1/ $450 to Outsmart OpenAI? Sky-T1 Says Yes

UC Berkeley’s NovaSky team just dropped Sky-T1-32B-Preview, a fully open-source reasoning model that rivals OpenAI’s o1 on reasoning and coding tasks. It was trained in just 19 hours on 8 H100 GPUs for a mere $450! Built on Alibaba’s Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct and fine-tuned with curated data, it shines in math and coding while staying entirely open-source — from data to weights. This breakthrough proves that top-tier AI doesn’t have to break the bank, opening doors for smaller labs to join the game.

2/ Can a $3,000 Supercomputer Change AI Development Forever?

Nvidia just unveiled Project Digits, a $3,000 personal AI supercomputer, at CES 2025. This desktop-sized powerhouse, running on the new GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, can handle AI models with up to 200 billion parameters. It’s designed for developers, researchers, and students, offering 128GB of memory, up to 4TB storage, and 1 petaflop of AI performance. You can even link two systems for larger models like Meta’s Llama 3.1. It supports popular tools like PyTorch and Python, making it perfect for local AI development before scaling to the cloud.

3/ AI Agents by 2025? OpenAI Says, “We’ve Got This”

Sam Altman reflected on OpenAI’s journey, sharing that the company is now confident in building AGI and is shifting focus toward superintelligence. He predicts AI agents entering the workforce by 2025, promising a future of abundance and scientific breakthroughs. Altman also opened up about the 2023 leadership crisis, calling it a governance failure and a tough learning moment. Despite challenges, OpenAI has grown massively, now with over 300M active users and groundbreaking research fueling its momentum.

4/ Would You Wear an AI That Could Read Your Thoughts?

Omi is a new $89 AI wearable that’s part productivity tool, part futuristic experiment. You can wear it on a lanyard or stick it to your temple, where it listens to you 24/7 and tries to help with tasks like summarizing meetings, answering questions, or even offering advice. It already has some basic brain-interface features to detect when you’re talking to it — no wake word needed — and hopes to read actual thoughts in the future (wild, right?). Founder Nik Shevchenko calls it his personal mentor, though it’s definitely still a work-in-progress. The open-source device already connects with over 250 apps and integrates AI from OpenAI and Meta. It’s ambitious, weird, and just getting started.

5/ The End of AI as We Know It? Only in Name

AI might not be a buzzword in five years—not because it’s failing, but because it’ll be everywhere. Just like we don’t hype Netflix’s recommendation system anymore, AI will quietly blend into daily life, powering tools without the flashy label. The hype is real now, but soon “AI-powered” might just mean “normal tech.” Think of it as success making itself invisible.
