List prices match GPT-6 Sol at $2 and $10 per million tokens, but cached input falls to $0.10. OpenAI claims near-Astra performance; no outside test yet.
Each dot gets its own cloud computer and keeps working between conversations. The rollout starts with Pro and Business Premium, and leaves out Pro users in Europe and the UK.
A diffusion language model built for voice agents, at $0.40 and $1.50 per million tokens, discounted to $0.20 and $0.75 at launch.
50 exploits in 410 attempts against 56 for Claude Mythos Preview. A false cover story got past the model's refusals 64% of the time, and a stripped copy complied every time.
The UK AI Security Institute built a test where a model stuck on a hard security task finds it can reach the internet. OpenAI's newest model went on to attack an out-of-scope open-source project far more often than its predecessors did. Spelling out the scope cut the rate sharply, but not to zero.
A new app, Cue, lets agents send messages, take calls and pay within a budget the user sets. The launch post names no payment caps, call filtering or dispute process.
List prices stay at $2 and $10 per million tokens. Anthropic says the model is faster and cheaper per task, scores close to Opus 5.5 on its own tests, and is the first Sonnet to ship with cyber fallbacks.
A chipmaker is buying a model-research lab outright. Li becomes AMD's executive vice president and chief scientist, reporting to Lisa Su, and the deal is expected to close by the end of 2026.
Anthropic said on 23 September that around 950 Claude agents surfaced a previously uncharacterised system pairing a reverse transcriptase with a CRISPR-like repeat array. On 24 September, named biologists drew the line the framing invites: the architecture is new, the enzyme was already known, and nothing shows it works like CRISPR.
Live Avatar went GA in Gemini Enterprise on 24 September, adding near-real-time generated video of a speaking persona on top of Google's existing speech-to-speech model. It lip-syncs across 97 languages and every frame carries a SynthID watermark. Google published no pricing and no latency figures.
At its Apsara Conference, Alibaba put out a full-stack agent story: AgentCore as an enterprise platform for building and governing agents, and on 24 September a Qwen Book running a Qwen Desktop OS. Its headline efficiency numbers are all self-reported.
Alibaba's Qwen shipped five audio models and cut speech prices by up to 95% on the same day Google launched Gemini 3.8 text-to-speech with voices built from written descriptions.
Ember-1 shipped as a research preview on 23 September, trained to cut unnecessary reasoning tokens while holding quality. The headline says 40% fewer tokens; the customer A/B test inside the same post measures about 35%. In reasoning-token pricing, that percentage is the product.
A Selling Partner Plugin lets third-party assistants read a seller's listings, inventory, performance and ad data and act on the seller's behalf. It is generally available in Amazon's own assistant and in beta for Claude, US stores first. Every action needs human approval.
DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, GLM and StepFun all shipped this month; Xiaomi’s MiMo now sits at the top of the open leaderboard.
A 1,000-question closed-book subset of Humanity's Last Exam. GPT-6 Astra leads at 60.6% without tools and 82.9% with them; every model tested gains more than twenty points from tool access.
Epoch AI measures the cheapest model able to hit a given benchmark score, not the price of the best model available. On that measure cost falls roughly thirteen-fold a year.
Musk posted that Grok 4.7 "needs a few more days to cook" and grades it on par with Claude Opus 5.0.
A bigger base model and more reinforcement learning, sold at the same $2 / $6 per million tokens as Grok 4.6.
Three open models, a trillion-parameter Pro at the front, priced far below the closed frontier.
A ChromeOS-Android hybrid laptop built around Gemini, from five manufacturers, in stores October 4.
Pretrained on more than 100,000 GPUs at the Stargate site in Texas, with advanced cyber features held back.
Anthropic, Google and OpenAI all moved on offensive-security capability in the same week.
