After 12 days of technical sharing livestream events, OpenAI released its next-generation inference model o3 on the final day. This is an upgrade following the earlier release of the o1 inference model. The o3 model series includes o3 and o3-mini, with o3-mini being a smaller, streamlined version fine-tuned for specific tasks. OpenAI stated that the o3 model could approach the realization of artificial general intelligence (AGI) under certain conditions, meaning artificial intelligence capable of performing any task that a human can accomplish.

Recently, the famous programming competition platform Codeforces made an important decision - to prohibit the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in programming contests. With the rapid enhancement of AI programming capabilities, Codeforces founder Mikhail Mirzayanov stated that this decision is necessary as the development of neural networks has reached 'a new height that cannot be ignored'.
