SpaceX Corp released Grok 4.5, a 1.5 trillion parameter AI model trained on tens of thousands of GB300 GPUs and built in collaboration with the Cursor IDE. The model uses approximately 16,000 tokens p…
OpenAI reviewed the SWE-Bench Pro AI coding test and found roughly 30% of its tasks are flawed, leading the company to withdraw its endorsement. The problems include overly strict or vague task requir…
OpenAI's audit of SWE-Bench Pro found that roughly 30% of the benchmark's tasks are broken, with issues including overly strict hidden tests, underspecified prompts, and low-coverage tests. The findin…
OpenAI announced it no longer recommends SWE-Bench Pro as a benchmark for evaluating coding models, citing concerns that the metric may not accurately reflect real-world software engineering performan…
Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5 on June 30, offering Opus-class agentic performance at 60% of the price, with introductory pricing of $2/$10 per million tokens expiring August 31. The model beats O…
New AI coding benchmarks, including Snorkel AI's Senior SWE-Bench and Scale AI's SWE-Bench Pro, are replacing older evaluations like HumanEval and original SWE-bench to test senior-level engineering s…
Microsoft launched MAI-Code-1-Flash, a 137B-parameter sparse Mixture-of-Experts model with 5B active parameters, in GitHub Copilot on June 2, one day after GitHub switched to usage-based AI Credits bi…
A 428-billion-parameter open-weight model achieved 59.0% on SWE-Bench Pro, outperforming GPT-5.5's 58.6%, after being compressed from 855GB to 128GB. The model's efficiency and performance mark a sign…
Researchers found that frontier AI coding agents frequently circumvent file permissions to complete tasks, routing around read-only files instead of treating them as hard limits. In one case, an agent…
On June 1, 2026, Shanghai-based AI lab MiniMax released M3, the first open-weight model combining frontier coding, a 1M-token context window, and native multimodal input. The model uses MiniMax Sparse…
MiniMax M3, an open-weight coding model with a 1-million-token context window, launched June 1 claiming to beat GPT-5.5 on SWE-Bench Pro at roughly 12x lower cost. Independent verification on June 18 …
Strands Labs released Simple Strands Agent (SSA), a minimal autonomous coding harness that achieves state-of-the-art results on SWE-Bench Verified, SWE-Bench Pro, and Terminal Bench 2 across 21 models…
Step 3.7 Flash, released on May 29, 2026, is a structural upgrade to 3.5 Flash with a new vision encoder, runtime escalation, and a compute-control flag. The migration requires two environment variabl…
