Step 5 Preview (Tested): This MODEL BLEW MY BRAINS AWAY!

From the creator

Visit StepFun: https://platform.stepfun.ai/ In this video, I’ll be testing Step 5 Preview, StepFun’s new flagship AI model, across all eight KingBench 3 tasks. We’ll explore its coding and reasoning capabilities through interactive 3D projects, a playable archery game, an elevator simulation, SVG generation, and a locally fine-tuned Gemma 2B model with a working web interface. -- Key Takeaways: 🚀 Step 5 Preview supports a one-million-token context window and up to 64,000 output tokens. 🧠 Its mixture-of-experts architecture has 600 billion total parameters, with 27 billion active per token. 💻 Step works inside OpenCode to create files, run commands, test projects, and inspect its own output. 🏹 The playable archery game was one of its strongest results, scoring 9.5 out of 10. 🦥 Step completed a local LoRA fine-tuning workflow and built a web app powered by the trained Gemma 2B model. 🎮 Seven of the eight KingBench tasks received scores of at least eight out of ten. 📊 Step 5 Preview achieved 67 out of 80 points, giving it a final score of 83.75 percent. 💸 StepFun’s international API pricing starts at one dollar per million uncached input tokens. ⚖️ Step finished above the retained MiMo and GLM 5.3 Flash reference scores, while GLM 5.3 remained ahead. 👍 Overall, Step 5 Preview is a promising model for interactive prototypes, coding agents, and local AI development workflows.

AI Maker Residence 3 at KOKO

The third AI workshop taught by our legendary teacher, Nick Sarafa. In one of the last events we did an asset manager raised an additional £25M on their fund within a space of 9 months. This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
