Key Points

  • Google Research: Introduced TabFM, a foundation model for tabular data classification and regression that can generate high‑quality predictions on unseen tables in a single forward pass.
  • ClaudeDevs: Raised Claude Platform API rate limits for all users, removed spend‑based tiers, and gave the latest Sonnet and Haiku models five‑times higher limits at the top tier.
  • Google AI: Launched two workflow updates - one model for ultra‑fast image generation and another to instantly animate those images, both at a fraction of the usual cost, highlighted by Nano Banana 2 Lite.
  • GitHub Changelog: Announced that Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash will be deprecated in all Copilot experiences on July 31 2026, urging migration to Gemini 3.1 Pro or Gemini 3.5 Flash beforehand.
  • Z.ai: Rolled out ZCode, the official development environment for GLM‑5.2, offering 1.5× usage quota for GLM Coding Plan subscribers, BYOK support, and cross‑platform availability on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
  • GitHub: Made Kimi Moonshot’s Kimi K2.7 Code generally available in GitHub Copilot as the first open‑weight model selectable in the model picker, noting lower cost with performance comparable to top‑tier models.

ClaudeDevs (@ClaudeDevs)

We've raised Claude Platform API rate limits for all users and simplified the tiers, which are no longer based on API spend.

The latest Sonnet and Haiku models now provide 5x higher rate limits at the highest tier. https://t.co/KMbvq1GU8H

We’re shipping two major updates to streamline your creative workflow, allowing you to generate high-speed images with one model and then instantly animate them with the other—all at a fraction of the cost 🍌⚡️

1️⃣ Introducing Nano Banana 2 Lite: Our fastest and most https://t.co/Cnr2aVxahs

GitHub Changelog (@GHchangelog)

Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash will be deprecated in all Copilot experiences on July 31, 2026.

• Update workflows to Gemini 3.1 Pro or Gemini 3.5 Flash before the deprecation date

🆕 @Kimi_Moonshot's Kimi K2.7 Code is now generally available in GitHub Copilot.

This is the first open-weight model offered as a selectable option in the Copilot model picker. 🎉

Early testing shows Kimi K2.7 is a lower-cost option with strong performance comparable to highly https://t.co/jHXIwEQU51

TabFM Brings Zero‑Shot Prediction to Tabular Data

TabFM is Google Research’s new foundation model that predicts on tabular classification and regression tasks without any per‑dataset training, hyperparameter tuning, or manual feature engineering. It leverages in‑context learning (ICL) with a hybrid attention architecture and is pretrained on hundreds of millions of synthetic tables. Benchmarks on the TabArena suite show TabFM (both default and ensemble variants) achieving higher Elo scores than heavily tuned traditional models.

Kimi.ai: Released the open‑source Kimi‑K2.7‑Code model, reporting +21.8% on Kimi Code Bench v2, +11.0% on Program Bench, +31.5% on MLS Bench Lite, and 30% lower reasoning overthinking. Google Research: Launched Gemini‑SQL2, a text‑to‑SQL system built on Gemini 3.1 Pro that hits state‑of‑the‑art scores on the BIRD benchmark. OpenAI: Added saved Codex rate‑limit resets for Go, Plus, Pro, and Business tiers (one free reset) and a two‑week invite program letting Plus/Pro users earn extra resets by inviting friends. Claude: Made dynamic workflows in Claude Code generally available, letting the model orchestrate parallel sub‑agents for complex tasks like codebase‑wide bug hunts and verify work before returning results.

OpenAI: OpenAI announced a limited preview of the GPT‑5.6 family—Sol, Terra and Luna. Sol is the new flagship, described as a step‑function improvement over GPT‑5.5. Terra delivers performance competitive with GPT‑5.5 at roughly 2× lower cost, and Luna is the most cost‑efficient model, offering strong capability at the lowest price. The company plans to make the three models generally available in the coming weeks, but the preview is currently limited to a small group of trusted partners in Codex and the API at the request of the U.S. government.
