Releases
Every major AI model and feature launch from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, xAI, Mistral and Microsoft, newest first, each dated and linked to its page. On Nov 8, 2026 the newest are Meta's Muse Spaces (Nov 6) and, on Nov 5, Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash, Mistral Studio, GPT-6 Cyber and Personal Finance in Claude.
The newest AI launch is Meta's Muse Spaces, on Nov 6, 2026. Nov 5 was the busiest day of the fortnight, with five launches from five makers. The models at the top as of Nov 8, 2026 are unchanged by them: Google's Gemini 4 Carbon leads LMArena's text leaderboard but is open only to selected cyber defenders, Gemini 4 Argon is the strongest model most people can use, and Claude Opus 5.5 leads coding (AI Leaderboards). The main paid plans still cost about $20 a month (AI Subscription Prices).
This page lists the major launches from the seven makers Vi.ki watches: new models, new products, headline features and plan or price changes. Anthropic's are covered in depth on claude.vi.ki and OpenAI's on chatgpt.vi.ki; the rest have their pages here. Vi.ki adds a new release within the hour of the maker announcing it.
