What happens when the cheapest, powerful models VANISH overnight? With Beijing potentially pulling the plug on sending open-source models overseas, we asked two founder/experts — Anastasios Angelopoulos of Arena AI and Munjal Shah of Hippocratic AI — about the potential impact on American AI development. Plus why your evals might be worth more than your model, a new way to think about latency vs. intelligence, and the benefits of running 31 models at once. cc: @ml_angelopoulos, @munjalshah, @arena, @hippocraticai, @alex 0:00 Will US companies lose access to Chinese models? 1:42 Open source makes running 31 models viable 5:01 How deep is the West's open source bench? 13:20 Jagged Intelligence and why post-training matters 25:22 Benchmarks as living quality checks 32:49 Why models still struggle with drug names 42:58 Fine-tuning TV, cough, and sob detection 46:08 What is Arena actually selling? 1:08:29 Nationalization vs. buying stakes in AI companies 🎥 Watch the full episode here 👇



We’re excited to introduce Muse Spark 1.1, a significant upgrade from the first Muse Spark model we released earlier this year. Along with this release, we are launching a public preview of the new Meta Model API where developers can access Muse Spark 1.1. The model is also available now in "Thinking" mode in the Meta AI app and on meta.ai. Learn more: go.meta.me/ff8e2c

As AI models master existing benchmarks, researchers are racing to design harder tests that can keep pace. Read more in our AI Agenda newsletter: thein.fo/3QQtGDq Not a subscriber? You can sign up for a free AI Agenda trial here: thein.fo/4fwcaxz





Announcing Grok 4.5, our first model trained specifically for coding and agents. It was trained with Cursor and offers frontier intelligence at leading speeds and cost efficiency. x.ai/news/grok-4-5



Sol, Terra, and Luna, our GPT‑5.6 family of models, are starting to roll out now in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API.

Seedream-5.0 Pro enters the Multi-Image Edit Arena at #2 with 1415 pts. Strong improvement compared to Seedream-4.5 (#11 -> #2)!

Exciting news: @OpenAI’s GPT-5.6-sol is now joint #1 in the Code Arena: Frontend, matching Claude Fable 5! This marks the first time an OpenAI model has reached the top spot in Code Arena, demonstrating major gains in agentic coding, frontend and web app development. Highlights: - Significant improvement from GPT-5.5-xhigh (#18 -> #1) - #1 in Data & Analytics, Brand Marketing, Consumer product, and Gaming - Priced at $5/$30 per million input/output tokens - roughly 2× cheaper than Claude Fable 5 Huge congrats to the @OpenAI team for this incredible milestone!
