Tencent recently announced its latest large language model, HunYuan-T1, claiming its reasoning capabilities rival OpenAI's best reasoning systems. Tencent reports that HunYuan-T1's development heavily relied on reinforcement learning, with 96.7% of post-training computing power dedicated to enhancing its logical reasoning and alignment with human preferences. In various benchmark tests, HunYuan-T1 demonstrated strong performance. On the MMLU-PRO evaluation, testing knowledge across 14 academic subjects, the model achieved a score of 87.2.

OpenAI released an update to its advanced voice mode on Monday, enabling more natural, real-time conversations with ChatGPT. The updated voice assistant is designed to be more human-like in its interactions and minimizes interruptions. OpenAI's post-training researcher, Manuka Stratta, announced the update via a video on the company's official social media channels. This update aims to address a common issue with AI voice assistants: frequent interruptions while users are thinking or pausing.

A recent joint study by OpenAI and MIT suggests a correlation between increased use of chatbots like ChatGPT and higher levels of loneliness and reduced social interaction. The study's findings indicate that individuals engaging in more frequent daily conversations with ChatGPT tend to report higher levels of emotional dependence, problematic usage, and significantly increased feelings of loneliness. These findings are from two studies and are yet to be peer-reviewed. Image credit: AI-generated image, licensed from Midjou.

OpenAI is facing a privacy complaint from Norway concerning its AI chatbot ChatGPT's tendency to generate false information. The case, supported by privacy advocacy group Noyb, was filed by Alf Harmar Holmen, who was shocked and angered to find ChatGPT falsely claimed he was convicted of murdering two children and attempting to kill a third. Previous privacy complaints against ChatGPT have largely involved...

OpenAI today announced the release of its latest high-performance inference model, O1-Pro. OpenAI states that the model offers significant improvements in performance and capabilities and is currently available to a select group of developers. O1-Pro is designed for developers building applications with 1-5 layers, supporting features like visual input, function calling, and structured outputs. It seamlessly integrates with OpenAI's response and batch processing APIs. However, this enhanced performance comes at a cost...

Noam Brown, Head of AI Reasoning Research at OpenAI, recently stated in a panel discussion at NVIDIA's GTC conference that certain forms of reasoning AI models "could have existed 20 years earlier if researchers had known the right approach and algorithms." He pointed out several reasons why this research direction was overlooked. Brown recounted his experience in game AI research at Carnegie Mellon University, including Pluribus, which defeated top human professional poker players. He stated that he helped create...

La empresa de investigación de inteligencia artificial OpenAI ha presentado recientemente al gobierno de Estados Unidos sus propuestas para un plan de acción sobre inteligencia artificial. Según los informes, este informe estratégico está dirigido por la Oficina de Política Científica y Tecnológica de la Casa Blanca y tiene como objetivo establecer una estrategia para el desarrollo de la industria de la inteligencia artificial en Estados Unidos. La propuesta de OpenAI se basa en su plan económico publicado en enero de este año y abarca el uso de la inteligencia artificial en áreas clave como la seguridad nacional, las infraestructuras y la energía. Estas propuestas detallan cómo Estados Unidos debería mantener su liderazgo en la industria de la inteligencia artificial y hacen hincapié en la rápida evolución de China en este campo tecnológico.

OpenAI has announced the launch of o1-pro, a new inference AI model within its developer API. OpenAI states that o1-pro leverages significantly more compute resources than its existing o1 model, aiming for consistently superior responses. However, this high-performance model is currently only available to a select group of developers – specifically, those who have spent at least $5 on OpenAI API services. Notably, o1-pro is significantly more expensive, costing ten times as much as the o1 model.

According to Bloomberg, OpenAI is making a massive investment in its first infrastructure project, dubbed "Stargate," with an estimated cost of $100 billion. The project's first data center complex, located in the small Texas town of Abilene, is planned to house up to 400,000 powerful Nvidia AI chips. Once fully operational, it will be one of the world's largest AI computing centers. Image Note: Image generated by AI, image licensing service Midjourney.
