**Grok-3**, a new family of LLMs from **xAI** using **200,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs** for advanced reasoning, outperforms models from **Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI** on math, science, and coding benchmarks. **DeepSeek-R1** from **ByteDance Research** achieves top accuracy on the challenging **SuperGPQA** dataset. **SigLIP 2** from **GoogleDeepMind** improves semantic understanding and OCR with flexible resolutions and multilingual capabilities, available on HuggingFace. **OpenAI's o3-mini-high** ranks #1 in coding and math prompts. **Perplexity's R1 1776**, a post-trained version of DeepSeek R1, is available on Ollama. The **Llamba** family distills **Llama-3.x** into efficient recurrent models with higher throughput. **AlphaMaze** combines DeepSeek R1 with GRPO for visual reasoning on ARC-AGI puzzles. **Audiobox Aesthetics** from **Meta AI** offers unified quality assessment for audio. The community notes that Grok 3's compute increase yields only modest performance gains.
