## Summary

The model supports multimodal, coding, AI‑agent and long‑duration reasoning tasks and can handle up to 1 million tokens. Meta and Apple collaborated to optimise the model for Apple Silicon, and Apple’s research shows that a configuration of four Mac Studios can generate 36.73 tokens per second.

NVIDIA claims the Super VL is up to five times faster than competing models.

CERN and Mistral plan a physics‑focused foundation model named "Flare" that will be trained on roughly 1 exabyte of collider data. Anthropic granted six external researchers from METR access to its internal safety tools, while the U.S. FTC requested documents from OpenAI and Anthropic about safety and consumer‑protection measures. Amazon introduced two wearable AI devices under its Personal AI brand, "Bee", priced at $74.99 and $99.99 respectively.

## Key points

- CERN and Mistral plan Flare, a physics‑focused foundation model trained on ~1 exabyte of collider data

## Why it matters

These moves could reshape data privacy, research workflows, and the competitive landscape.
