Alibaba's Qwen team has released Qwen3. 7-Plus, a multimodal agent model that combines visual perception, GUI operation, and coding in a single agent loop. In a demo, an agent built on the model autonomously developed a vocabulary learning app, producing over 10,000 lines of code across 1,000 agent calls over eleven hours. The model leads on-screen understanding in Qwen's own benchmarks, but overall performance is mixed. Qwen3. 7-Plus is a proprietary offering with no open weights, priced well bel

An AI model programmed nonstop for 19 days on a single MirrorCode task that cost $2,600 to run
Epoch AI's MirrorCode benchmark reveals Claude Opus 4.7 as the leader with a 56% solve rate, reconstructing a 16,000-line toolkit in 14 hours. Despite this, all models tested struggle with the most complex tasks, highlighting limitations in current AI capabilities. The single task consumed $2,600 over 19 days, raising questions about cost-effectiveness in AI development.
