Test-time scaling (TTS) has emerged as a proven method to improve the performance of large language models in real-world applications by giving them extra compute cycles at inference time. However, TTS strategies have historically been handcrafted, relying heavily on human intuition to dictate the rules of the model’s reasoning.  To address this bottleneck, researchers from…

Mistral AI used its inaugural conference on Wednesday to announce a sweeping expansion into industrial manufacturing, a new inference data center south of Paris, and a rebranding of its consumer-facing assistant — moves that collectively signal the three-year-old French startup’s ambition to become the enterprise AI provider of record for companies that refuse to hand…

Anthropic today released Claude Opus 4.8, an upgrade to its flagship model that ships at the same price as its predecessor, alongside a dramatically cheaper “fast mode” tier and a new feature that lets the model spawn hundreds of parallel subagents for codebase-scale work. The model is available immediately across Anthropic’s surfaces — claude.ai, Claude…

DeepSeek’s announcement over the weekend that it has made its 75% price cut permanent on its flagship V4 Pro model is a disruptive assault on the capital-heavy business models of Silicon Valley’s frontier labs.  The reduction on DeepSeek V4 Pro directly undercuts comparable Western models used as workhorses for enterprise production. It is 7x cheaper…
