3 new signals we're tracking
1. Laguna S2.1, Inkling, and Kimi K3 highlight the growing impact of open models on the AI Pareto frontier
model-releases - release, open-source - August 3, 2026
What changed? The demand for tokens is incredibly high, and likely to increase as models get more efficient and unlock more possible use cases. All of these labs we thought would need to consolidate are realizing that building token machines is a likely path to value, and more companies will identify that source of value over time.
