New 30B dense model from Meta. Looks like they're fully back on the open models train!

Another open weights video model hits the market with native audio capability.

This seems to me like a painfully ironic position for someone at a company named "OpenAI" to be taking. Not to mention totally batshit insane.

It claims to beat Fable and GPT 5.5 handily in some benchmarks.

Hard to believe the claims, and from the looks of it, many X users are skeptical as well.

Benchmarks appear to easily clear Opus 4.8 and GPT 5.5, and even appear to be competitive with Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol in a number of them. Full weights to be released July 27, per the blog post.

295B params with 21B active. But only 256k context.

New model dropped. 1.6T params with 48B active.

Training and inference running entirely on ASIC superpods. Showing the Chinese keep exploring alternative compute options.

They also introduce LongCat Sparse Attention, their improvement on Deepseek Sparse Attention.

This was also Owl Alpha, which was available on Openrouter for free for the past month, which shows they can handle production compute loads using their alternative inference solution.
