Andrew Ng's newsletter covers Kimi K2.6, a 1T-parameter open-weight vision-language model that leads the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index for open models, performing near DeepSeek V4 and Qwen3.6 Max. GPT-5.5 trails Kimi K2.6 at high reasoning settings but leads Opus 4.7. Ng's letter discusses how prompting has fundamentally evolved since 2022, promoting his new 'AI Prompting for Everyone' course.
