StepFun's Step 5 Preview scores 44 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, matching Kimi K3 (max) at ~2.8x lower cost per task, but trails peers on agentic evaluations Step 5 Preview is @StepFun_ai's new flagship model, with 600B total and 27B active parameters, succeeding Step 3.7 Flash (released May 2026). It scores 44 on the Intelligence Index, level with Kimi K3 (max) and just behind GLM-5.3 (max, 45) and Qwen3.8 Max (45) Key takeaways: ➤ Step 5 Preview costs ~2.8x less per Intelligence Index task than models at the same score. It costs ~$0.72 per task, against ~$2.00 for Kimi K3 (max) at the same score of 44 and ~$2.01 for GLM-5.3 (max) at 45. This is driven by pricing: at $1/$2.70 per 1M input/output tokens, it is priced below both on input and output. MiMo-V2.6-Pro is the one model that scores higher (46) at a lower cost per task ($0.13) ➤ Frontier reasoning is the standout strength, and where the jump from Step 3.7 Flash is largest. Step 5 Preview scores 46% on Humanity's Last Exam, in line with Kimi K3 (max, 47%), and 21% on CritPt, between Kimi K3 (23%) and GLM-5.3 (max, 19%). Both are up sharply from Step 3.7 Flash: +25 points on HLE and +19 points on CritPt ➤ Higher AA-Omniscience accuracy than GLM-5.3 at fewer parameters, but with more hallucination. At 600B total parameters, Step 5 Preview reaches 42% accuracy on AA-Omniscience, our benchmark measuring factual recall and hallucination, ahead of GLM-5.3 (max, 34%, 753B) and behind Kimi K3 (max, 48%, 2.8T). It attempts more questions than GLM-5.3 (68% vs 55%) and hallucinates more often when it does (43% vs 30%), landing at 16 on the AA-Omniscience Index, between GLM-5.3 (14) and Kimi K3 (20) ➤ Agentic evaluations are where Step 5 Preview lags peers at a similar Intelligence Index score. It scores 1,566 Elo on GDPval-AA, our primary evaluation for agentic performance, behind Qwen3.8 Max (1,668) and GLM-5.3 (max, 1,646). The gap holds on Terminal-Bench 4.0 (33% vs 39% and 42%), AA-Briefcase (1,432 Elo vs 1,640 and 1,525) and AutomationBench-AA (51% vs 56% and 62%) Key model details: ➤ Model Size: 600B total parameters, 27B active MoE model ➤ Context window: 1M tokens ➤ Multimodality: Text, image and video input, text output ➤ Pricing: $1/$2.70 per 1M input/output tokens, with cached input at $0.05/M ➤ Availability: StepFun first-party API, with open weights release planned for October 15th ➤ Licensing: Closed weights currently, with weights release planned for October 15th

BREAKING: MiMo-V2.6-Pro by @XiaomiMiMo lands at #8 overall (#3 open-weight) on Design Arena with an Elo of 1338. This is an impressive 54-point and 22-position increase from MiMo-V2.5-Pro. MiMo-V2.6-Pro also reaches #4 overall in Website (#2 open-weight) and #6 overall in Agentic Frontend Development (#2 open-weight), showing strong performance across both direct generation and agentic coding. This places @XiaomiMiMo's new model among leading models such as GPT-5.6 Sol by @OpenAI, Claude Opus 5 by @Anthropic, and Kimi K3 by @MoonshotAI. Congratulations to the @XiaomiMiMo team on returning to a top-10 placement on Design Arena!

MiMo-V2.6-Pro just landed @XiaomiMiMo back in the top 10 on Code Arena: WebDev, debuting at ~#10 overall, and ~#3 among open-weights models with an MIT license. It scores 1628 pts (AutoEval), tying Claude Fable 5 (High) and just ahead of Hy4-preview (1624 pts). That's a +153 pt jump from the previous MiMo-V2.5-Pro (1475 → 1628 pts). Among open-weights models, it lands at ~#3. Impressively only 7 pts behind Qwen3.8 Flash Next (#2) and 46 pts behind Kimi K3 Max (#1). Note: this is an early AutoEval score, in which a Reward Model trained on Arena’s human preference data casts automatic votes in place of live votes. We’ll continue to see how scores converge as more live human votes come in. Congrats to the @XiaomiMiMo team on this release!

Grok 4.7 is here. It's a notable improvement over Grok 4.6 at the same price and speed.

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

Qwen Image 2.1 is here! 🖼️ A 7B params native image generation and editing model, with up to 10 image references The model comes with it's own prompt enhancement LLMs, integrated with diffusers 🧨 and ComfyUI ▶️ on Spaces https://huggingface.co/spaces/hugging-apps/qwen-image-2-1

Generating high-quality images is cheaper and faster than ever. Muse Image, MAI-Image-2.6 and GPT Images 2.5 have substantially shifted the Text to Image Pareto frontiers for both price and speed in recent weeks.

We built high-throughput materials labs in Menlo Park to create a loop between experiments and models. The labs generate fresh data, the models learn from it, and then help us decide what to try next. Using only 1,300 H200s, plus months of our experimental data, we mid-trained and RL’d an open-source model to surpass GPT-6 Astra on our analysis benchmark. We call it Neon. This is real footage from our lab. We’re focusing first on hard problems in materials science, including superconductors, magnets, and semiconductor materials. Read our blog posts below.
