The list

What happened

Each entry stays intentionally light: a date, a title, and a note on why it deserves to be remembered.

2026
Model release

MiMo-V2.6 Released

Xiaomi released and open-sourced the MiMo-V2.6 Pro and Flash multimodal models, alongside their technical report and resources for reinforcement-learning research.

2026
Model release

GPT-6 Sol Released

OpenAI released GPT-6 Sol for complex coding and agentic workflows, with text and image input through the Responses and Chat Completions APIs.

2026
Model release

Claude Opus 5.5 Released

Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5 for agentic coding and knowledge work, with stronger performance and lower typical running costs than Opus 5.

2026
Model release

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash Released

DeepSeek released DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, a native multimodal Mixture-of-Experts model that pairs a causal encoder-decoder architecture with a one-million-token context window and a substantially smaller KV cache.

2026
Model release

GPT-6 Astra Released

OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra, its most capable model for end-to-end work across computer use, coding, research, and professional workflows, beginning with a limited trusted-access rollout.

2026
Model release

GLM-5.3 Released

Z.ai released GLM-5.3, a post-training-driven update focused on stronger coding, longer agent tasks, and newly observed cybersecurity capabilities.

2026
Model release

Opus 5 Released

A new milestone in models. The question to revisit later: did it transform long-horizon agent work, or only improve benchmark scores?

2026
Model release

Kimi K3 Released

Kimi released its 2.8-trillion-parameter K3 model with native vision, a one-million-token context window, and a focus on long-horizon coding and knowledge work.

2026
Model release

GLM-5.2 Released

Z.ai released GLM-5.2 for long-horizon tasks, pairing a one-million-token context window with stronger project-scale coding and sustained agent execution.
