The Latest AI Developments
DeepSeek-V3.2 is now live as the company’s new daily driver, claiming GPT-5 level performance. The heavier V3.2-Speciale pushes even further, scoring gold medals while rivaling Gemini 3.0 Pro on complex tasks.
Runway introduced Gen-4.5, its new text-to-video model that they say delivers the most accurate results yet. The outputs now look more cinematic and lifelike than before, but the AI still struggles with consistency.
Lux just came out of stealth, scoring 83.6% on the benchmark OpenAI’s Operator (61.3%) and Anthropic’s Claude (56.3%) both struggle with. The secret is training the AI on screenshots and actions instead of text.
