SenseTime Ships SenseNova 6.8 Flash: An Office Agent Model With Long-Term Memory and Proactive Interaction That Builds Animated Slides, Motion Posters and Editable Blender 3D Projects

On the evening of November 2, SenseTime released the official version of SenseNova 6.8 Flash, a multimodal agent model with two main upgrades. First, long-term memory and proactive interaction: it keeps user goals and constraints across tasks and sessions and flags affected items when information changes. Second, design generation across Web, SVG, Three.js, Blender, animated PPT and motion posters, with Figma integration. It is live in SenseNova Studio, the Raccoon assistant and the SenseNova Token Plan; the official X account says the Token Plan offers a free trial of 1,500 API requests every 5 hours. SenseTime says it beats some international frontier models on agent collaboration, data analysis and presentation generation, but the announcement lists no specific scores.

Key Takeaways

  • The official release landed on the evening of November 2, positioned as a multimodal agent model for office collaboration and design delivery
  • Long-term memory plus proactive interaction: it remembers goals, constraints and preferences across sessions and suggests changes when related information shifts (demos ran on an internal Raccoon build)
  • Design output spans Web, SVG, Three.js, Blender, animated PPT and motion posters, producing editable PPTX files and Blender projects, with Figma integration
  • Available in SenseNova Studio, the Raccoon assistant and the SenseNova Token Plan; the official X post cites 1,500 free API requests every 5 hours
  • SenseTime only says it beats some international frontier models on agent collaboration, data analysis and presentation generation; no scores were published and there is no independent evaluation yet

SenseTime open-sources SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview, a 9B looped Transformer with about 14.6B inference parameters for long-context and agentic work

On Oct 30, SenseTime released SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview (Apache 2.0) on its official X account and Hugging Face. It runs layers 4 to 27 of a 32-layer decoder twice with the same weights, so each forward pass executes 56 layer computations while storing about 9B parameters, about 14.6B at inference, and it uses two-stream mHC (manifold-constrained hyper-connections) to manage the residual streams. It takes text and images, with training sequences up to 262,144 tokens. SenseTime charts show it beating Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.6 peers on BIRD-Dev, WorkBuddy Bench, and other agent and data tasks, while it still trails on Terminal Bench 2.1; the technical report is not out yet. The official launch post drew about 910 likes.

SenseTime open-sources SenseNova-Loop-9B-Preview, a 9B looped Transformer with about 14.6B inference parameters for long-context and agentic work

Key Takeaways

  • Structure: 32 distinct decoder layers, with layers 4 to 27 looped twice on shared weights for 56 layer computations per forward pass; about 9B stored and about 14.6B inference parameters (model card)
  • Vendor-reported scores: BIRD-Dev 71.38 (Qwen3.5-27B 69.84), WorkBuddy Bench 66.89 (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B 61.98), AutomationBench 13.72 (Qwen3.5-27B 10.17)
  • Weak spots from the same vendor chart: Terminal Bench 2.1 at 40.45, below Qwen3.6-27B at 47.19; tau3-Banking at 18.56, slightly below Qwen3.5-27B at 19.59
  • Training context up to 262,144 tokens; hybrid attention uses three linear-attention layers plus one full-attention layer per four-layer group; MTP speedup is available, DSpark and DFlash2 are still training
  • Apache 2.0, requires trust_remote_code=True; official examples cover Transformers 5.18.0, a 4-GPU LightLLM setup, and an SGLang PR, and the technical report is still to come
