Abstract:
The domestic 7-day long holiday has just ended and the three overseas AI giants have not been idle. They have been outputting like crazy in the past two days... OpenAI launched a 28-day plan of "no update or reset" and launched blockbuster updates for 3 consecutive days. Anthropic launched Claude Haiku 5.5, completing the last piece of the puzzle of the 5.5 series. The price is on par with its rival Luna, and it has also started to give out “benefits”.
SpaceXAI's GrokBot has sent out big moves for two consecutive days, taking cloud intelligence to new heights.
This speed has not slowed down at all. The three giants are going crazy.
OpenAI was the first to launch a 28-day planning offensive
A big wave of updates is coming
On October 5th, Tibo, the person in charge of codex, said that in the next 28 days, if there is no major update every day, a reset will be sent.
Let’s start with today’s update on Day 3.
Today, OpenAI announced that its latest generation GPT-6 AI model is now available to all users in Chat, not just paid subscribers.
ChatGPT has more than 1.2 billion weekly active users worldwide, but it has previously stayed in the GPT-5.6 series.
This means that GPT-6 has replaced GPT-5.6 as the default model of Chat and can be used by everyone for free.
Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users can use GPT-6 Sol, while Free and Go users can use GPT-6 Luna.
In addition, GPT-6 also introduces a new feature called Smart UI, which enables chatbots to respond faster and provide an interactive user interface containing text and visuals, as well as graphics, clickable buttons, forms, charts, and other interactive features.
In addition, today OpenAI also announced that the number of active users of Codex and ChatGPT Work has reached a new high of 40 million, and the quota has been reset again.
In addition, in the first two days, OpenAI increased the speed of GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6 Sol by 50% on Day 1. Although there is still a gap between the speed and Claude, users generally gave it good reviews.
On the second day, OpenAI launched four updates at once, but the response was mediocre. Tibo fulfilled its promise and reset the user's quota.
Claude Sonnet 5.5, the complete 5.5 series
Free API credit of up to 500 US dollars
At the end of September, Anthropic launched Opus 5.5 and Sonnet 5.5, and today officially released Haiku 5.5. The family is now complete.
Haiku 5.5 is positioned as a cheap, fast and small model, which is almost the same as OpenAI’s luna model.
Haiku 5.5 was last updated a year ago, and this update has greatly improved performance. Benchmarks exceed GPT-6 luna.
On the AA benchmark, Claude Haiku 5.5 (max with fallback) scored 43, only one point behind Kimi k3.
Some people in the community have tested and found that Haiku performed significantly better than Luna.
More important is the price. Compared with the previous generation, the API price of Haiku 5.5 is reduced by 90%, and the operating cost is directly reduced by 70%.
The API price of Haiku 5.5 is almost the same as that of Luna, and is already on the same level as DeepSeek.
In addition, the official also launched a major benefit. Max and team users can also receive free API quota of up to 500 US dollars per month.
Considering that Claude’s subscription amount is more than 5 times that of OpenAI, this is really outrageous.
The 5.5 series is the first level of performance, the quota cannot be used up, and it is given for free. How can other large model companies survive?
It is worth mentioning that Claude has just fully supported the Chinese interface.
GrokBot comes with Opus 5.5
Full access to X
Musk’s GrokBot did not release a new product, but instead further strengthened its strong circle of friends and ecological advantages.
The current mainstream cloud intelligent products are all closed in terms of model, such as Meta’s Muse, OpeanAI’s dots, and Grokbot before.
Just yesterday, Musk broke this situation. He announced that Grokbot will be connected to Opus5.5, the most powerful model currently, and other models can also be connected.
Musk’s move is very wise. His own model is still far behind the first echelon, and there is no way out of the circle like Muse. But he has a strong circle of friends, and Dario is on his team.
By connecting to other top models, Grokbot has a differentiated competitive advantage. The community is also full of joy, which indirectly gives more people a way to experience Opus 5.5. After all, the A/old account is banned.
Just today, Gorkbot has connected with X's powerful social network. Users can directly search, read and monitor X.
As we all know, X is still the fastest and most comprehensive social media platform for AI information. Both media and AI products need to be disseminated through X, which is a strong demand.
Compared to Muse, Grokbot is positioned more towards work scenarios. Opening up the X ecosystem is not only an ecological advantage of Musk, but also meets the urgent needs of users.
In the current wave of personal intelligence, Muse is more social, while Grokbot may become a new model with its strong ecological capabilities.
To summarize, during the seven-day holiday, the three overseas giants have successively released their big moves, and they have no intention of slowing down at all. From the previous model capabilities, the giants began to focus on price and ecology, bringing competition to a more detailed dimension.
For domestic manufacturers, the next step is to come up with more competitive products.
