Tencent Releases Hy3: 295B Open MoE Model Under Apache 2.0
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 Redeploys Claude Fable 5 as U.S. Lifts Export Controls
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 Launches Claude Sonnet 5, Closing the Gap With Opus
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 Open-Sources LongCat-2.0, a 1.6T Model Trained on Chinese Chips
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 […]

JetSpec: Causal Parallel Tree Drafting Hits 9.64x Faster LLM Inference
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 Launches Claude Tag, an AI Teammate That Lives in Slack
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 […]

OpenAI and Broadcom Unveil Jalapeño, a Custom LLM Inference Chip
OpenAI and Broadcom on June 24, 2026 unveiled Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom-designed silicon — an “Intelligence Processor” built from scratch for large language model inference. The chip is the first product of the companies’ 10-gigawatt accelerator partnership announced last October, and OpenAI says it was taken from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine […]

FastWan Generates a 5-Second Video in 5 Seconds via Sparse Distillation
FastWan generates a 5-second video in about 5 seconds on a single GPU — and the team at UC San Diego’s Hao AI Lab did it by training the model to be fast rather than patching speed on at inference time. Released under Apache-2.0 with full weights, training recipes, and datasets, FastWan introduces Sparse Distillation: […]

OpenAI Opens GPT-5.5-Cyber to Vetted Defenders via Trusted Access
OpenAI released GPT‑5.5‑Cyber on May 7, 2026 — a limited-preview variant of its flagship model with relaxed safety guardrails for vetted cybersecurity defenders. The launch expands OpenAI’s Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) program, a tiered access framework that loosens the model’s refusal boundary for verified security professionals working on authorized defensive tasks, while still blocking […]

Krea 2: A From-Scratch Foundation Image Model With Style Control
Krea released Krea 2 on May 12, 2026 — its first foundation image model built completely from scratch, focused on aesthetics, style control, and creative direction. Built on a 12-billion-parameter Diffusion Transformer, Krea 2 ships as a family of variants (Medium, Large, and a 2-second Turbo) with two checkpoints — Raw and Turbo — released […]
