Introducing Kimi K3.1 Pro: our most capable 3T-class open-weight model.
🔹 1M-token context, 2.8T total / 104B active params (MoE), Multimodal.
🔹 Full-project coding: games in Unreal, Unity & Godot.
🔹 Excels at parametric 3D modeling in Blender & CAD.
🔹 More reliable at finance work: Accurate modeling with hallucination down by 65%.
🔹 Matching the strongest proprietary models across coding, agentic and knowledge benchmarks.
Kimi K3.1 Pro and K3.1 Pro Highspeed (2–3× faster) are now live on Kimi.ai, Kimi Work, Kimi Code, and the Kimi API.
Open weights by Nov 4, 2026.
🔗 API: platform.kimi.ai

AI is now being used to recreate Adobe’s software, a developer has released seven free, open-source apps as clean-room alternatives to Adobe’s main tools:
- PhotoCraft → Photoshop
- VectorCraft → Illustrator
- FilmCraft → Premiere Pro
- LightCraft → Lightroom
- EffectCraft → After Effects
- DesignCraft → InDesign
- PrintCraft → Acrobat Pro
Built in Rust with help from Claude Opus 5.5, they run on Windows, Linux, and macOS under MIT/Apache licenses without using Adobe’s source code.

🚀 Meet Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo — create and edit images in just 8 denoising steps! Open weights now available!
Built on Qwen-Image-2.1, Turbo is an accelerated checkpoint on the same 7B visual generation architecture.
Fewer steps does not mean lower quality: it still generates strong 2K images from text, and supports continued creation through natural-language edits, from adding accessories to changing a scene.
Start directly with Diffusers: load QwenImage21Pipeline and the checkpoint’s recommended 8-step sampling schedule is ready to go.
🌐 Prefer an API? Qwen-Image-2.1 Pro and Turbo APIs are now officially live. Choose a hosted API for your application, or use the Turbo weights in your own workflow.

Meet Qwen-Image-2.1, the most balanced and cost-effective image generation model in the Qwen-Image series! Now open weights! 🎨
A unified model for both generation and editing, delivering top-tier quality in a lightweight package.
Highlights: 👀
- Compact & exceptionally fast: A lightweight 7B architecture that outperforms most closed-source models, with drastically accelerated inference for multi-image inputs.
- Native transparency: Natively generates and edits RGBA layers, enabling seamless compositing and text editing within transparent images.
- Versatile, high-fidelity editing: Supports up to 10 reference images and precise local control while preserving strict fidelity for portraits and products.
- Broad coverage & stunning aesthetics: Excels at panoramas, infographics, and virtual try-ons, delivering realistic textures and elegant typography.
Start to create your next masterpiece with Qwen-Image-2.1! 🖼️

Today, the Trump Administration is sanctioning the ICC.
This action should encourage our Allies within the Court to work for solutions to end this threat to U.S. sovereignty forever.

High-Velocity GPU Kernel Authoring with CUTLASS Python
Join Guray Ozen from @nvidia at PyTorch Conference North America 2026, where he will present recent improvements to CUTLASS for Python.
CUTLASS for Python is the technology stack used to write speed-of-light kernels for the latest GPU generations, powering today's most critical AI workloads. In his presentation, Guray will introduce several new productivity features for developers and agents, including CuTe extensions, CUTLASS primitives, a task scheduler, compiler diagnostics, and static checks to help catch errors before launch.
Join us on October 20-21 in San Jose: hubs.la/Q04v4SL60

How it feels to have dropped out of a PhD in Math to go into AI years ago
We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model.
We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results.

He was a gunner, and a fellow Tanzanian who was killed (and recorded while dying) by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

Talked to a startup’s founders.
In 6 months, 1 engineer built their web, desktop, iOS, and Android apps with AI. Just 1 engineer.
And they’re not shitty prototypes. They’re polished, well-designed, and reliable apps.
AI is turning 10x engineers into 100x engineers.
This wasn’t possible last year.

Today my thoughts are with Joshua Mollel, 21yr-old agriculture student from Tanzania. Hamas savages racially abused him then executed him on the spot on #October7. Dragged his body into Gaza and Kept him for over 700 days. Israel took him home at the end for him to rest in peace.

Congratulations to our first #NobelPrize laureate of 2026 🎉
Early this morning Karl Deisseroth found out he was awarded this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
He seems very happy with the news!
