San Francisco startup TypeSafe AI emerged from stealth on Sept. 15 with $40 million in seed funding led by DCVC and a first model, Jev, that returns typed decisions with probabilities for software to consume rather than generating natural-language text. Access is through an early-access waitlist.
Google on Sept. 15 introduced Gemini 3.8 Live and Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, two real-time voice dialogue models. They are rolling out to developers through the Gemini API and Google AI Studio and to consumer products including Search Live, Gemini Live, Gmail, Docs and Keep.
Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has released Atria Dawn Preview, an open-weight agentic model built on the GLM-5.2 mixture-of-experts base, under an MIT license. A technical report posted to arXiv on Sept. 14 describes its training approach and reports results on 16 benchmarks.
OpenAI on Sept. 10 made GPT-Live-1, the full-duplex voice model it introduced in ChatGPT in July, generally available to developers through its API. Voice sessions cost $0.05 per minute, billed by the second, with backend model and tool usage charged separately.
DeepSeek released V4.1-Flash on Sept. 10, an MIT-licensed mixture-of-experts model with 552 billion parameters, built-in image understanding and a one-million-token context window. The company also cut API prices and later reversed a plan to route requests for its V4 Pro model to the new release.
OpenAI says GPT-6 Astra is available in ChatGPT Work, Codex, and the API. Its product announcement describes the model as its most capable for professional work, including computer use, browsing, software engineering, cybersecurity, and science.
