Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
arXiv
Kimi K3 is Moonshot AI's 2.8-trillion-parameter open mixture-of-experts model with native vision and a one-million-token context, released with full weights. Its report describes the architecture, training and serving work behind it, and reports frontier-level results that still trail the strongest proprietary models.

Muse Spark Safety & Preparedness Report
arXiv
Meta's safety and preparedness report for Muse Spark, the model behind Meta AI, sets out the catastrophic-risk evaluations behind its launch and argues that, with mitigations applied, residual risk is acceptable.

DeepSeek-V4: Towards Highly Efficient Million-Token Context Intelligence
arXiv
A preview report on the DeepSeek-V4 series, describing a 1.6-trillion-parameter Pro model and a 284-billion-parameter Flash model, both with one-million-token context, plus the attention, connection and optimization changes that make that length affordable.

Humanity's Last Exam (HLE)
arXiv
Humanity's Last Exam (HLE) is a 2,500-question, multi-modal benchmark spanning dozens of academic subjects, built by experts worldwide so that frontier language models can still be measured after saturating older tests.
- 2024
DeepSeek-V3 Technical Report
arXiv
A technical report from DeepSeek-AI on DeepSeek-V3, a mixture-of-experts language model with 671 billion total parameters, describing its architecture, training pipeline, and evaluations, including a full training run of 2.788 million H800 GPU hours.

The Llama 3 Herd of Models
arXiv
Meta's 2024 paper describing Llama 3 as a family of foundation models — 8B, 70B and 405B parameters — trained on about 15 trillion tokens and reported to match leading models such as GPT-4 across a wide range of tasks.

OSWorld: Benchmarking Multimodal Agents for Open-Ended Tasks in Real Computer Environments
arXiv
OSWorld is a benchmark and environment for testing multimodal agents on 369 real computer tasks in Ubuntu, Windows and macOS; humans complete over 72.36% of the tasks, while the best model reaches only 12.24%.

LiveCodeBench: Holistic and Contamination Free Evaluation of Large Language Models for Code
arXiv
A benchmark for code LLMs that keeps collecting fresh contest problems from LeetCode, AtCoder and CodeForces, so that scores reflect ability rather than memorised test data, and that also tests code repair and execution reasoning.

Gemini 1.5: Unlocking multimodal understanding across millions of tokens of context
arXiv
A report from Google's Gemini Team introducing the Gemini 1.5 family, multimodal models built around very long context, with Gemini 1.5 Pro recalling information across up to 10 million tokens.[^1]

GAIA: a benchmark for General AI Assistants
arXiv
GAIA is a benchmark of real-world questions that are easy for humans but hard for AI assistants, testing reasoning, multimodality, web browsing, and tool use. It compares AI progress against average human performance.

SWE-bench: Can Language Models Resolve Real-World GitHub Issues?
arXiv
A benchmark of 2,294 real software engineering problems taken from GitHub issues and the pull requests that resolved them, in which a model must edit a codebase to fix an issue; on release the best model solved under 2% of them.
