OpenAI just dropped GPT-4.5 (aka Orion), their biggest model yet, focused on unsupervised learning for better world knowledge and emotional intelligence. It’s smoother, understands intent better, and hallucinates less—great for writing and creative tasks but not a math/science upgrade. Pro users and devs get first dibs, with broader access coming soon. The catch? API pricing is insanely high at $75/$150 per million tokens. While it’s more of a personality boost than a major leap, it might be the last big step in this AI direction.
Apple’s big Siri AI overhaul is hitting major snags, with insiders saying it might not be ready until 2027. Right now, Siri’s a mess of old and new tech that doesn’t play nice together, and users aren’t impressed with Apple’s AI features. Add in talent loss, leadership shake-ups, and chip shortages, and Apple’s looking way behind in the AI race. With rivals like Alexa leveling up, Apple’s playing catch-up in what feels like an AI crisis.
Tencent just dropped Hunyuan Turbo S, a speedy AI that’s 2x faster but still nails key benchmarks like GPT-4o and DeepSeek V3. It’s cheaper too, with a "deep-thinking" T1 model on the way for heavy tasks. China’s AI race is heating up, with DeepSeek and Alibaba also dropping new models. U.S. chip bans? Not slowing them down. Fast vs. deep thinking is the new AI battleground.
Adobe just dropped its Firefly Video Model in public beta, calling it the first “commercially safe” AI video tool. It generates 1080p clips from text or images, with solid camera and motion control. Firefly won’t train on user data and starts at $9.99/month for 20 videos. New features include AI lip sync, translation, and 3D scene references. With legal safety as its selling point, Firefly could be the go-to AI video tool for brands.
Google DeepMind just launched AlphaGeometry2, a new AI that aced 84% of International Math Olympiad geometry problems—outperforming the average gold medalist. It combines a Gemini model with a symbolic engine to handle complex proofs, solving 42 out of 50 problems. Trained on 300M+ synthetic theorems, it’s a huge leap from its predecessor. This breakthrough could seriously boost progress in math-heavy fields like physics. Pretty impressive!
