We just launched Step 5 Preview, and we'd love for you to be among the first to see it up close.
Co-hosted by StepFun and Together AI, this launch night brings together founders, developers, and AI builders for a first look at the model, a panel on what comes next, and an evening of conversations over food and drinks.
Step 5 Preview is StepFun’s new open-weights flagship LLM for real-world agentic work: coding, professional knowledge work, and finance. It delivers frontier-level results at a cost designed to make running agents all day affordable. Available now via API, with open weights releasing October 15.
Meet the model. Meet fellow builders. Whether you're building agents or curious about what Step 5 Preview can do, join us in San Francisco to explore the model and connect with the people building with AI.
