Multimodal

MiniMax uploaded M3 weights to HuggingFace, with the tech report and full weights expected in about 10 days. It's a 428B-total-param, 23B-active-param hybrid model using MiniMax sparse attention to push the context window to 1M tokens, plus native multimodal support. Coding and agent scores: SWE-Bench Pro 59.0%, Terminal Bench 2.1 66.0%, SWE-fficiency 34.8%, KernelBench Hard 28.8%, MCP Atlas 74.2%. MiniMax Code tool and API platform launched alongside. The post doesn't disclose training data, inference cost, or license terms — I'd hold off on usability judgments until the report drops.

WSJ reports OpenAI is weighing steep price cuts as Anthropic gains ground with Claude Code, which enterprise teams are already weaving into daily coding workflows and burning through tokens. OpenAI has the bigger consumer brand, but enterprise pays the bills, so the price move targets developers. At the same time, OpenAI is preparing its biggest ChatGPT overhaul yet ahead of an IPO, aiming to turn it into a super-app spanning coding, AI agents, image generation, and business software. The rollout starts in the coming weeks. OpenAI is also pouring more resources into Codex, with its engineering lead talking about building a 'personal agent.' The post does not disclose specific price cuts or a timeline.

Lionsgate has taken an equity interest in Runway and the two will co-develop new IP, starting with a short-form episodic series that blends Lionsgate's existing IP with Runway's generative models. Lionsgate will also be a presenting partner at the Runway AI Festival. The deal builds on their first-of-its-kind partnership from September 2024, where Runway's tools were used for pre-visualization, storyboarding, and final-frame production. Lionsgate was the first Hollywood studio to partner with an applied AI research company, hire a Chief AI Officer, and build out AI infrastructure. Runway co-CEO Cristóbal Valenzuela stressed that studios serious about AI see it as a creative resource, not a cost-cutting tool.

Xiaomi open-sourced MiMo Code V0.1.0 under MIT license. The built-in MiMo-V2.5 multimodal model is free for a limited time and claims performance on par with Claude Sonnet 4.6; it also supports DeepSeek, Kimi, and GLM. Two standout features: a persistent memory system (project memory, session checkpoints, task progress) to avoid forgetting in long sessions, and a Compose mode for model-agent collaboration that hits 62% on SWE-Bench Pro (Claude Code scored 57%) and 73% on Terminal Bench 2. The post doesn't disclose how long the free period lasts or MiMo-V2.5's parameter count. Type `mimo` in the terminal to start; the UI is fully localized in Chinese.

OpenAI published a threat report on June 10 detailing two clusters of ChatGPT accounts likely originating from China, both banned for covert influence operations. One cluster, named 'Data Center Bandwagon,' generated posts claiming AI data centers were raising household electricity prices. The other, 'Tech and Tariffs,' criticized US tariffs as tech competition tactics and instructed outputs to mention only President Trump, not Xi Jinping. That second cluster also spread false claims of a ChatGPT user data breach, which OpenAI calls entirely fabricated. OpenAI found no evidence the operations shifted public opinion, but sees them as testing narratives against US AI infrastructure. The post does not disclose account counts, target platforms, or reach metrics.

Anthropic launched two models: Fable 5 for everyone and the full Mythos 5 for trusted partners only. SWE-bench Pro hit 80.3%, well above Opus 4.8's 69.2% and GPT 5.5's 58.6%. It beat Pokémon FireRed using only screenshots. Pricing is double Opus 4.8 at $10/M input and $50/M output. Early testers burned through quota 2–3x faster than Opus; one user drained 73% of a 5-hour allowance in under two hours. The safety classifier became the day's biggest complaint—asking '9.9−9.11=?' triggered a downgrade, and writing an analysis of Anthropic's own safety report got the request blocked entirely. The article had to be finished by DeepSeek V4 Pro. One member pegged the $200 Coding Plan as roughly $5K–10K in API value, calling it a short-lived arbitrage. GitHub Copilot added Fable 5 the same day but requires dropping zero data retention, a dealbreaker for some enterprises. Anthropic's April advisor tool—where a cheap model calls an expensive one for advice—turns out to be the right cost fix for Fable 5. A rice-blast experiment in the safety report also surfaced a shift: AI is flattening domain expertise, but the people who can spot when its answers are wrong are becoming more valuable.

Google released Gemini 3.5 Live Translate in public preview through the Gemini API, offering low-latency speech-to-speech translation across 70+ languages and 2,000 language pairs.

Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, a safety-treated Mythos-class model; in high-risk cyber, biochemistry, and distillation domains, it automatically falls back to Opus 4.8, with one trigger per 20 conversations on average.

Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens. Fable 5 leads FrontierCode among frontier models, while Mythos 5 reports about 10x acceleration in drug design and about 80% scientist preference in blinded molecular biology hypothesis tests.

Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5, calling it the most capable model it has ever released widely. It excels at software engineering, knowledge work, and vision, with its lead growing on longer, more complex tasks. This is the first broad release from the Mythos family, previously deemed too dangerous because of cybersecurity capabilities. New safeguards that block responses in specific high-risk areas made the release possible. The post doesn't disclose benchmarks, pricing, or a launch date.

Anthropic opened its most powerful model family to the public for the first time with Claude Fable 5, a version of Mythos. It excels at software engineering, knowledge work, and vision, but blocks responses in high-risk areas like cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, and distillation, falling back to Claude Opus 4.8. Mythos was previewed in April for select partners only due to cybersecurity concerns. The post doesn't spell out Fable 5's parameter count, pricing, or regional availability.

Google released Gemini 3.5 Live Translate, a speech-to-speech translation model that supports more than 70 languages, starts translating before the speaker finishes, uses streaming updates, and runs through Gemini Live API, Google Meet preview, and Google Translate apps on iOS and Android.

Google DeepMind released Gemma 4 12B, a multimodal model with a unified encoder-free architecture, native audio input, Apache 2.0 licensing, and local laptop runtime with 16GB of VRAM or unified memory.

A developer replaced a complex OCR pipeline with GPT-5.5, making 23,000+ ChinaRxiv papers freely available with more complete English translations.

Tencent Hunyuan released UniRL, using one post-training loop to cover diffusion and flow-matching models, LLM/VLM systems, and unified multimodal models, while open-sourcing two algorithms, DRPO and Flow-DPPO.

A coding agent chained ideogram-ai/ideogram4 and VAST-AI/TripoSplat to generate Paris monument images, reconstruct single-image 3D Gaussian splats as .ply files, convert them to .ksplat with about 3× smaller size, and deploy a static Three.js Space using APIs exposed through agents.md.

Runway introduced the Aleph 2.0 video editing model, letting users upload an existing video in its desktop web app, choose an aspect ratio, and have the model fill the remaining scene area for the selected format.

Mustafa Suleyman said superintelligence is coming without causing mass unemployment; Microsoft signed a new OpenAI contract last October and released seven omnimodal models at Build this week.

Bordair’s author says six months of detection-API traffic showed three recurring attack patterns: multi-turn setup, forward-momentum exploitation, and role redefinition; the public adversarial game produced roughly 6,700 attacks last month.

Amap released ABot-Earth0.5, a 3D-native city world model covering more than 190 countries and regions, generating kilometer-scale 3D cities from satellite images or text within 10 minutes on consumer GPUs.
