Topics: find launches by the job, not just by the lab

Four topic hubs, each linking to full articles. A hub is a reading guide, not a directory — it only lists launches already covered as articles on this site.

Agents

Start with Muse Wonder (Active Memory and Active Focus, with the Wonder Full access split) and Claude Duet (waitlist-only, morning briefings and approval before sensitive actions). The agent question is access and approval, not just capability.

Coding

Start with Claude Haiku 5.5 (cheap, high-volume, subagent work), MAI-Code-1.1-Flash, and Kimi K3.1 Pro. For most teams, the coding decision is a cheap-model-plus-escalation pattern, not a single flagship.

Image and video

Start with FLUX 3 Image Klein (4K, 10 reference images, 8 GB INT8 version reported) and FLUX 3 Max (video). Price image and video per output, not per token.

Pricing

Start with Price changes — Gemini Argon’s December step and Mistral’s preview rates — then Gemini 4 Argon and Mistral Large 4 in full.
