What a weekend at LA Hacks 2026!
Beyond connecting with the community at our booth, we hosted a hands-on workshop to help participants get started with Step 5 Preview and explore what they could build with it.
We also launched the StepFun Challenge and saw teams made especially thoughtful and effective use of our models.
Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by, joined our workshop, or took on the challenge. Congrats to our three winning teams!
We loved being part of LA Hacks and can't wait to see what you build next.

Congratulations to @StepFun_ai on Step 5 Preview going open weights! RadixArk is proud to help power StepFun's first-party production API with SGLang at scale.
Production inference means great token economics under strict latency requirements. SGLang and its cache-aware routing stack now bring that to Step 5 Preview in proven production traffic.
Building with Step 5 Preview? Deploy with SGLang today!

Step 5 Preview: The new pareto frontier of agentic finance is here
We ran an experiment: which open model gives the best M&A memo per dollar?
We had 6 open models write the same memo for 80 companies, and two other AI judges picked the best

Great to see Step 5 Preview live on @FeatherlessAI!
Frontier-level intelligence, competitive cost efficiency, and easier access for developers.
Step 5 Preview is here.
@StepFun_ai's new open-weights model sets a new Pareto frontier, matching Kimi K3 on the @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index!
It’s built for long-horizon agent work, with frontier-level results on software engineering and professional knowledge work, especially finance.
- 600B sparse MoE, 27B active per token
- ~1/6 the cost per task of Claude Opus 5.5, per Artificial Analysis
Now on Featherless, served at FP8.

Great to see Step 5 Preview delivering strong inference performance on NVIDIA GB300.
Looking forward to seeing what developers build with it.
Congrats to StepFun on Step 5 Preview 🙌 Their largest open weights release.
The 600B MoE model is built to handle agent tasks lasting up to 24 hours.
The model runs at nearly 8K tokens/sec/GPU on NVIDIA GB300 using NVFP4.
