What is the latest AI model from Meta?The latest Meta release in this tracker is Muse Spark 1.3, released Sep 2, 2026. Meta Superintelligence Labs' updated frontier model for coding and long-running agent work, now in Muse Code and Meta's API. The notable change is behavioral: it asks clarifying questions when a prompt is ambiguous, pulls the user in when it gets stuck, and checks before taking consequential actions — while using fewer tool calls and tokens than 1.2.

Anthropic's new top model for coding, knowledge work and long-running agent tasks, available to everyone. Cache reads cost a quarter of what Fable 5 charged, which meaningfully lowers the bill for agent-heavy workloads, and Claude Code users should see far fewer false cybersecurity flags.

What is the latest AI model from DeepSeek?The latest DeepSeek release in this tracker is DeepSeek V4-Pro (0813 Official Release), released Aug 12, 2026. DeepSeek's flagship V4-Pro model graduated from preview to full production after a nearly four-month preview period, with no changes to API pricing or integration for existing users.

What is Evertune?Evertune is the first Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform built to explore, measure, act and advertise across the entire AI customer journey, connecting brands directly to ChatGPT Ads and programmatic advertising partners like The Trade Desk and Index Exchange. Where most GEO tools sample each prompt once a day, Evertune samples every prompt 100 times per model across 11+ AI models, delivering statistically significant visibility data at half the cost of competing platforms. Evertune's agents do the work for you: a prompt agent mines over 150 million real user conversations to find the exact questions buyers ask, an insights agent tells you what to do next each week, and an ads agent builds a complete ChatGPT campaign around your visibility gaps. From there, Evertune closes the loop with website optimization, data-driven content creation, source-level influence mapping and paid activation through affiliate and programmatic AI retargeting partners. Founded by the team that pioneered programmatic advertising at The Trade Desk, now building the next marketing channel.
