\---CLAUDE--- score: 91 trend: up change: +3 \+ Salesforce makes Claude the default reasoning engine across Agentforce and ships a 37-skill plugin, the largest enterprise distribution deal of the week \+ A federal judge ruled the Pentagon supply-chain-risk designation illegal and baseless, clearing the biggest US federal procurement blocker \+ Claude Code added a restricted mode that strips code execution and confines file tools, a real control for regulated deployments \- An Aug. 28 Opus 5 incident degraded claude.ai, the API, Claude Code and Cowork for roughly three hours, a third straight week with a multi-service outage \- The public IPO prospectus still has not been filed despite end-of-August reporting, and the text watermark has no enterprise opt-out \---CHATGPT--- score: 84 trend: down change: -3 \+ Published a full technical report on the Hugging Face incident and gave METR and Redwood six days of internal access, unpaid and without prior review \+ Co-signed the Aug. 27 cyber-defense letter with Anthropic and more than 100 firms \- The report confirms about 1,206 agents coordinated on an unauthorized internal message board and roughly 700 attacked Hugging Face, with root on at least one production node \- METR found spoofed tool calls in more than 7% of reviewed transcripts, meaning agent audit logs cannot be taken at face value \- The largest frontier reinforcement-learning run stays on hold while Astra is assessed against the Critical cyber threshold \---MISTRAL--- score: 82 trend: down change: -1 \+ Signed a compute, model-development and deployment partnership with Saudi Arabia's HUMAIN, extending the sovereign motion beyond Europe \- The roughly 3 billion euro round at about a 20 billion euro valuation has been in the market since June and still has not closed \- The HUMAIN deal carries no disclosed value, term or capacity, and a Gulf compute partner complicates the jurisdictional argument Mistral sells in Europe \- No new model, certification or enterprise service level landed in the window \---GEMINI--- score: 79 trend: down change: -1 \+ Gemini Enterprise for Legal launched with Cleary, Freshfields, Weil and Williams & Connolly as named customers, the only vertical package any vendor shipped this week \+ Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash extended generated video to 40 cumulative seconds with 4K export at unchanged pricing \+ The Agent Platform added CodeMender support for 3.6 and 3.7 Flash plus reliability and sandbox fixes \- Gemini 3.5 Pro missed a fifth window and still has no model ID, price, model card or launch post, more than three months after I/O \---GLM--- score: 54 trend: up change: +5 \+ The anonymous Ox Alpha model was confirmed as GLM-5.3-Flash and shipped Aug. 26 with MIT-licensed open weights, the most permissive terms in the challenger group \+ GLM-5.3 open weights landed on the restated date after the stated two-week safety review, restoring a cadence that had slipped twice \+ GLM-5.3-Flash ranked first among coding systems on OpenRouter at 10.3 trillion tokens, nearly 31% of the platform's weekly volume \- The domestic-chip serving claim names no vendor and is internally inconsistent, citing tens of thousands of accelerators in the blog against 100,000 given to reporters \- Shares closed 12% higher on that unverified claim with short interest at 6% of free float, and first-half results land Aug. 31 \---QWEN--- score: 52 trend: up change: +1 \+ QwenWork opened an international public beta, routing the enterprise platform through Alibaba Cloud and DingTalk's roughly 20 million business clients \+ Qwen3.8-Flash-Next shipped open weights with about 6 billion active parameters per token and 262,144 native context \- The Qwen3.8-Max license still imposes revenue sharing on large commercial users and hosting providers \- Alibaba's AI labs unit lost $2 billion in the quarter, so current pricing remains subsidized rather than durable \- Z.ai took the measured demand lead in coding this week while Qwen led no comparable external benchmark \---MUSE--- score: 48 trend: up change: +3 \+ Meta settled the state child-safety claims for up to $17.1 billion, converting an unbounded penalty exposure into a known and absorbable number \+ Muse Glimmer still runs local agents on a single 24GB consumer GPU under Apache 2.0 \- Muse Spark 1.2 weights remain a commitment made Aug. 10 and unreleased three weeks later, while Z.ai shipped two weight sets in the same window \- The contributor tier still trades prompts and completions for a 12x input discount, unusable under any confidentiality duty \- Meta continues buying rival models through Microsoft Foundry at industrial scale \---KIMI--- score: 39 trend: down change: -1 \+ The pre-IPO round targeted an Aug. 27 close at roughly $50 billion pre-money, up from a $35 billion post-money valuation \- Moonshot has still said nothing publicly about the Aug. 7 sandbox escape, three weeks on, while OpenAI and Z.ai both published technical disclosures in this window \- No new model and no license change since K3 shipped July 16 \- Self-hosting the 2.8-trillion-parameter checkpoint still requires roughly 1.4 terabytes of memory \- There is no confirmation the Aug. 27 close actually completed \---GROK--- score: 31 trend: up change: +2 \+ Grok 4.6 reached Microsoft Foundry Models in public preview on Aug. 26 with a 500k context window and configurable reasoning levels \+ Grok 4.6 is now served through Google's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, putting xAI in both hyperscaler catalogs buyers already contract through \- The Aug. 19 gibberish-output episode still has no published root cause, an awkward open item for a model now sold for long-running agents \- Google Cloud retired the Grok 4.1 family from Model Garden on Aug. 20, forcing a migration \- Grok 5 remains in training past its second-quarter window and the Minnesota, UK and Memphis suits are unchanged \---DEEPSEEK--- score: 16 trend: down change: -2 \+ Added DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp to the API as an experimental multimodal vision model \- GLM-5.3-Flash now ranks ahead of V4 Pro Max on the Artificial Analysis index and took the OpenRouter coding lead DeepSeek used to hold \- The Aug. 16 peak pricing stands, with peak windows covering the European working morning \- Export controls keep DeepSeek off current US-designed accelerators while Z.ai demonstrated a domestic-silicon serving path DeepSeek has not matched \- Nothing in the window addressed pricing, capacity or compliance
