this cannot absolutely not be real. how can a reasonable person see this and believe it's real? they made an AI generated image threatening to wage war against the third largest city in the nation?

The difference between a hallucinatory and non-hallucinatory LLM generation is a hallucinatory one is uncorrelated with reality. Same goes for human thought. The definition of schizophrenia is a person who believes too many thoughts that are uncorrelated with reality.

Sonoma Sky Alpha does seem maximally intelligent, and also fast. Rumor has it that it's new Grok. It got this word puzzle/creativity test correct It only took ~1 min All other models have taken at least 5 mins to think before answering with a valid haiku on this one.

Many are saying these OpenRouter mystery models are new Grok. Does sound that way from these descriptions. If that’s correct, mightily impressive that xAI will be the first to put 2 million token context into production. Depends on the quality once you get towards the limit tho

if anyone should know how to prompt a coding agent, it's @thorstenball. he builds Amp daily. used GPT-5 Pro to extract the key steps in the prompt example he shared in qt here's the structure you can follow to do agentic engineering like Thorsten:

2 million token context models are cool but is it like 200k token context then response quality falls off a cliff? or is it for real 2 million?

The question is will Roman Yampolskiy still have his job in 2030? Who will he fearmonger to about losing their job once everyone has already lost theirs? These dudes are running a racket and the normies are eating it up.

new mystery models on OpenRouter: Sonoma Sky Alpha Sonoma Dusk Alpha likely Gemini 3 Pro and Flash? if so, Google is fairly back. potentially so back. these models are smart, fast and have 2 million context.
