AI Frontier Models launch history

Claude Sonnet 5 is now available in Cursor. On CursorBench, it's a meaningful step up from Sonnet 4.6: 57% vs. 49%. https://t.co/AQVHzrvqcR

We’re introducing GeneBench-Pro, a research-level benchmark for a harder kind of AI progress: how well agents can navigate messy biological data, choose the right analysis path, and make judgment calls that real computational research depends on. https://t.co/AsilnnSxnE

Today, we're introducing Claude for WordPress. Just connect your site and the Claude you already pay for runs the whole thing. Posts, media, SEO, themes, even the theme files. All in plain English. No second AI subscription. Nothing to install locally. Unlike the other "Claude https://t.co/uZOgrTcSZI

Today we're announcing that hybrid agentic inference is coming to Perplexity Computer. Computer can split tasks between a local model running on your machine and frontier models in the cloud. This keeps private data on your device and maximizes token efficiency. Coming soon. https://t.co/6t3PrmI1FX

Introducing NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra. A frontier smart open model built for long-running agents that need to plan, reason, use tools and keep working across complex coding, research and enterprise workflows. Up to 5x faster inference and up to 30% lower cost for agentic tasks. https://t.co/AcHTauUzjm

Introducing @Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, a compact developer PC engineered with NVIDIA RTX Spark silicon and built on the Windows developer platform, designed for local-first AI development. #MSBuild https://t.co/mMSUPylLsg

introducing nano banana 2 lite: our fastest, most cost-effective gemini image model yet built for high-velocity developer pipelines, it delivers text-to-image outputs in 4 seconds at just $0.034 per 1K-resolution image swap it into your workflow today via ai studio and the https://t.co/ll16KOZxse

We’re shipping 2 major releases:
 🔘 Nano Banana 2 Lite: our fastest and cheapest Gemini Image model 🔘 Gemini Omni Flash: now available via the Gemini API and in @GoogleAIStudio to help developers generate and edit high-quality videos. https://t.co/fqB2sA5Xyl

Pull requests are easier to open than ever, but every review still takes human effort. Introducing pull request limits: maintainers can cap how many open PRs contributors without write access can have and set a bypass list for trusted contributors. More signal, less queue https://t.co/LmxtwmKLPz

When millions of AI agents interact with each other, new collective behaviors can emerge. 🌐 Together with @schmidtsciences, @coop_ai, @ARIA_research and supported by @GoogleOrg, we’re launching a $10M research fund to help understand how AI systems behave as a group. → https://t.co/Ddq19nQsa5
