DEEPSEEK'S R1 LEAPS OVER XAI, META, AND ANTHROPIC TO BE TIED AS THE WORLD'S #2 AI LAB AND THE UNDISPUTED OPEN-WEIGHTS LEADER

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

DeepSeek R1 0528 has jumped from 60 to 68 in the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. This positions the model as higher intelligence than xAI's Grok 3 mini, Nvidia's Llama Nemotron Ultra, Meta's Llama 4 Maverick, and Alibaba's Qwen 3 253, and equal to Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro. The model has increased intelligence across the board from previous generations without any changes to its architecture. The gap between open and closed models is now smaller than ever.
