Mind-blowing. Leap to the Stars Step 5 preview: long-context, faster and better and it ties Opus 5 on AIME24.
It lifts Qwen3-30B-A3B from 53.3% to 60% on AIME24, matching Claude Opus 5 with fewer labeled tokens.
Long-context recap:
MLA-512 GPU kernel: 22 hours to 508 TFLOPS, beating Opus 5’s 493
Pokémon Red: no special opts, 3,000+ consecutive turns, 6M tokens about one-third of the main story
Closed-loop post-training: it tweaks itself, tests itself, and decides whether to keep going. This round, long-context isn’t just done. It’s done better.
🚀 China just dropped a new Pareto frontier model
StepFun's Step 5 Preview is live a 600B MoE with only 27B active params and a 1M context window
Why it matters:
- Matches Kimi K3 (max) at 44 on Artificial Analysis
- 65% lower cost per task same budget buys 3× the runs
- Built for agentic work: software engineering, long-horizon execution, finance
- API available now | Open weights Oct 15
China keeps shipping. The cost/intelligence curve just bent again

Hermes agents just got a "second brain" for routine decisions.
offloads model routing, skill selection, compaction, and computer/browser actions to Jev (TypeSafe's decision model, ~0.4s per call)
Key skills:
• Model routing picks the right model per turn from all your providers
• Skill selection suggests the right skill from 373+ installed (~0.9s)
• Compaction decides what survives verbatim vs summarized (71 turns in 0.95s)
• Computer/browser use next GUI/page action from pre-judged safe actions
• Dashboard (jev dashboard) live routing view per profile
Install: unzip && python3 https://t.co/Y4OIP4oc4B && jev setup-key
Try shadow mode first: /jev routing shadow

@DanielSmidstrup Jean is an opinionated native desktop app built with Tauri that gives you a powerful interface for working with Claude CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI, OpenCode, PI, Command Code, Grok, and Kimi Code https://t.co/zL1f3eWZSQ
Kimi_Moonshot posted a string of digits on Zhihu: 415926535897932384626433832795...
- This is π (3.14159...) with the leading 3.1 removed
- MaxForAI interprets this as hinting at Kimi K3.1 (since removing "3.1" from π leaves the rest)
- Current flagship is still K3 this would be a minor version bump
every boring computer task gets its own tiny model next: forms, CRM, data entry, browser clicks. one agent routes between them. ridiculous stuff incoming.
1/ Introducing CUA-S1: a family of System One Models, small, specialized, and built for computer use.
Today we're open-sourcing CUA-S1-FORMS, the first in the family: https://t.co/J1frbEbZTQ

Cloudflare just open-sourced how they find vulns at fleet scale.
It's called security-audit-skill. 11.2k stars, 600+ forks.
And it's not another scanner — it's a prompt harness that turns Claude/Codex/etc into an audit team.
Here's how it works:
This seeded their real VDH that scans 128 repos across Rust, Go, C, TS, Python.
DB-backed, resumable, deduped, cross-repo tracing.
Took 6 weeks to go from skill to fleet scanner.
Start with the skill, build harness only when you need it.
