not much happened today
**Chinese AI labs** have released powerful open-source models like **GLM-4.5** and **GLM-4.5-Air** from **Zhipu AI**, **Qwen3 Coder** and **Qwen3-235B** from **Alibaba**, and **Kimi K2** from **Moonshot AI**, highlighting a surge in permissively licensed models. **Zhipu AI's GLM-4.5** is a 355B parameter MoE model competitive with **Claude 4 Opus** and **Gemini 2.5 Pro**. **Alibaba's Qwen3 Coder** shows strong code generation performance with a low edit failure rate, while **Moonshot AI's Kimi K2** is a 1 trillion-parameter MoE model surpassing benchmarks like **LiveCodeBench**. In video and image generation, **xAI** launched **Grok Imagine**, and **Wan2.2** impressed with innovative image-to-video generation. Robotics advances include **Figure's Figure-01 and Figure-02** humanoid robots and **ViTPose++** for pose estimation in basketball analysis. **SmolLM3** training and evaluation code was fully released under Apache 2.0. **OpenAI** introduced **Study Mode** in **ChatGPT** to enhance interactive learning, and **Runway** rolled out **Runway Aleph**, a new in-context video model for multi-task visual generation. The community notes a competitive disadvantage for organizations avoiding these Chinese open-source models. *"Orgs avoiding these models are at a significant competitive disadvantage,"* noted by @corbtt.
