Latest AI Current??
Perplexity launched its official API, Sonar?
Perplexity launched Sonar and Sonar Pro APIs (tools developed by Perplexity that provide generative search capabilities powered by real-time, web-wide research.) It is now available to all developers, enabling real-time generative search with features like citations.??
Sonar is lightweight, fast, and affordable, with support for customizable sources. Sonar Pro offers advanced capabilities like multi-step queries, double the citations, and a larger context window for handling complex searches.

Google DeepMind introduces a new technique, ‘Mind Evolution'.?
Google DeepMind recently introduced Mind Evolution, a technique to optimize inference-time computation. It uses a language model to generate diverse solutions and refine them globally based on evaluator feedback, unlike methods like self-refinement or tree search that evaluate steps individually. In the TravelPlanner benchmark, which tests trip planning based on user preferences and constraints, Mind Evolution outperformed other approaches across varying complexities.

Mistral.AI announces its new AI code models?
Mistral AIs announced its latest models, which are now available on Vertex AI Model Garden: Mistral Large 24.11 and Codestral 25.01.?
Mistral Large 24.11 is a 123B parameter dense language model with advanced reasoning, coding, and long-context capabilities. It’s ideal for agentic workflows with precise JSON outputs, RAG, and code generation.?
Codestral 25.01 supports 80+ coding languages and excels in low-latency tasks like code completion, FIM, and testing. Its optimized architecture delivers over 2.5x faster performance.
