AI moves fast. Here's what we're reading this week.
Multiple sources at OpenAI hint at a summer 2026 release for GPT-5, with first-class video input and an output mode targeted at consumer creators. The bigger story may be the pricing — early indications suggest GPT-5-mini will undercut current Haiku-tier rates.
Claude Sonnet 4.5 is shipping with a 1M-token context window for select customers. Early benchmarks show meaningful gains on long-document reasoning, particularly for codebases over 200K tokens. Pricing remains at $3 input / $15 output per million.
Gemini 2.5 Pro now tops the SWE-Bench Verified leaderboard, edging out Claude and GPT-4. The model also shows surprising gains on agentic tasks. Whether it changes the developer landscape depends largely on Google's go-to-market.
