MiniMax M3.1 Flash: Space Performance + Bunny Speed
🚀🐰 Yes, Space Bunny - which has topped global leaderboards with 200T+ tokens - was an earlier version of M3.1 Flash.
💰Redefining the performance economics of agentic AI. M3.1 Flash achieves frontier-level intelligence across key tasks such as Cowork (Automation-Bench: 62%; ALE: 30%), Coding (DeepSWE: 74%) and Visual Reasoning (BabyVision: 91%), at 1/3 the cost of M3 and 3x the speed.
API pricing (flat rate): $0.15 / $0.60 per 1M input/output tokens, with cache reads at $0.015 / 1M tokens.
Model weights will arrive on Oct 23.

The AI Builder Program is expanding across Europe with $10M in total support across compute grants, capital, and community programs.
Are you building open models, developer tools, or applications on top of them? The program helps builders go from experimentation to scale-up through:
- Compute grants for selected projects in areas such as open models, coding agents, post-training, and evals
- VC connections to help turn open source projects into companies
- Hackathons and demo days with communities including @AITinkerers, @techeurope_ , and @esra_robotics to build, connect, and share your work
We’re kicking off the European expansion this week at #NVIDIAGTC Berlin with @NVIDIAAI, @Accel, and a network of European VCs.
Building AI in Europe? Details below. 👇
ANTHROPIC 🔥: A new "Claude Money" feature is being prepared for release on the Claude app for iOS.
Claude Money (sounds like Claude Monet!) is Anthropic's personal finance solution that lets users connect their bank accounts to Claude.
> "Understand your money with Claude" - Link your bank accounts and ask Claude about spending, plans, and more.
This solution will likely launch in the US only, similar to how it works for ChatGPT Finance.
OPENAI 🔥: 3 new model references have been spotted on the APIs recently.
- aurora-red-alpha
- aurora-green-alpha
- aurora-blue-alpha
> These model references were removed shortly after so it was a mistake rollout.
> The chance that normal users will have a chance to test these exact models anytime soon is quite low (alpha).
> Higher probability of a new Daybreak update announcement. This also doesn’t exclude the fact that other model releases might be planned.
Not soon? 👀
OpenCode 就近期一起蒸馏攻击发布了官方声明。
> 今天早些时候，部分 OpenCode 用户在 OpenAI、Anthropic 和 Google 的余额被耗尽。
> 据报道，仅有 1.4% 的用户受到影响，这些用户已通过邮件收到通知。
这是一个严重的先例，因为如果这种蒸馏途径是最容易执行的，那就意味着各大 AI 实验室现在的防护比之前强得多。这也意味着使用小型服务商现在没那么安全了。
此外，领先 AI 实验室的 token 现在价值更高了，因为它们更难被拿去蒸馏。
狂野的 AI 西部 👀

We had a security breach last night related to a large scale distillation attack that impacted 1.4% of OpenCode Console users
We have notified them all this morning via email. If you did not get an email you were not impacted, it was a subset of users who had external providers linked
The incident is ongoing so we cannot share more details at this point but we are working with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google to remediate

OpenAI@openai
GPT-6 Astra Pro in ChatGPT got an upgrade with faster responses and improved use of plugins and tools.
And now, multiple agents can tackle different parts of a task in parallel. You can follow each agent’s progress and open completed tasks to review their work.
Now available to Pro users in the Chat tab.
Spent years watching models ace a single image and completely whiff on anything that moves or changes angle. Today we’re fixing that.
Try Glimpse now, our first visual thinking model with competitive frontier performance compared to Astra on key public visual reasoning benchmarks.
