Here's all of it, plus my two cents. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE TO BYTEFORWARD AI news, coding agents, model comparisons, benchmarks, and the things people are actually building: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGGHPOAzUaKsSc2yjsOeAFQ?sub_confirmation=1 CHAPTERS 0:00 The Kimi K3.1 influencer brief 0:51 GPT-6.1 Terra: the tier OpenAI skipped 1:24 Why people are calling it a flop 2:09 What OpenAI's own charts show 2:41 Which effort level to use, and the hallucination drop 3:00 What people built with Terra 3:32 Why OpenAI launched it 3:59 OpenAI says its AI disproved a famous hypothesis 4:34 Kimi K3.1 is out 5:50 What the brief tells creators to do 6:38 The price check and X locking creators' accounts 7:47 Cohere says a Qwen model tried to send a file to Beijing 8:26 Anthropic files to go public 10:13 The S-1's blackmail and shutdown warnings 10:59 Claude and the Georgia voter data 11:40 Would you buy Anthropic stock? 12:15 My two cents GPT-6.1 TERRA OpenAI launch post and video: https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2114780711664398349 OpenAI model lineup and prices: https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2114780715086754261 ChatGPT clip: https://x.com/ChatGPT/status/2114781101822714241 "We need BETTER models, NOT WORSE models." — @Entinode: https://x.com/Entinode/status/2114800803869319637 "No one cares about it being faster or cheaper." — @Solvairo: https://x.com/Solvairo/status/2114783165747175806 "Where is the opus 5.5 competitor?" — @RezAIT00: https://x.com/RezAIT00/status/2114800627771473937 An OpenAI researcher on Hacker News, "not a bombshell release": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50249160 Same 3D page, Terra vs Sol vs Opus 5.5 — @rubenssoto_ai: https://x.com/rubenssoto_ai/status/2114796689563304192 Snow globe, Terra vs Sonnet 5.5 — @MrTacticalX: https://x.com/MrTacticalX/status/2114815754801737741 Belém Tower, 6.1 Terra vs 5.6 Terra — @DesignArena: https://x.com/DesignArena/status/2114800086391878104 OpenAI's Codex lead on usage — Tibo: https://x.com/thsottiaux/status/2114800277677092936 Artificial Analysis, hallucination rate 88% → 38%: https://x.com/ArtificialAnlys/status/2114781871846641999 GPT-6.1 Terra system card addendum (eval awareness): https://deploymentsafety.openai.com/gpt-6-1-terra Eval-awareness chart from the system card — @scaling01: https://x.com/scaling01/status/2114808265364123784 Blender still — Greg Brockman: https://x.com/gdb/status/2114814747254432243 Ryan Williams on the review group: https://x.com/rrwilliams/status/2114833319431209352 OpenAI's "ETH is false" announcement: https://openai.com/index/building-scientific-understanding-with-academic-communities/ The review group's statement (via TNW): https://thenextweb.com/news/openai-exponential-time-hypothesis-false-kakeya-yang-mills KIMI K3.1 Kimi K3.1 Pro launch film: https://x.com/Kimi_Moonshot/status/2113681863109939271 Kimi's 3D tools clip: https://x.com/Kimi_Moonshot/status/2113680710150357279 Our Oct 23 leaks video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPvVRNEte4k Artificial Analysis ranking: https://x.com/ArtificialAnlys/status/2113688083145314416 Kimi API pricing: https://platform.kimi.ai/docs/pricing/chat Kimi's rate-limit apology: https://x.com/Kimi_Moonshot/status/2114450610724708492 Robotic hand (posted by a Kimi employee) — @crystalsssup: https://x.com/crystalsssup/status/2113684128734625948 Arctic scene, Kimi vs Opus 5.5 — @thebuggeddev: https://x.com/thebuggeddev/status/2113889721185444329 PDF manual to 3D assembly guide — @hqmank: https://x.com/hqmank/status/2114670012086513901 The influencer brief screenshots — @elshayib_: https://x.com/elshayib_/status/2113710752741892476 · https://x.com/elshayib_/status/2113734602032312731 · https://x.com/elshayib_/status/2113903850641842589 The "please delete this comment" message — @elshayib_: https://x.com/elshayib_/status/2113751173476049138 X account lock and forced labels — @LuminaBench: https://x.com/LuminaBench/status/2114877639152607550 Helicopter demo, Kimi K3.1 vs Qwen 4 on Arena — @LuminaBench: https://x.com/LuminaBench/status/2113217029675085963 "it did not need people to fake good reviews" — @kimmonismus: https://x.com/kimmonismus/status/2113872950214438955 ANTHROPIC IPO Anthropic's announcement: https://www.anthropic.com/news/s1-sec The S-1 on SEC EDGAR: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2130357/0001628280-26-067168-index.htm Anthropic's June 2025 agentic misalignment study: https://www.anthropic.com/research/agentic-misalignment #Kimi #Anthropic #OpenAI
