Google’s Titans and MIRAS use surprise-based memory, potentially easing transformer context costs beyond 2 million tokens while visual chain-of-thought adds 3% to 6% reasoning gains.Chinese-affiliated first authors rose from 9% to 30% at ICLR as the U.S. share fell from 52% to 36%, making open weights a distribution and integration advantage.Weekly leapfrogging, falling token prices and rising agent consumption intensify compute needs, while Anthropic’s possible 2026 IPO and trust—not benchmarks alone—could shape capital and adoption.
