Gemini 2.5 Deep Think finally ships
OpenAI is rumored to soon launch new GPT-OSS and GPT-5 models amid drama with Anthropic revoking access to Claude. Google DeepMind quietly launched Gemini 2.5 Deep Think, a model optimized for parallel thinking that achieved gold-medal level at the IMO and excels in reasoning, coding, and creative tasks. Leaks suggest OpenAI is developing a 120B MoE and a 20B model with advanced attention mechanisms. Chinese AI companies like Kimi Moonshot, Alibaba, and ZHIpu AI are releasing faster and more capable open models such as kimi-k2-turbo-preview, Qwen3-Coder-Flash, and GLM-4.5, signaling strong momentum and potential to surpass the U.S. in AI development. *"The final checkpoint was selected just 5 hours before the IMO problems were released,"* highlighting rapid development cycles.
