AIPerplexity's open-weights multimodal decision model, Decider v1.1, is now available on OpenRouter. It accepts text, JSON, or images and returns typed answers with probabilities, priced at $0.02 per million input tokens with free output. Perplexity says it scores highest on Hugging Face's new Decision Index 0.3 benchmark and costs half as much as v1.

AIAnthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, priced at $0.10 input and $0.50 output per million tokens up to 100,000 tokens, matching GPT-6 Luna. Beyond 100,000 tokens the price rises to $0.50 and $2.50, and the author found the new tokenizer uses about 1.25x as many tokens as Haiku 4.5 on the same long prompt. The model cannot disable reasoning and defaults to medium effort.

AIEnvato has launched Burst Mode, which starts from a rough idea or reference image and generates up to six image directions side by side. Users can steer those directions with moodboards and a creativity control ranging from focused to wild. Envato says it can produce up to six directions at once, up to 10× faster, for one AI credit.

AITogether with DeepSeek's model and kernels and NVIDIA's collaboration, vLLM reports that time to first token (TTFT) drops nearly 70% at roughly 100K throughput. The post credits Inferact and the vLLM community for the work and thanks SemiAnalysis for AgentX.

AIvLLM has integrated DeepSeek's MegaAttention, which uses NVFP4 KV cache and is 45% smaller, alongside Mega-mHC, Mega-Gate, and DeepSelect kernels. Its own fusions include a CuTe-DSL fused WO-A that lowers ITL by up to about 6–7%, and sparse MQA logits that run 14–23× faster per layer at 512K context.

AIAnthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot, a lightweight model built for fast, high-volume work such as subagents, quick edits, and terminal tasks. GitHub's early testing found it matched Claude Sonnet 5 on many coding tasks while using significantly fewer tokens and steps. It can be used in the GitHub Copilot app, CLI, or @code.

AIAnthropic has released Claude Haiku 5.5, its cheapest and fastest small model, priced at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens for prompts up to 100K tokens. It keeps a 1M token context window, up to 128K output tokens, and is generally available on the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, Microsoft Foundry and Claude Platform on AWS. Anthropic reports 72.4% on OSWorld 2.1 (offline subset) versus 15.7% for Haiku 4.5, and the article notes that non-default temperature, top_p or top_k values return a 400 error.

AIGPT-6 with Intelligent UI begins rolling out globally in the ChatGPT Chat tab for Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users today. The rollout expands to Free and Go tiers starting tomorrow. Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise get GPT-6 Sol, while Free and Go get GPT-6 Luna.

AIFal announced two Vidu Q4 video models, one for image-to-video and one for reference-to-video, now available to try on its platform. The post provides links to both model pages but no pricing, specs, or benchmark details.

AIOpenAI's GPT-6 Luna Decisions model is now available on OpenRouter, letting apps choose the right model, tool, or action from text, JSON, or images. It returns typed answers with probabilities, costs $0.10 per million input tokens, has a 1M-token context window, and output is free.

AIEnvato's new Burst mode turns a single idea into six image directions at once, for one AI credit, which the company says is up to 10× faster. Users can then refine a direction with "more like this" or pick a specific style with "polish."

AIOpenAI has rebuilt its plugin submission flow to provide clearer review feedback to developers. Developers can submit their plugins for review through the submission page on the OpenAI developer site.

AIAnthropic's lightweight Claude Haiku 5.5 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot for fast, high-volume tasks such as subagents, quick edits, and terminal work. In early testing, it matched Claude Sonnet 5 on many coding tasks while using significantly fewer tokens and steps. The model is billed at provider list pricing under usage-based billing and is available to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise users.

AIReplit is building a powerful desktop app with a focus on security and reliability, citing supply-chain attacks and catastrophic agent mistakes as risks of desktop AI apps. The company is partnering with Microsoft and will be an early adopter of Nvidia's OpenShell. A quoted Replit post says the desktop preview runs builds locally on Windows, with each build in its own sandbox powered by Microsoft Execution Containers and OpenShell, and offers a waitlist.

AISam Altman reposted an OpenAI announcement that GPT-6 and Intelligent UI are rolling out in ChatGPT for everyone. According to the quoted post, Intelligent UI produces fast, interactive answers with visual explanations and on-the-spot tools for tasks.

AIAWS has open sourced Strands Box, a local sandbox for AI agents. The author points readers to a blog post by Marc Brooker that covers design tradeoffs, how OS-level containment and Dogwood enable richer policies, and AWS's investment in agent safety.

AIA user tested Nano Banana 2.1 in Google Flow with an SCP-682 manga-style comic prompt and found the output consistent. The post highlights especially strong text rendering in the generated images.

AIGoogle's Nano Banana 2.1 image model rendered the words "Nano Banana" organically within the natural gaps of a monstera leaf in a photo, as shown by @fofrAI. The post highlights the model handling a subtle prompt involving nuanced text placement.

AIGoogle Flow says Nano Banana 2.1 brings improved prompt adherence, with the post itself offering little further detail. A quoted post from @AIWithRaza shows a sample image generated with Nano Banana 2.1, and the prompt is shared in the replies.

AIGoogle Flow's Nano Banana 2.1 is reported to have improved prompt comprehension, with a first test of the prompt "3 centaurs doing backflips" producing a shot the tester called perfect. The claim rests on a single informal example from the tester, @HarshithLucky3, and no benchmark or broader evaluation is cited.

AIGoogle Flow shows Nano Banana 2.1 rendering difficult textures such as dust in light, skin pores, water droplets, and backlit petals. The main post says the stills were made with Nano Banana 2.1 and the motion with Veo 3.1, all in Google Flow.

AIGoogle says users are already testing its newest image generation model, Nano Banana 2.1, and shares examples of the early results. The post provides no benchmark scores, pricing, or capability details.

AIGoogle Flow says its model excels at maintaining consistency after multiple edits. A test by @pleometric, reconstructing an image 100 times with the prompt "reconstruct this exactly as it is," found 2.1 best preserved the original subject compared with other Nano Banana models.

AISatya Nadella shared a Windows Experience blog post about building Windows for hybrid intelligence. The post content is not provided beyond the title and link, so no further details can be reported.

AIClaude 5.5 Haiku is now available in OpenCode and Go. The post does not give further details about features, pricing, or availability limits.

AIVercel says OpenAI's Decisions API is live on AI Gateway, answering yes/no, choice, and score questions for any decision model. Developers can access it through the gateway using the model identifier openai/gpt-6-luna-decisions.

AILocal sandboxing for GitHub Copilot is now generally available. It lets Copilot run commands in an isolated environment with controlled access to files, networks, system capabilities, and credentials. Enterprise teams can also centrally manage policies, and the feature is available in GitHub Copilot CLI, the GitHub Copilot app, and @code.

AIOpenAI Developers shared a post showing the arcade game Discs of Tron running on the OpenAI DevDay edition ModRetro Chromatic. According to the quoted post, the game was implemented fully in the Chromatic's reprogrammable FPGA logic, one shot by Codex GPT 6 Astra.
