LLM Launches & Updates

speka.info/llm-updates/

Model releases, capability jumps, benchmark results, context-window changes, and — crucially — pricing. LLM Launches & Updates tracks the frontier labs and the fast-moving open-weight ecosystem with a builder’s eye: not just what launched, but what it means for your architecture and your bill. We translate benchmark noise into practical guidance, compare tiers and API prices side by side, and flag the deprecations and rate-limit changes that quietly break production apps. When a new model ships, this is the page that tells you whether to migrate, wait, or ignore it entirely.
