Strix now supports Vercel AI Gateway

, the open-source AI penetration testing tool, can now run on any of the 400+ models on Vercel .StrixAI Gateway Strix can reach models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Kimi, GLM, Deepseek, and others through a single API with no markup, removing the need to sign up for multiple providers. Usage and cost are tracked across all models in AI Gateway. Strix selects the Gateway through , where the model is the standard AI Gateway ID behind a prefix:STRIX_LLM / vercel_ai_gateway/ See to configure it and get started today.Strix's AI Gateway setup guide Read more

Particle-1 is now available on AI Gateway

from Particle AI is now available on . It is post-trained on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, with a focus on completing software engineering tasks using fewer tokens. Particle describes the gains as shorter reasoning, fewer rounds of trial and repair, and more focused exploration.Particle-1AI Gateway Use it for debugging, planning code changes, and breaking down multi-step engineering problems. Particle-1 has a 1M-token context window for working with code and extended task histories. Set in your environment. Use as the model name:AI_GATEWAY_API_KEYparticle/particle-1 To use it in Claude Code, Codex, Cu...

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 now available on AI Gateway

is now available on .DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017AI Gateway DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 is a minor update to that improves reasoning, coding, agentic tasks, and image understanding.DeepSeek V4.1 Flash The coding gains show up in terminal work and in building and editing whole repositories, and the agentic gains in multi-step automation. With images, the model reads charts and handles visual reasoning more accurately when it can call tools. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 also finishes tasks faster and with shorter outputs than the previous snapshot, so agent runs tend to take less time and use fewer output...

Accelerating Dropless MoE Training in JAX with NVIDIA Transformer Engine

Mixture of experts (MoE) has become one of the defining architectural trends in large-scale AI model training. DeepSeek, Qwen, and Mixtral are examples of MoE... Mixture of experts (MoE) has become one of the defining architectural trends in large-scale AI model training. DeepSeek, Qwen, and Mixtral are examples of MoE models that match or exceed the performance of dense model counterparts at a fraction of the training compute. MoE models provide efficient training through conditional computation. Instead of one dense feed-forward network (FFN) shared… Source

Qwen 3.8 27B scores 52 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index

Qwen 3.8 27B scores 52 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index That's the same score as GPT-5.6 Luna (max), and just one point behind GLM-5.2 (max) and DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 (max) - that GLM is 753B and that DeepSeek is 1.6B parameters, and Luna is size unknown but presumably a whole lot bigger than 27B. Qwen 3.8 27B is a truly astonishing model . Via Hacker News Tags: ai , generative-ai , llms , qwen , ai-in-china , artificial-analysis

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 (on OpenRouter)

DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 (on OpenRouter) The latest DeepSeek Pro model is now available, via API only. I had to link to OpenRouter because DeepSeek don't have any obvious announcement page for their new model. I haven't been able to confirm if they plan to release the open weights, but given the weights are available for both April's deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro and July's deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 it seems likely. Interestingly I got very different looking pelicans for the three different reasoning levels of low, medium, and high. I've not noticed this kind of difference from any other m...
