RELEASE

October 29, 2026

Mistral posts Large 4 weights under a modified MIT licence that bars reselling access

1T parameters with 52B active, a one-million-token context, weights on Hugging Face from 29 October, and $0.70 and $2.10 per million on the API. Commercial use is free unless a firm resells access, so self-hosting turns on hardware rather than the licence. · Mistral AI

Google unveils Gemini 4 Carbon at $2 and $10, with general access undated

Introductory rates of $2 and $10 per million tokens, rising to $4 and $20; access starts with cyber defenders under the Fairwind programme, with no date for anyone else. Nothing to test yet; anything costed against the introductory rate needs the $4 and $20 figure. · Google

Autodesk put a meter on AEC Data Model exports on 6 October

Data out beyond a monthly allowance included with subscriptions is now billable; data in, administration and transfers between Autodesk products are not. Autodesk promises 90 days' notice on API price changes — the question for a practice is what its scripts are already exporting. · AEC Magazine

Liquid AI posts LFM3 weights, a 2B family covering text, vision and audio

Six models on Hugging Face the same day under LFM Open License v1.0, the text model carrying a 256K context and fitting in about 1GB at 4-bit. Relevant to any practice weighing what can run on a studio machine against what leaves it. · Liquid AI

OpenAI ships GPT-6.1 Terra at $1 and $5 per million tokens

In ChatGPT Work and Codex for Plus, Pro, Enterprise and Edu users, and on the API as gpt-6.1-terra. OpenAI pitches visual reasoning and computer use together; the question is what it gets to open, and whose name is on the check. · OpenAI

Graphisoft opens Nemetschek Creator early access on 28 October

Free to Archicad Collaborate and Max subscribers from 28 October, covering early design, feasibility and performance analysis, with the mature release held to 2027. Feasibility figures from an early-access tool still leave the office under the practice's name. · Graphisoft

Moonshot ships Kimi K3.1 Pro and promises open weights by 4 November

A 3T-class model with a one-million-token context, live across the Kimi apps and API, with full weights promised by 4 November. Promised weights are not posted weights, so the self-hosting decision waits on the repository. · Moonshot AI

DeepSeek retires the V4 Flash endpoints and reroutes them to V4.1-Flash-1017

The legacy names still resolve, now answered by V4.1-Flash-1017 and billed at the Flash price, with MIT-licensed weights and a million-token context on Hugging Face. Anything pinned to those names is running a different model this week, a change nobody had to approve. · DeepSeek
