Other notable examples include servers that connect AI models to home automation systems, real-time weather data, e-commerce platforms, and music streaming services. Some implementations allow AI assistants to interact with gaming engines, 3D modeling software, and IoT devices. What is “context” anyway? To fully appreciate why a universal AI standard for external data sources is… Read More »
OpenAI claims several key improvements: users can refine images through conversation while maintaining visual consistency; the system can analyze uploaded images and incorporate their details into new generations; and it offers stronger photorealism—although what constitutes photorealism (for example, imitations of HDR camera features, detail level, and image contrast) can be subjective. A screenshot of OpenAI’s… Read More »
It’s worth clarifying that AI models did not generate the images used in the study. Instead, researchers used popular, pre-existing meme templates, and GPT-4o or human participants generated captions for them. More memes, not better memes When crowdsourced participants rated the memes, those created entirely by AI models scored higher on average in humor, creativity,… Read More »
Even when these AI search tools cited sources, they often directed users to syndicated versions of content on platforms like Yahoo News rather than original publisher sites. This occurred even in cases where publishers had formal licensing agreements with AI companies. URL fabrication emerged as another significant problem. More than half of citations from Google’s… Read More »
Developers using the Responses API can access the same models that power ChatGPT Search: GPT-4o search and GPT-4o mini search. These models can browse the web to answer questions and cite sources in their responses. That’s notable because OpenAI says the added web search ability dramatically improves the factual accuracy of its AI models. On… Read More »
On the Frontier Math benchmark by EpochAI, o3 solved 25.2 percent of problems, while no other model has exceeded 2 percent—suggesting a leap in mathematical reasoning capabilities over the previous model. Benchmarks vs. real-world value Ideally, potential applications for a true PhD-level AI model would include analyzing medical research data, supporting climate modeling, and handling… Read More »
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 »
