OpenAI has launched GPT-6 Astra, its most capable artificial intelligence model to date. The model can operate computers, complete multistep workflows and handle tasks that would otherwise require continuous human input.
By Daniel Mercer Google has upgraded its Gemini 3 Deep Think reasoning mode, positioning the tool as a solution for complex problems in science and engineering.
By Daniel Mercer OpenAI will discontinue several older AI models in ChatGPT on February 13, 2026, including GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and o4-mini. The models will remain available in the API for the time being. The company officially cites declining usage as the reason for the move: only 0.1% of users reportedly select GPT-4o on a daily basis
By Alex Rowland OpenAI has introduced GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, a smaller coding model optimized specifically for real-time programming. It runs on Cerebras chips and delivers throughput of more than 1,000 tokens per second.
By Chris Borden With GLM-5, Chinese AI company Zhipu AI has introduced an open-source model designed to compete with Claude Opus 4.5 and GPT-5.2 in coding and agent-based tasks.
By Daniel Mercer Alibaba’s Qwen Team has introduced Qwen-Image-2.0, a compact image generation and editing model with 7 billion parameters and native 2K resolution (2048 × 2048). The system can both generate images from text prompts and edit existing visuals within a unified architecture.
By Chris Borden ByteDance has released a new version of its AI video generation model, Seedance 2.0. The model supports eight languages.
By Daniel Mercer Claude Opus 4.6 is currently the best AI model—at least until Artificial Analysis benchmarks OpenAI’s Codex 5.3, which is expected to take the lead in coding tasks. For now, Anthropic’s new model ranks first in the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, which aggregates results from ten benchmarks covering coding, agent-based tasks, and scientific reasoning. Opus 4.6 leads in three categories: agentic work tasks, terminal-based coding, and physics research problems
By Alex Rowland Anthropic has introduced a new Fast Mode for Claude, offering significantly lower latency at a substantially higher cost. For Claude Opus 4.6, Fast Mode is priced at up to six times the standard rate.
