StepFun unveils Step 5 Preview with 600 billion parameters and a 1 million-token context window

StepFun has introduced Step 5 Preview, its flagship artificial intelligence model built as a sparse mixture-of-experts system with 600 billion total parameters and roughly 27 billion parameters activated per token. The model supports a context window of up to 1 million tokens and can take text, image, and video inputs, according to Techub News. StepFun said the model is aimed at agent workloads in software engineering, professional knowledge, and finance, while lowering task costs without giving up a comparable level of intelligence. The company is making the model available through a hosted API and the StepFun platform. An open-weight self-hosted version is scheduled for release on Oct. 15, 2026. Third-party evaluator Artificial Analysis gave Step 5 Preview a score of 44 on its Intelligence Index, compared with a median score of 24 for models in the same price range. API pricing is listed at $1 per million input tokens and $2.7 per million output tokens. StepFun also shared benchmark results for FrontierFinance and DRACO, along with examples showing H100 kernel optimization in a 24-hour experiment and model capability gains from automated post-training.
