This week's new AI releases
Mintlify Autopilot (beta)
Always-on docs agent that watches your repos, Slack and support tickets, drafts doc updates when code changes and opens a pull request for review; in beta on Pro and Enterprise, 250 credits per PR.
Mercury 3 (Inception)
Diffusion LLM running at 1,000+ tokens/s with a 1M-token context; OpenAI API compatible on Inception's API, OpenRouter, Baseten and Vercel. Launch price $0.10/$0.35 per 1M input/output tokens (50% off list).
MiniMax M3.1 Flash
Agentic coding and computer-use model, nearly 3x faster than its predecessor with 70% lower agent costs; $0.15 input / $0.60 output per 1M tokens on the MiniMax API and in MiniMax Code. Weights to follow later.
Vercel AI Gateway session view
AI Gateway logs now group requests into sessions, showing the coding agent behind each one (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), cost, models, providers and cache hit rate per turn.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 + Search API
Upgraded DeepSeek V4.1 Flash with better coding and agent benchmarks, faster runs and shorter outputs at the same API price (model deepseek-flash); DeepSeek also opened its in-house web Search & Fetch API.
