Kimi K3 ranks #1 on @AfterQuery's SpreadsheetBench 2, surpassing Claude Fable 5.

An open weight model now outperforms all closed-sourced models. Read more in the Kimi K3 blog and SpreadsheetBench 2 paper linked below.

Congrats to the @kimi_moonshot team on the incredible model!

@AfterQuery just moved an open model past the cost-accuracy frontier in finance.

We post-trained @NVIDIAAI Nemotron 3.5 Super VL on expert credit tasks with @hebbia.

Perfect solved: 47% to 74%. That beats Sol 6, and lands within 3 points of Astra 6, at about 1/7 the cost.

Not all coding data is created equal.

Using only 500 tasks from @AfterQuery's SWE agent dataset, our internal post-training team was able to improve Qwen3.8-27B-Medium by 11.3 points in only 15 steps of GRPO.

Read more about our training experiment in the blog post linked in the comments.

People still underestimate how large the data market will become.

Better models do not reduce demand for data. They increase the number of useful things models can learn.

The frontier keeps moving, so the data has to keep getting harder.

Gemini 3.8 set SOTA on DeepSWE at 9am. Muse Spark 1.3 took it back at 12:30pm.

Incredible work from the MSL coding team.

Legal and finance are two of the highest-impact domains to crack.

3.8 Flash now leads both Harvey’s Legal Agent Benchmark and Vals Finance Agent v2. Huge congrats to GDM ⚡️

New @nvidia DGX Spark just came in.

Hyped to put it to work and eliminate inference costs on a few of my workflows.

This is a historic moment for Korean sovereign AI and the open weights ecosystem writ large. We look forward to supporting Motif and the Korean AI ecosystem as they push the frontier of open intelligence.

Motif 3 leads its comparison set on τ³-Banking, and posts 94.7 on τ²-Bench Telecom, 74.9 on Terminal-Bench 2.1, and 76.2 on SWE-bench Verified. It’s also great to see @nvidia's open foundation put to use here - Motif 3's post-training was done via NeMo-RL.

In a world where it’s easy to assume that the AI race is already won, the team at Motif is proof that the field is open, and we’re still at the starting line.

[AfterQuery @AfterQuery]

Congratulations to the @motif_tech team on the release of Motif 3!

AfterQuery is proud to have served as the sole data partner on this model.

Congrats to the @thinkymachines team on the release of Inkling-Small :bufo-yay:
