Cosmos 3

NVIDIA's Cosmos 3 is an open world model for physical AI: it predicts what happens next in the real world and outputs robot actions, with weights, data, and recipes under a permissive license. What it is, and what you can run.

Kimi K2.7 Code

Moonshot's Kimi K2.7 Code keeps coding quality steady while thinking about 30 percent less, a cost story for long agent runs. The catch: the benchmarks are all first-party. What to believe, and how to run it.

Ideogram 4

Ideogram 4 is a closed image lab's first open weights: a 9.3B from-scratch flow-matching model with the best text rendering of any open model, running on a single 24GB GPU. The catch is the license: free to play with, 300 dollars a month to ship. The honest version.
