Google has released Gemini 3.7 Flash, a refinement of Gemini 3.6 Flash with algorithmic improvements to its reasoning core. It handles text, images, audio, and video across a 1M-token context window with 64K-token output, and supports customizable thinking configurations. Coding results move notably: 43.6% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main versus 34.4%, 65.3% on DeepSWE v1.1, and 1588 Elo on WebDev Arena. Document and workflow evals gain more — GDP.pdf goes from 22.0% to 34.0%, AutomationBench from 17.0%...

LTX, the open world model company spun out of Lightricks, today released LTX-2.5, the newest version of its open-weights video and "world" model and it arrives natively integrated into ComfyUI, the node-based workflow tool that has become the de facto prototyping environment for open generative media, through a strategic day-one launch partnership between the two companies. The model is available now as open weights on Hugging Face, inside ComfyUI, and through the LTX API for teams that want man...

Hugging Face isn’t doing much to prevent the AI models it hosts from spitting out sexualized deepfakes. | Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photos from Getty Images Hugging Face is being used to make nonconsensual deepfakes, and the popular open-source AI model repository is doing very little to prevent it. That's according to a new report published by the European nonprofit AI Forensics, which found that seven out of the top nine image editing models hosted by Hugging Face readily complied wit...

Google is rolling out Gemini 3.7 Flash, a new version of its workhorse AI model that puts coding, agentic workflows and knowledge work at the center of the upgrade — while temporarily cutting API prices in half. The release arrives just three weeks after the release of Gemini 3.6 Flash, an unusually short turnaround that Google attributes to developer feedback and algorithmic improvements. For enterprise developers, the more consequential story may be the combination of those intelligence gains ...

Meta today released Muse Glimmer, a 30-billion-parameter open-weight model designed to run autonomous AI agents directly on consumer hardware — pushing agentic workloads that normally depend on cloud infrastructure onto high-end Macs and PCs. Just as notable as what the model does is how it's licensed. Glimmer arrives under the permissive, industry-standard Apache 2.0 open source license — the company's first fully open release since it succeeded its open-weight Llama family in April with the pr...

Google DeepMind and Google Research have developed WeatherNext, an AI model that significantly improves hurricane path predictions. It accurately forecast Hurricane Melissa's intensification and landfall a full day earlier than existing models, providing communities with critical extra time for evacuation and preparation. This advancement, detailed in Nature, could save lives by offering earlier, more precise warnings.

After a stunning debut last week with cyber capabilities so advanced they reportedly found a previously undetected vulnerability in Cursor, GLM-5.3, the new frontier open source language model from Chinese startup z.ai, has now hit the application programming interface (API) — allowing developers the ability to build atop it and plug it into their agents and applications. Developers who previously subscribed to a GLM Coding Plan are currently limited to the OpenAI Chat Completions-compatible pro...

Google DeepMind's research team has leveraged AI and optimization techniques to achieve the best-ever upper bound for the 'exponent' that measures matrix multiplication speed. This fundamental breakthrough, while highly technical, underpins the efficiency of all AI and machine learning processes, potentially paving the way for faster and more power-efficient AI models in the future.

To quote an ancient Jedi Master "Begun, the AI price wars have!" OpenAI is sharply reducing the prices of two models in its GPT-5.6 frontier series, cutting GPT-5.6 Luna, the smallest and fastest model in the series, by 80% and GPT-5.6 Terra, the mid-tier model, by 20%, while adding a premium Fast mode for its flagship GPT-5.6 Sol model. The cuts place Luna much closer to the lowest-cost commercial models in the market and arrive just a few days after Anthropic released its highly performant Cla...

Anthropic, the company behind the AI model Claude, is introducing an invisible watermarking technology for text generated by its large language models. This move, leveraging Google DeepMind's open-source SynthID-Text, aims to meet new European AI regulations requiring clear identification of AI-generated content. For SMBs, this signals a broader industry shift towards transparency in AI.
