Agents write application code, but you still get paged at 2am when it breaks. We wanted to know whether AI could handle that part of the job too. Introducing Incident Arena: a benchmark that puts coding agents on call! Check out our paper & full dataset release below!

Big news: Gemini 4 Argon (High) by @GoogleDeepMind just landed #1 in Text Arena with 1525 pts, and #8 in Code Arena: WebDev with 1679 pts! This release has reshaped the Text Arena Pareto frontier with a blended $8/MToken! Gemini 4 Argon (High) is now the most cost efficient model, see its placement on Pareto frontier below. In the Text Arena, Gemini 4 Argon (High) ranks #1 in Coding, Hard Prompts, Instruction Following, Longer Query, and Creative Writing. It also leads every occupational domain evaluated, with additional #1 spots in English, Non-English, Chinese, and Russian. This model is +20 points above the #2 ranked Claude Opus 4.6 (High), and a huge leap from Google’s previous release, Gemini 3.8 Flash (High) at #11! In Code Arena: WebDev, Gemini 4 Argon (High) gained +96 points from Gemini 3.8 Flash (High), and went from #29 to #8. Congrats to the @GoogleDeepMind team on this impressive frontier release!

Lots of discussion out there about our next model(!), so I wanted to give an early look as soon as possible. Introducing Gemini 4 Argon! It shows frontier performance in complex workflows, cyber defense and software engineering. Teams are using it extensively at Google, from coding to quantum computing, great feedback. Here’s a look at the benchmarks:

Grok Bot is now more powerful for building software. Bots can hand off coding tasks to Cursor, manage your PRs with GitHub and Origin plugins, and share video demos of what they build.

Introducing Boreal-H3 — a video model built for ads and our next step toward recursive self-improvement in video generation. A good-looking video isn’t enough. The product has to stay the same. The actor has to stay the same. The label has to be right. And the action in the brief actually has to happen. So we post-trained MiniMax H3 specifically for advertising. But this isn’t a one-off SFT or LoRA fine-tune. We built a closed-loop system that learns what to improve next. Human-calibrated evaluation diagnoses failures and guides the next intervention: targeted data collection, reinforcement learning, or inference optimization. When the feedback is unreliable, we revise the evaluator or reward—not just the generator. Every experiment feeds into shared memory, informing the next training decision. The model improves, and so does the process that produces its successor. The results: → 85.3% reference fidelity — highest among the frontier video generation models we evaluated → Brief success: 28% → 50% → Identity match: 83% → 94% → Visible defects per clip: down 70% → Generation time and estimated cost: down 20% Boreal-H3 doesn’t just make better-looking video. It makes more usable ads. Credit to the @MiniMax_AI team for the foundation we’re building on. This launch is a checkpoint, not the finish line. We’re building more than a better video model. We’re building a system that learns how to make the next one better.
