OpenAI's law-focused Astra and Mistral's price cut lead today. Meshy and Kaedim also moved on 3D detail and pricing.
Model, pricing and availability changes we actually wrote into the map and the encyclopedia.
General models are starting to fork by industry and price.
Until last week, Astra was just one general model in limited rollout.
OpenAI launched Astra for Law, a legal-vertical edition that beats general GPT-6 Astra on legal tasks — its first industry-specific model.
Legal teams evaluating AI now have a purpose-built option. Outside legal work, this launch changes nothing for you.
Six months ago Mistral's lineup was still text-only at the top end.
Mistral shipped a new vision model and lowered pricing on its flagship API in the same mid-September update.
Anyone needing image understanding gets a cheaper option; skip this if you never touch vision tasks.
3D generation now comes with real, public price tags.
Two weeks ago, 4K-level mesh detail meant reaching for a pricier competing tool.
Meshy 7.1 added an Ultra 4K mode (4096³ geometry) and topped its own new Detail Richness benchmark against four rivals.
Game and film teams chasing fine detail get a real upgrade. For quick prototypes, the difference is basically noise.
Previously every price required a sales call before you could even compare options.
Kaedim now lists public pricing: Starter $150/mo, Indie $300/mo, Studio $1,000/mo — no more sales-only quotes for these tiers.
Budgeting gets easier since you can compare tiers upfront. It's still roughly $15 a generation — pricier than self-serve 3D tools.
Practical ways to use these tools, picked up from social media and community threads.
You can now touch up one section without redoing the whole song.
Suno v6 supports targeted edits to sections of songs you've already made; use v6 for precision, v6-wild for unexpected variations.
Saves you from regenerating a whole track for one section. Pick v6 when you know the fix, v6-wild when you want surprises.
