Thibault Sottiaux, OpenAI's head of product known for managing token limits on the Codex software engineering tool, gave an interview discussing the product's growth milestones and the company's plans to expand its reach.
Cognition released SWE-1.7, its most capable AI model to date, which the company says performs within a few points of leading frontier models while offering significantly reduced costs and 1000 tokens per second speed. The company reports continued gains from scaling reinforcement learning.
MiniMax released model weights for MiniMax M2.7 on Hugging Face, a self-evolving agent model that scores 56.22% on SWE-Pro and 57.0% on Terminal Bench 2. The company also released MMX-CLI, a command-line interface providing native access to image, video, speech, music, vision, and search capabilities.
Chinese AI company Z.AI unveiled GLM-5.1, a 754B parameter open-source agentic model that achieves state-of-the-art performance on SWE-Bench Pro and can run autonomously for up to 8 hours on long-horizon engineering tasks.
