and ahead of Claude Sonnet 5.5 (64%). AutomationBench-AA, which tests agentic SaaS workflows, rises from 58% to 73%. โžค Gains in other evals are more moderate: Humanity's Last Exam rises from 47% to 52%, CritPt from 23% to 25%, and SciCode from 59% to 61%. AA-Omniscience Index rises from 20 to 30, as the hallucination rate falls from 53% to 44% and accuracy rises from 48% to 51%. โžค Cost per Task roughly equal to Kimi K3 at $1.98 per Task: K3.1 Pro uses 55K output tokens per Intelligence Index task, 14% more than Kimi K3 at 48K, while its first-party token prices are 33% lower. Additional model details: โžค Context window: 1M tokens. โžค Size: 2.8T total, 104B active parameters โžค Input modalities: Text and image โžค Weights and license: Weights currently not published, Moonshot is expected to release the weights soon after launch โžค Pricing: $2/$10/$0.20 per 1M input/output/cache hit tokens, 33% lower than Kimi K3 on all three rates. Congratulations to the team at @Kimi_Moonshot on the release!

I wanted one Mac window on my iPad, not my whole desktop, so I built Porthole. Pick a window and it streams over your Wiโ€‘Fi at up to 120fps. Use it like an iPad app: tap to click, drag to scroll, pinch to zoom. Works on iPhone and Android too. github.com/iamngoni/porthole

Mistral is back: -pushing the frontier on dollar per intelligence (1.13$ per task for a 38. mimo v2.6 pro gets 46 for 0.13$) -best open model out of us or europe (competition: nemotron 3 ultra 23, gemma 4 17, gpt-oss 12) -same score as gpt 6 luna. luna costs 0.07$ per task. 16x -#64 of 225 on artificial analysis. frontier -1 trillion parameters to land 3 points under GLM 5.3 flash (320B, 0.25$) -open weights (AA lists it as proprietary. weights oct 27) -most open license yet (large 3 apache 2.0, medium 3.5 modified mit, this one "custom mistral license") -only 8 points behind the best chinese open model and 20 behind opus 5.5 -beat glm 5.3 on deepswe, 62 to 61 (on mistrals chart. the live leaderboard has glm 5.3 at ~69) -state of the art in legal (15%) -highest cyber score of any model, 82% (opus 5.5 and astra refuse the task and score near zero) -same blog post brags it refuses more cyber prompts than any other open model -200M output tokens to run the index, median is 81M. le chonk talks -+29 points over large 3 (large 3 had 9) -sovereign ai (they resell glm 5.3 since august. until today the smartest model on mistrals own platform was chinese) -3 billion euro raised, 21 billion valuation, first model out of it: 38 -"no signs of saturation" (the rl run isnt finished, they shipped anyway) -the meme promised 30 trillion parameters. we got 1 (49B active) -europe can compete, said mensch. in abu dhabi -2nd of 5 in their own blind eval. behind opus 5. not 5.5

Please welcome GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna to the GPT-6 universe. GPT-6 Sol and Luna build on the advances behind GPT-6 Astra, bringing much of its strengths into faster and more affordable models to support work at scale. Weโ€™ve also made caching and inference more efficient, and weโ€™re passing the savings directly to you: 50% lower API prices for Sol and Luna compared with GPTโ€‘5.6 promotional pricing.

๐Ÿšจ Introducing ๐— ๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ก๐—” Today, we are releasing ๐— ๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ก๐—”, a new multilingual AI model built for African languages. ๐— ๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ก๐—” is a 1.5 billion parameter language model trained from scratch for 12 African languages, with its own tokenizer designed for Africa.
$40,000 worth of GPUs ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐— ๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ก๐—”: the largest African language model ever trained from scratch, at 1.5 billion parameters. Not a fine tune, this was trained from the ground up for Africa. ๐ŸŒ Trained on 12 African languages, it beats models from Google, Meta, Alibaba and HuggingFace on African language modelling and translation while being up to 8x smaller. ๐— ๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ก๐—” doesn't belong to us. The weights are open and free to use commercially, so researchers can build on a base that doesn't treat African languages as an afterthought. Weights in the comments. Thanks to @UNDP, @AIHub4SD and CINECA for the GPUs and the support. None of this happens without them.

If you want to understand how fast AI is improving, look at intelligence per dollar. 1.5 years ago: o1 Pro: $150 / $600 per M tokens Today: GLM-5.3 Flash: $0.15 / $0.50 Thatโ€™s a ~1000x collapse in price in under 1.5 years, while GLM-5.3 Flash is more intelligent than o1 Pro.

I've been using Astra all day, and it's definitely a step forward compared to Sol. It makes fewer mistakes, understands my codebase better, and asks more clarifying questions. Now waiting for @thsottiaux to give us another reset for the weekend so I can continue playing ๐Ÿ˜…
