Three releases—Muse Spark Open, Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, and AI Edge Foresight—show local AI wins only where privacy, latency, or offline requirements justify its costs.
StepFun Opens 600B MoE Weights: 27B Active, 1M Context
StepFun's Step 5 Preview is now open weights: a 600B sparse MoE with 27B active parameters, 1M context, and a $1.00/$2.70 API.
Meta's Muse Spark Open Puts 816B MoE on Two Mac Studios
Meta's open-weight 816B MoE activates 42B parameters, holds 1M context, runs on two M5 Ultra Mac Studios, and leads on MCP-Atlas but trails on coding.
NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super VL: 120B MoE Runs on a Single GPU
NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL combines 120B total parameters with 12B active and runs the NVFP4 checkpoint on one DGX Spark, H200, or GB200.
1M Context Is Now a Pricing Problem, Not a Capability Race
At $0.10–$3.00 per million input tokens, 1M context makes whole-document vs retrieval an arithmetic choice, not a capability race.
We Planted 20 Wrong Figures for 4 LLM Editors. Here's What Survived
We replayed real edit prompts against Sonnet 4.6, DeepSeek V4 Pro, GPT-5.6 Sol and Gemini 3.1 Pro. Self-reported confidence told us nothing.
