Qwen 3.5 is the first major model pretrained specifically for agentic multimodal workflows from the first training stage, not fine-tuned after the fact. 397B total / 17B active parameters (MoE architecture), 256K context window, 201 languages. Ships with Qwen Code (terminal ag...
Alibaba released Qwen3.6-27B on April 22. Dense architecture. Open weights. 77.2% on SWE-bench Verified, within 3.7 points of Claude Opus 4.6. On SkillsBench, it scores 48.2% versus its own 397B MoE predecessor's 30.0%. That's a 77% improvement with 14.8x fewer parameters. Let...
A spec is a press release until someone who didn't write it implements it. GitHub made Agent Plugins 1.0 generally available on August 12 across VS Code, Copilot CLI, the Copilot SDK, and the Copilot app on all plans. The spec, published August 6, was co-authored by AWS, Anysp...
Moonshot AI dropped Kimi K2.6 today and the numbers are hard to ignore. One trillion parameters total, 32 billion active per token across 384 experts, 256K context window, and native multimodal input. It scores 58.6 on SWE-Bench Pro versus GPT-5.4's 57.7 and Claude Opus 4.6's...
Somebody diffed the configs. Zero architectural changes. Same 64 layers, same 5,120 hidden dimension, same hybrid Gated DeltaNet → FFN / Gated Attention → FFN block structure as Qwen3.6-27B. The r/LocalLLaMA post showing this hit 945 upvotes and 157 comments, and Hugging Face...
DeepClaude hit 470 points on Hacker News. It swaps Claude Code's API backend to DeepSeek V4 Pro while preserving the full agent loop: file editing, bash execution, git tooling, the whole workflow. DeepSeek V4 Pro scores 96.4% on LiveCodeBench at a fraction of Anthropic's prici...
