Google has released Gemini 3.7 Flash, a refinement of Gemini 3.6 Flash with algorithmic improvements to its reasoning core. It handles text, images, audio, and video across a 1M-token context window with 64K-token output, and supports customizable thinking configurations. Coding results move notably: 43.6% on FrontierCode 1.1 Main versus 34.4%, 65.3% on DeepSWE v1.1, and 1588 Elo on WebDev Arena. Document and workflow evals gain more — GDP.pdf goes from 22.0% to 34.0%, AutomationBench from 17.0%...

LTX, the open world model company spun out of Lightricks, today released LTX-2.5, the newest version of its open-weights video and "world" model and it arrives natively integrated into ComfyUI, the node-based workflow tool that has become the de facto prototyping environment for open generative media, through a strategic day-one launch partnership between the two companies. The model is available now as open weights on Hugging Face, inside ComfyUI, and through the LTX API for teams that want man...

Hugging Face isn’t doing much to prevent the AI models it hosts from spitting out sexualized deepfakes. | Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photos from Getty Images Hugging Face is being used to make nonconsensual deepfakes, and the popular open-source AI model repository is doing very little to prevent it. That's according to a new report published by the European nonprofit AI Forensics, which found that seven out of the top nine image editing models hosted by Hugging Face readily complied wit...

After a stunning debut last week with cyber capabilities so advanced they reportedly found a previously undetected vulnerability in Cursor, GLM-5.3, the new frontier open source language model from Chinese startup z.ai, has now hit the application programming interface (API) — allowing developers the ability to build atop it and plug it into their agents and applications. Developers who previously subscribed to a GLM Coding Plan are currently limited to the OpenAI Chat Completions-compatible pro...

To quote an ancient Jedi Master "Begun, the AI price wars have!" OpenAI is sharply reducing the prices of two models in its GPT-5.6 frontier series, cutting GPT-5.6 Luna, the smallest and fastest model in the series, by 80% and GPT-5.6 Terra, the mid-tier model, by 20%, while adding a premium Fast mode for its flagship GPT-5.6 Sol model. The cuts place Luna much closer to the lowest-cost commercial models in the market and arrive just a few days after Anthropic released its highly performant Cla...

A new benchmark, Sci-VBench, has been introduced to evaluate video generation AI specifically for scientific accuracy and causal reasoning, not just visual appeal. This standard uses expert-annotated data across diverse scientific fields to test if AI models can truly understand and represent complex scientific concepts in video format.

Anthropic, the company behind the AI model Claude, is introducing an invisible watermarking technology for text generated by its large language models. This move, leveraging Google DeepMind's open-source SynthID-Text, aims to meet new European AI regulations requiring clear identification of AI-generated content. For SMBs, this signals a broader industry shift towards transparency in AI.
