What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-21

Track; not yet

Why
Genuinely notable scale/architecture milestone (2.8T params, KDA + Attention Residuals, 1M context, native vision) with strong press and demand signal, but the open-weight claim is not yet fulfilled, independent Intelligence-Index scoring is more modest than the vendor framing, and live service is capacity-constrained — too early to treat as a stable, adoptable substrate.
Next
Re-evaluate once the promised open weights (due 2026-07-27, license to be confirmed) actually land on Hugging Face and third-party evals (Artificial Analysis, SWE-bench-class suites) settle on comparable numbers; also revisit once GPU-capacity subscription pause is lifted and API latency/availability normalizes.
