    Anthropic halves Sonnet 5.5 cache read prices on Claude Platform

    AIAnthropic has cut Sonnet 5.5 cache read pricing in half to $0.10 per million tokens, with input at $2 and output at $10 per million tokens. The company says this makes Sonnet 5.5 roughly 20% cheaper on most agentic work. The change applies to API usage only and does not alter Claude Code usage limits.

    Claude Code v2.1.295 adds hook failure blocking and gateway controls

    AIClaude Code v2.1.295 adds onFailure: "block" for command and HTTP hooks, so a hook that cannot start, times out, or exits unexpectedly blocks the action. The release also adds an optional models list for Claude apps gateway upstreams, plus upstream_request_id in the inference audit event, and fixes a range of MCP, plugin, and terminal issues.

    GPT-6 Sol (Daybreak Blue) tops Artificial Analysis Cyber Index

    AIGPT-6 Sol (Daybreak Blue, max) has been added to the Artificial Analysis Cyber Index as a trusted-access model and ranks #1 on the Index. Compared with the publicly available GPT-6 Sol, it shows its largest gains on CyberGym-E2E, the benchmark where the most safety refusals are observed.

    Sol Ultrafast for GPT-6.1 Sol is now live on OpenRouter

    AIOpenRouter now offers Sol Ultrafast, a version of GPT-6.1 Sol, available through its platform. According to OpenAI Devs, the Ultrafast mode delivers near-Astra intelligence at up to 8x the speed of Sol Standard and is rolling out in the API, Codex, and ChatGPT Work.

    Harvey LAB-AA v1.1 adds hallucination gate; Grok 4.7 leads at 9.4%

    AISherwin Wu, an OpenAI employee, says the updated Harvey LAB-AA v1.1 benchmark, announced by Artificial Analysis with Harvey, is more useful than the original LAB results. The new Hallucination-Gated All-Pass Rate credits a task only when every rubric criterion passes and no material hallucination appears. Grok 4.7 (xhigh) leads at 9.4%, while GPT-6 Astra (max) at 8.6% has very few material hallucinations.

    Why it matters: The update adds a hallucination gate to a legal benchmark, showing that models with high all-pass rates can rank much lower once material errors count.

    Anthropic launches Claude Dashboards and Motion features in beta

    AIAnthropic launched two beta features for Claude: Dashboards, which turns connected data sources like BigQuery, Databricks, Snowflake, or Salesforce into auto-updating live dashboards from text prompts, and Motion, which creates animated explainer videos from text, diagrams, and images. Dashboards is available to paid users and Motion to Team and Enterprise plans, while Docs, Slides, and Design leave beta and work across all plans, including free accounts.

    OpenAI rolls out GPT-6.1 Sol ultrafast with faster steering

    AITibo, an OpenAI team member, says GPT-6.1 Sol ultrafast is rolling out today in the API, Codex, and ChatGPT Work. He says it offers near-Astra intelligence at up to 8x the speed of Sol Standard. The post also says improved steering now lets the model react faster to user adjustments in real time.

    Why it matters: The post specifies the new Ultrafast option, its availability across API, Codex, and ChatGPT Work, and its speed claim relative to Sol Standard.

    OpenAI's GPT-6.1-Sol leads new Arena Alignment Index for agents

    AIThe Arena Alignment Index, built from over 90K real-world agent sessions across 27 models, ranks OpenAI's GPT-6.1-Sol first with a score of 87.9, ahead of Claude-Opus-5.5 at 83.2 and Grok-4.7 at 82.7. GPT-6.1-Sol also posted the lowest observed rates across the index's three signals: 0.89% Unauthorized Action, 1.98% False Attribution, and 2.34% Deceptive Completion. The index's authors report that newer models consistently outperform their predecessors across all four labs, suggesting broad progress in agent safety.

    Claude Motion turns reports into editable code-based animations

    AIAnthropic's Claude Motion converts reports, charts, or product walkthroughs into short animations. Claude writes each animation as code rather than using a video model, so users can edit any word, number, or timing and export an MP4. The feature is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans.

    Voyager: an open harness for creative AI work across video and games

    AIElvis Saravia argues that creative work needs domain-specific agent harnesses rather than coding-oriented ones, and he highlights Voyager as an open harness for video, graphics, and games. According to the quoted post, Voyager lets agents work with local files and drive apps such as Blender, DaVinci Resolve, and Unity, and it is designed to work with models like Opus, Astra, and DeepSeek.

    AWS Pays Per Inference for AI Agents with BlockRun and Incarna

    AIAmazon Bedrock AgentCore payments lets AI agents pay for model inference one request at a time, using x402 with USDC on the Base network. Incarna used the service to connect its agents to BlockRun, a pay-as-you-go router serving more than 90 models from more than 15 providers. Spending limits are enforced at the infrastructure layer, outside the model.
