OpenAI released GPT-Realtime-2, a voice model with GPT-5-class reasoning, tool use, interruption handling, and extended context windows up to 128K tokens, achieving top scores on Big Bench Audio and Conversational Dynamics benchmarks. They also launched a Chrome plugin for Codex enabling browser control and multitasking, and introduced GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber for secure defensive workflows and red teaming. Anthropic introduced Natural Language Autoencoders for interpreting model activations as human-readable text, aiding interpretability and debugging, while Goodfire proposed a neural geometry research agenda focusing on manifolds as primitives for neural network behavior. Anthropic also announced The Anthropic Institute to advance AI safety and economic resilience research.

Mistral surprises with the release of Voxtral, a transcription model outperforming Whisper large-v3, GPT-4o mini Transcribe, and Gemini 2.5 Flash. Voxtral models (3B and 24B) support 32k token context length, handle audios up to 30-40 minutes, offer built-in Q&A and summarization, are multilingual, and enable function-calling from voice commands, powered by the Mistral Small 3.1 language model backbone. Meanwhile, Moonshot AI's Kimi K2, a non-reasoning Mixture of Experts (MoE) model built by a team of around 200 people, gains attention for blazing-fast inference on Groq hardware, broad platform availability including Together AI and DeepInfra, and local running on M4 Max 128GB Mac. Developer tool integrations include LangChain and Hugging Face support, highlighting Kimi K2's strong tool use capabilities.
