🔥 Top 10 Heavy Hitters
1. Claude Pro/Max Christmas Limited-Time Usage Doubled
Claude Pro/Max usage is doubling! Anthropic’s Alex Albert just announced that from midnight tonight until the New Year, Pro and Max plans will see their usage limits double. This straightforward move means no fancy promotions, just unlimited use. Take advantage of the holiday season and get those long-awaited big projects running.
2. Google AI Pro Annual Fee 50% Off, A Must-Grab Deal
Google AI Pro is offering a 50% annual fee discount for new users, signaling a sense of urgency. This plan includes Gemini 3 Pro, Deep Research, and 2TB of cloud storage. At just a few tens of dollars a month, it’s even cheaper than buying cloud storage separately. The only catch is that renewals revert to the original price, but hey, grab a year now and worry about next year later!
3. Notion CEO’s Long Read: AI is the “Steel” of Organizations
Notion CEO Ivan Zhao’s article on AI’s impact on organizations is a must-read for every manager. Using historical metaphors of steel and steam engines, Zhao explains how AI affects organizations: we’re still in the ‘replacing waterwheels’ phase, forcing chatbots into old processes. True transformation involves redesigning the organization itself—Notion already has over 700 agents handling repetitive tasks internally. His co-founder Simon now simultaneously directs three to four AI programming agents, transforming from a ‘10x engineer’ to a ‘30-40x engineer’.
4. MiniMax M2.1 Open-Source: Multi-Language Programming Crushes Claude 4.5
MiniMax M2.1’s open-source model is finally making waves in the programming arena. Its performance in languages like Rust, Java, Go, and C++ surpasses both Gemini 3 Pro and Claude 4.5 Sonnet. With 10 billion active parameters, its code repair accuracy in real engineering tasks absolutely crushes closed-source models. Open-source enthusiasts are thrilled; no more API fee headaches!
5. Alibaba Tongyi Open-Source Voice Interaction Large Model Fun-Audio-Chat-8B
Alibaba Tongyi’s Fun-Audio-Chat-8B model is finally here, a voice model that can ‘understand emotions.’ This model goes beyond mere speech-to-text; it perceives your emotions from tone, pace, and pauses, then responds with empathy. It saves nearly 50% GPU resources, boasts ultra-low latency, and supports direct function calls via voice. Its performance rivals GPT-4o Audio, but it’s open-source!
6. Anthropic Open-Sources Agent Skills Knowledge Base
Anthropic’s Agent Skills knowledge base, essentially Claude’s ‘skill tree,’ is finally open! This repository includes 16 demonstration skills covering areas like document processing, creative design, and development techniques. You can use them directly or create your own using the templates. The cleverest part is the on-demand loading mechanism—unused skills don’t consume tokens; they load only when needed. Claude Code users and paying subscribers can start experimenting now.
7. ByteDance Releases Seed Prover 1.5: Math Proof AI Wins IMO Silver Medal
ByteDance is serious about AI for math proofs with Seed Prover 1.5. This system employs Agentic reinforcement learning, flexibly calling upon the Mathlib mathematical library and Python code for verification. In the IMO 2025 and Putnam Mathematical Competition, this thing achieved silver and gold medal-standard scores. The tough nut of formal mathematical reasoning is finally being cracked.
8. Alibaba Open-Sources Qwen-Image-Edit-2511: A New Benchmark for Open-Source Drawing Models
Alibaba’s Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 open-source drawing model is finally a strong contender, offering character consistency, built-in LoRA, and Chinese text generation. This update specifically tackles the long-standing issue of inconsistent character features in multi-person photos and integrates various community-contributed LoRA effects. Its industrial design and geometric reasoning capabilities have also improved, allowing for direct generation of auxiliary lines. The Flux Dev version looks like a kid brother compared to this.
9. GLM-4.7 Reportedly Open-Sourcing Soon: Domestic Programming Model Reaches Peak
Zhipu is clearly making a big move with GLM-4.7. This model has secured the top spot domestically and among open-source models on LiveCodeBench and Code Arena, with its comprehensive programming ability rivaling Claude 4.5 Sonnet. Someone even used it to recreate Plants vs. Zombies, and it can generate a fruit-slicing game from a single prompt. Zhipu just submitted its prospectus to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, making this open-source release perfectly timed.
10. Baoyu’s Interpretation: Two Paths for AI Agents to Get Stronger
Baoyu’s article thoroughly explains AI Agent architecture, focusing on ‘Skills vs. SubAgent.’ The core difference lies in context management—Skills can easily clutter the ‘workspace,’ while SubAgents keep the main agent’s desktop clean. The article also provides three advanced tips: expand then compress, use a a file system for intermediation, and leverage the Rewind feature. A must-read for Agent developers.
