Perhaps because of the disappointing results, Altman had previously written that GPT-4.5 will be the last of OpenAI’s traditional AI models, with GPT-5 planned to be a dynamic combination of “non-reasoning” LLMs and simulated reasoning models like o3. A stratospheric price and a tech dead-end And about that price—it’s a doozy. GPT-4.5 costs $75 per… Read More »
A large investment The path to creating a custom AI chip requires substantial resources. Industry experts told Reuters that designing a single version of such a processor could cost as much as $500 million, with additional expenses for developing supporting software and hardware potentially doubling that amount. The current OpenAI chip project, led by former… Read More »
Unlike conventional LLMs, these SR models take extra time to produce responses, and this extra time often increases performance on tasks involving math, physics, and science. And this latest open model is turning heads for apparently quickly catching up to OpenAI. For example, DeepSeek reports that R1 outperformed OpenAI’s o1 on several benchmarks and tests,… Read More »
On Sunday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman offered two eye-catching predictions about the near-future of artificial intelligence. In a post titled “Reflections” on his personal blog, Altman wrote, “We are now confident we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it.” He added, “We believe that, in 2025, we may see the first… Read More »
Microsoft Windows AI is watching A screenshot of Microsoft’s new “Recall” feature in action. Credit: Microsoft In an era where many people already feel like they have no privacy due to tech encroachments, Microsoft dialed it up to an extreme degree in May. That’s when Microsoft unveiled a controversial Windows 11 feature called “Recall” that… Read More »
Day 9: Tuesday, December 17 On day 9, OpenAI released its o1 model through its API platform, adding support for function calling, developer messages, and vision processing capabilities. The company also reduced GPT-4o audio pricing by 60 percent and introduced a GPT-4o mini option that costs one-tenth of previous audio rates. OpenAI also simplified its… Read More »
On Friday, during Day 12 of its “12 days of OpenAI,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced its latest AI “reasoning” models, o3 and o3-mini, which build upon the o1 models launched earlier this year. The company is not releasing them yet but will make these models available for public safety testing and research access today.… Read More »
Over the past month, we’ve seen a rapid cadence of notable AI-related announcements and releases from both Google and OpenAI, and it’s been making the AI community’s head spin. It has also poured fuel on the fire of the OpenAI-Google rivalry, an accelerating game of one-upmanship taking place unusually close to the Christmas holiday. “How… Read More »
Google DeepMind’s chief scientist, Jeff Dean, says that the model receives extra computing power, writing on X, “we see promising results when we increase inference time computation!” The model works by pausing to consider multiple related prompts before providing what it determines to be the most accurate answer. Since OpenAI’s jump into the “reasoning” field… Read More »
