  "account": "Three labs released new AI models in the week of August 26 to September 2, 2026, each emphasizing affordability. Anthropic reduced cache reads by 75%, making its Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 models accessible at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens. Z.ai unveiled a multimodal 320B model called GLM-5.3-Flash on Hugging Face, offering native image and video input at a competitive price point. Alibaba previewed its next-generation architecture with a model boasting six billion parameters per token. Concurrently, technology giants AWS and NVIDIA pledged to acquire an additional two million GPUs, while AMD introduced software version 10 tailored for agent-based systems. Meanwhile, MCP published a roadmap centering on agent identity for future specifications.",
