    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 […]

  • MiniMax M3: Frontier Coding, 1M Context, and Sparse Attention

    MiniMax M3: Frontier Coding, 1M Context, and Sparse Attention

    MiniMax released M3 on June 1, 2026, claiming the first open-weight model to combine frontier coding, a 1-million-token context window, and native multimodality in a single architecture. The headline is not just the benchmark sheet — it is the engine underneath: a new sparse-attention mechanism (MSA) that the company says cuts per-token compute at 1M […]

  • Thinking Machines Unveils Interaction Models for Real-Time Human-AI Collaboration

    Thinking Machines Unveils Interaction Models for Real-Time Human-AI Collaboration

    Thinking Machines Lab announced its first “interaction models” on May 11, 2026, unveiling TML-Interaction-Small — a 276B-parameter mixture-of-experts model (12B active) designed for real-time, multimodal collaboration. Rather than waiting for the user to finish speaking, the model interleaves 200-millisecond chunks of audio and video input with simultaneous output generation, eliminating the turn-taking pause that defines […]
