#Model release

AIGoogle's Gemini 3 Deep Think (Preview) reaches 45.14% on ARC-AGI-2's semi-private eval at $77.16 per task. ARC Prize says this doubles the prior state of the art, with Gemini 3 Pro scoring 31.11% at $0.81 per task.

AIMoonshot AI released Kimi K2 Thinking, an open-source thinking model that interleaves step-by-step reasoning with tool calls across 200 to 300 sequential invocations. The model is a 1T-parameter mixture-of-experts with 32B activated parameters and a 256k context window, and it uses native INT4 quantization for roughly 2x faster generation. The model card reports benchmark results on HLE, BrowseComp, and other tests, and recommends vLLM, SGLang, or KTransformers for deployment.

Why it matters: The model card gives benchmark tables, quantization details, and deployment settings, letting readers compare Kimi K2 Thinking against GPT-5 and other models on specific tasks.

AIRunway announced Gen-4.5, a video generation model that it says holds the top position on the Artificial Analysis Text-to-Video benchmark with 1,247 Elo points. The model is available across all paid Runway plans at comparable pricing, and the post lists limitations including causal reasoning errors, object permanence failures, and success bias.

Why it matters: The post separates Runway's own ranking claim from the listed limitations, such as causal reasoning and object permanence errors, which helps judge where the model is reliable.

AIMoonshot AI released Kimi Linear, a hybrid linear attention architecture with 48B total and 3B activated parameters and a 1M-token context length, on Hugging Face. The model card reports up to 6.3x faster TPOT than MLA at 1M tokens and up to 75% lower KV cache needs, and says it outperforms full attention on long-context and RL-style benchmarks.

Why it matters: The model card gives concrete long-context speed and memory figures for a hybrid attention design, useful for judging whether linear attention can replace full attention in practice.

AIMoonshot AI has released Kimi-Linear-Base and Kimi-Linear-Instruct, both 48B total and 3B activated parameters with a 1M context length, on Hugging Face. The models use Kimi Delta Attention in a 3:1 hybrid ratio with global MLA, cutting KV cache by up to 75% and boosting decoding throughput by up to 6x at 1M tokens. The KDA kernel is open-sourced in FLA, and the checkpoints were trained on 5.7T tokens.

Why it matters: The model card gives concrete throughput and KV cache figures for a hybrid attention design, which helps readers weigh its long-context tradeoffs against full attention.

AICognition has released SWE-1.5, a model optimized for software engineering that it says reaches near-frontier coding performance while running at up to 950 tok/s with Cerebras inference. The company reports it is 6x faster than Haiku 4.5 and 13x faster than Sonnet 4.5, and it is available now in Windsurf. The post's SWE-Bench Pro chart places SWE-1.5 at 40.08%, behind Sonnet 4.5 at 43.60%, and it notes that the model was trained with reinforcement learning on the Cascade agent harness.

Why it matters: The post pairs a benchmark chart with a 950 tok/s speed claim and describes how harness, RL environments, and inference were co-designed, useful context for judging the speed-versus-quality tradeoff.

AICognition introduces SWE-grep and SWE-grep-mini, fast agentic models trained with reinforcement learning for multi-turn context retrieval in coding tasks. The company says they match frontier coding models at retrieval while taking an order of magnitude less time, and they power the Fast Context subagent in Windsurf. The models issue up to 8 parallel tool calls per turn within 4 turns, and Cerebras serves SWE-grep-mini at over 2,800 tokens per second and SWE-grep at over 650 tokens per second.

Why it matters: The post explains the speed-intelligence tradeoff in agentic code search, showing how parallel tool calls and RL training change the cost of retrieving context for coding agents.

AICognition says Claude Sonnet 4.5 is available in Devin starting today, improving its planning performance by 18% and end-to-end eval scores by 12%. Cognition says the model's testing of its own code lets Devin run longer and handle harder tasks.
