This Week in All Things AI - Week 15-2026
Zhipu's launch of GLM-5.1 and Cognition's release of SWE-1.6 were the big highlights with respect updates to agentic codel models. OpenAI's $100/month ChatGPT Pro plan with a 5x Codex usage definitely makes it quite attractive. Elon Musk teases multiple large xAI models (up to 10T parameters) in training.
The following messages were posted on the ' All Things AI ' Telegram group from Sunday 5th Apr 2026 to Saturday 11th Apr 2026

From RC who previously built Kimi CLI for Moonshot AI comes an early glimpse of Slock of what he terms an agent-human collaboration platform for modern builders and teams. Pricing not yet defined, he says that it will be free for the next 2 weeks. Hermes Agent support and Social Auth login in progress.
Hi, I’m RC. I previously built Kimi CLI at Moonshot AI.
Now I’m building Slock, an agent-human collaboration platform for modern builders and teams.
Today, we're shipping a ton of new features and improvements in Slock: search, thread inbox, saved messages, message permalinks,
Came across this on the OpenAI Codex rate card page
Note: As of April 2, 2026, we’ve updated Codex pricing to align with API token usage, instead of per-message pricing. This change is applicable to new and existing ChatGPT Business and new ChatGPT Enterprise plans - please refer to the new rate card in the section below for details.
Customers on existing Plus, Pro and Enterprise/Edu plans should continue to use the legacy rate card. We’ll migrate you to the new rates in the upcoming weeks.
All customers should carefully review both rate cards to understand the pricing changes, and how they apply to your plan.

Z.ai Launches GLM-5.1, Top Open AI for Coding and Long Tasks.
Z.ai released GLM-5.1, a 754-billion-parameter open-weights model excelling in coding and extended agent tasks, topping open-source benchmarks like SWE-Bench Pro at 58.4% and Terminal-Bench 2.0 at 66.5%. It outperformed GPT-5.4 and Claude Opus on self-reported scores by autonomously handling demos such as building a complete desktop with 50+ apps or boosting a vector database 6x via thousands of tool calls. Weights are freely available on Hugging Face under MIT license, with quantized versions for local runs and API access through multiple platforms.
we open-sourced glm-5.1
agents could do about 20 steps by the end of last year. glm-5.1 can do 1,700 rn. autonomous work time may be the most important curve after scaling laws. glm-5.1 will be the first point on that curve that the open-source community can verify with their own.
Anthropic Launches Project Glasswing to Bolster Software Security with AI
Project Glasswing gives vetted partners early access to Claude Mythos Preview, an advanced AI that excels at finding and exploiting vulnerabilities, scoring far higher than previous models on key benchmarks. It has already uncovered thousands of critical flaws in major operating systems, browsers, FFmpeg, and the Linux kernel, leading to patches. Members like Microsoft, AWS, Apple, Google, and Cisco are strengthening their codebases, with Anthropic providing $100 million in compute credits.
OpenAI introduces ChatGPT Pro $100 tier with 5X usage limits for Codex compared to Plus.
Expectations high for these upcoming models from xAI, hopefully they are competitive in agentic coding and also offer good price and are well supported by all the harnesses. June-July is going to get very interesting.
