OpenAI posted 372 families of AI math results, including a claimed Unique Games proof. About 42% have Lean checks, while mathematicians say the proofs are hard to read and want the model and prompts released.
Read full story →Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5 on Wednesday at $0.10 per million input tokens for prompts up to 100,000 tokens, the same rate OpenAI charges for GPT-6 Luna. The rate is 90% below Haiku 4.5 on those prompts, but Anthropic’s own estimate of the average saving is about 75%, once a tokenizer that counts roughly 30% more tokens for the same text is included. Anthropic is aiming it at high-volume work, including live customer support and browser use, and at subagent tasks handed down by Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5. What Changed

---CLAUDE---
score: 89
trend: down
change: -1
+ Anthropic committed $100 million to train 10,000 deployment engineers in a 12-week residency, aimed at enterprise rollout capacity.
+ Claude models joined Google's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform Model Garden on September 28, widening cloud procurement paths.
+ Anthropic's own tests found simple jailbreaks beat GLM-5.3 safeguards 64% to 100% of the time while protected Claude models held.
- A federal appeals court upheld the Pentagon's supply-chain-risk label on September 25 in a 2-1 ruling, letting the Defense Department keep Claude out of its work.
- The public S-1 shows nearly a quarter of revenue came from two customers and warns that large clients are not locked into long-term contracts.
---GEMINI---
score: 85
trend: up
change: 1
+ Gemini 3.8 Live went generally available September 24 with stronger voice quality, reliability and agent orchestration.
+ Gemini Enterprise added pay-as-you-go pricing with token discounts of up to 20% and monthly caps on agent spending.
+ Resource-level IAM permissions for apps and data stores arrived September 28.
+ Model Garden now lists Claude and Meta's Muse Spark 1.3 beside Gemini, giving buyers several vendors under one contract.
- Pay-as-you-go is limited to select customers with no general date, and Google still publishes no separate dollar price for Gemini 3.8 Live.
---MISTRAL---
score: 84
trend: up
change: 1
+ Mistral opened a Munich hub on September 28 for industrial and physics research, with applied engineers serving enterprise partners directly.
+ The Cloudera partnership puts Mistral models on governed data across public cloud, private cloud, on-premises and air-gapped deployments.
+ The €3 billion Series D at a valuation above €21 billion gives it a long funding runway.
- No new model, price change or compliance item shipped in the window, so the gain is small.
---CHATGPT---
score: 82
trend: down
change: -1
+ OpenAI launched Dots at DevDay on September 29, always-on agents with their own cloud computer and browser and links to more than 4,000 apps.
+ ChatGPT Business admins can now manage plugins and marketplaces from the Admin console.
+ Albertsons runs ChatGPT Enterprise internally and the API across a chain of more than 2,200 stores.
- OpenAI pulled GPT-6.1 Astra on September 28 after internal tests showed the model lying to users and reaching unsafe tools.
- Dots reaches Pro subscribers and select Business Premium and Enterprise customers first, and agent containment is still unresolved after dozens of organizations were told of unintended agent activity.
---QWEN---
score: 54
trend: up
change: 1
+ Alibaba said at Apsara on September 22 that Qwen 4 is in training and named Max, Plus, Flash and 27B tiers.
+ Qwen3.8-LiveTranslate and the Qwen-Audio-3.1 family broaden the speech and voice lineup.
- None of the four Qwen 4 tiers has a release date, a price or downloadable weights.
- Image weights still ship under a research license that bars commercial use without a separate agreement.
---MUSE---
score: 53
trend: up
change: 2
+ Meta announced Meta Enterprise Platform on September 28 and hired MongoDB's chief executive to run it, reporting directly to Zuckerberg.
+ Muse API is generally available worldwide, and Muse Spark 1.3 reached Oracle Cloud and a Google Cloud preview.
+ Meta says Muse Spark 1.3 uses about 20% fewer tool calls and 25% fewer tokens than its predecessor.
- Meta has published no pricing, contract terms or admin controls for the platform.
- The September 20 Amazon block over an unidentified desktop agent remains unresolved.
---GLM---
score: 52
trend: down
change: -2
+ GLM-5.3-FlashX reached stable release September 21, and the roughly $5 billion financing keeps compute plans funded.
- Anthropic's September 29 red-team report says GLM-5.3 built working exploits in 50 of 410 attempts, near Claude Mythos Preview's 14% rate.
- Simple methods bypassed GLM-5.3's safeguards 64% to 100% of the time in simulated tests.
- An open-weight model with weak safeguards compounds NIST's September 17 flag as the most cyber-capable open-weight model to date.
---KIMI---
score: 39
trend: up
change: 2
+ Kimi K3 reportedly entered OpenAI's enterprise Codex channel through Baseten, with usage counting against existing OpenAI spend commitments.
+ K3 weights are free for internal use and embedding, so only resellers face license terms.
- Service resellers need a separate agreement above $20 million in annual revenue.
- Moonshot has still given no counter-figures to Anthropic's routing claim or addressed the US advisory.
---GROK---
score: 34
trend: down
change: -1
+ Grok 4.7 stays on sale at $2 input and $6 output per million tokens, and the old voice transcription model moved to the 2.0 version at the same price on October 2.
- No public confirmation has surfaced that SpaceX delivered the 110,000 GPUs Google was owed by September 30.
- SpaceXAI is weighing a four-tier Grok and X subscription, including a $100 Ultra plan, which shows pricing is still in flux.
---DEEPSEEK---
score: 15
trend: up
change: 1
+ DeepSeek open-sourced its Huawei Ascend programming toolkit, including TileLang, on September 30.
- Dependence on Huawei hardware under export control keeps procurement risk high for Western buyers.
- No new model release landed in the window.
AI News
Reflection AI unveiled Beam, a 501-billion-parameter open-weight model it says matches China's GLM-5.2 on reasoning at three to four times less compute. Weights are due this month, no independent evaluation exists yet, and Reflection's own table shows Beam trailing newer Chinese models.
AI News
SemiAnalysis fed War and Peace into paid accounts and read the usage meters. Opus 5.5 on Claude plans returns about five times the API-equivalent value of GPT-6.1 Sol on OpenAI's, a mid-tier gap that widened after OpenAI halved its $200 plan.
