Together AI has released DeepSeek R1‑0528, an upgraded open-source reasoning model accessible via its API. This update enhances function calling, long‑context reasoning (up to ~23K tokens), and code generation, achieving around 87.5 % on the AIME benchmark, nearly rivaling proprietary models.
Concurrently, FLUX.1 Kontext, from Black Forest Labs, became available through integrated platforms. It supports natural‑language-driven image editing and text‑to‑image generation in a unified model.
FLUX.1 allows semantic scene adjustments, style transfers, and character consistency in edits, running up to eight times faster than competing approaches.
