MiMo-V2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed broke the 1,000 tokens-per-second barrier on a one-trillion-parameter model using a single eight-GPU commodity node — roughly 15x faster than GPT-5.5 or Claude Opus, and without a line of custom silicon.

More than 80% of the code Anthropic merges into production is now authored by Claude, up from low single digits before Claude Code launched — and leaders say some products are effectively 100% Claude-written. But Anthropic draws a careful line: this is not yet recursive self-improvement, even as it warns that moment “could come sooner than most institutions are prepared for.”

The sharper move is Grok Skills: instead of building a rival format, xAI reads Anthropic's Claude Code conventions directly, loading CLAUDE.md and .claude skill packs with zero configuration.

A June 2 update adds six role-specific plugins bundling 62 apps and 110 skills, a prompt-to-app builder called Codex Sites, and Annotations that now reach documents, spreadsheets and slides. Codex is at 5 million weekly users, with non-developers its fastest-growing cohort.

It's rolling out beyond enterprise to Business and personal accounts, but OpenAI is candid that it doesn't stop injections outright.

None of it is officially confirmed, but it offers an early look at the next model in the Mythos line.
