The detection of gravitational waves associated with short gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A and observations of the TeV photons from very energetic events were the main breakthroughs in the gamma-ray burst field in past few years. 

I will discuss the recent multi-wavelength observations and theoretical progress in modelling of prompt GRB  emission, including the lepto-hadronic model, the emission from the structured GRB jets and the GRB 221009A soft-X-ray emission from its dust-scattering halo.
