Back in February I started testing the NeoStack AI Plugin by BETIDE STUDIO for AI assisted Unreal Engine game development. The NeoStack AI plugin is still in Beta, and I am currently testing the latest beta version (v1.0.66). In addition to using OpenRouter to run free LLM models, NeoStack AI recently added the capability to […]
On March 5th, 2026, OpenAI released GPT-5.4 GPT-5.4 brings together the best of their “recent advances in reasoning, coding, and agentic workflows into a single frontier model”. OpenAI said that GPT-5.4 “incorporates the industry-leading coding capabilities of GPT‑5.3‑Codex while improving how the model works across tools, software environments, and professional tasks involving spreadsheets, presentations, and […]
Epic Games recently acquired Meshcapade, a startup specializing in AI technologies for creating and animating hyper-realistic digital humans. Meshcapade, a spin-off from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems based in Tübingen, Germany, develops AI tools that generate precise 3D body models and animations from video recordings. Meshcapade’s AI tools, built on the SMPL (Skinned […]
Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 4.6 on February 17, 2026 – almost 2 weeks after releasing their flagship Claude Opus 4.6 model. Below are the latest benchmarks that Anthropic published in their Claude Sonnet 4.6 announcement: You can read more about Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.6 here.
In this article, I will compare two specific domains: coding an agentic application (e.g., autonomous AI agents that use tools, plan multi-step workflows, interact with environments like terminals/browsers, debug in loops, and handle real-world software engineering) and game development (e.g., designing game logic, implementing mechanics in engines like Pygame/Unity-style code, handling physics/AI/pathfinding, procedural generation, balancing […]
I am currently testing the NeoStack AI Plugin by BETIDE STUDIO for AI assisted Unreal Engine game development. The NeoStack AI plugin is currently in Beta, and the original beta was released on the Epic FAB store on January 20, 2026. I am currently testing the latest beta version (v0.3.1) which was released on 2/9/2026. […]
The GLM-4.7 Flash model, an Open Weight 30B-parameter Mixture of Agents (MoE) variant, released by Beijing Zhipu Huazhang Technology Co., Ltd on January 19, 2026, is positioned as a lightweight, efficient option for local deployment and agentic tasks like coding. The Lunar Lander coding simulation coding test ran without any problems at 6.12 tokens per […]
Over the past 6 months, I have continued to test locally hosted open-source multimodal agentic models which could run comfortably on my Nvidia RTX 3080 with 10GB. Back in the August, I added GLM 4.5 to my testbench as it was surpassing or matching DeepSeek V3, Qwen 2.5 Coder, and Llama 3.1 in benchmarks. At […]
OpenAI released GPT‑5 today and it is now state-of-the-art (SOTA) across key coding benchmarks, scoring 74.9% on SWE-bench Verified and 88% on Aider polyglot. SWE-bench Verified: (Tests AI models on real-world GitHub issues, evaluating their ability to generate accurate code patches) GPT-5 with Thinking (High) scored highest with 74.9%, followed closely by Claude Opus 4.1 […]
OpenAI released their new Open Weights local LLM model today under the Apache License that you can download and run it locally on your own hardware without the need of a cloud subscription. The larger 120 billion parameter model will require a system with an 80GB GPU (who has that!?) or a MAC M3/M4 system […]
