Thesys Releases OUI-1, a Diffusion Model That Writes UI Screens
Lead — On September 8, 2026, Thesys released OUI-1, a fine-tune of Google’s DiffusionGemma 26B-A4B that does one narrow thing: it writes user-interface screens in openui-lang, the declarative language behind the MIT-licensed OpenUI project. The model scores 71.7% on the Generative UI Benchmark against 13.0% for its base checkpoint — a 5.5x improvement — while […]

YuE2 Matches Suno v5 on Open Weights — With a Score You Can Edit
Multimodal Art Projection (M·A·P) published the weights for YuE2 on September 10, 2026 — a roughly 3.6-billion-parameter music generation model that turns a style prompt and lyrics into a complete 48 kHz stereo song, and, unusually, exposes the melody and chords it wrote as an editable score before rendering any audio. On WildSongBench, a 192-prompt […]
