SpaceXAI dropped Grok 4.5 and it's actually good enough to pay
attention to now. Coding and engineering: hangs with GPT 5.5 and Claude Opus 4.8. SWE Bench Pro hit 64.7%, first time beating GPT 5.5 on this one. In practice I'd put it around GLM-5.2 level. $2/M input, $6/M output. Cheap relative to the rest of the frontier.
Grok + voice cloning. A fake account made me $3k.
I never use up my Grok Super video credits. They rot every month. So I started a thirst trap page. Grok handles the outfit videos. Same face, same body. Swap the clothes and setting. Voice is a cloning tool I built. Looks like one person, talks like one person. Did better than I expected. Few thousand followers in a week. 10k in under a month. Brand deal DMs followed. Easy to replicate. Voice cloning tool is open source. Grok Super or any video gen tool works. The rest is just execution. github: haoyiyin/clone-voice
Meituan shipped LongCat-2.5
. 1.6T params, ~48B active, native multimodal, aimed at long-horizon agents, trained start to finish on Chinese hardware. Images get quantized into multi-level discrete tokens, and that's where Visual Coding and 3D pick up. On the RL side, failed trajectories get turned back into verifiable training tasks. W4A4 inference, 43% faster prefill. Meituan's own evals put it between Claude Opus 4.8 and Opus 5.

SenseTime open-sourced SenseNova Loop-9B-Preview.
It stacks layers instead of parameters. The decoder has 32 layers, but layers 4 through 27 run twice with shared weights, so a forward pass does 56 layers of work while the checkpoint stays at 9B. Their own eval numbers: 71.38 on BIRD-Dev and 13.72 on AutomationBench, both above Qwen3.5-27B. Terminal Bench is still behind.
