    A green card, o3 vs Gemini 2.5, 6 Benchmarks and a whole bunch of my thoughts on what on earth is happening in AI, from here to 2030. Plus, how AI is becoming pay-to-win, and why.

    How Well Can GPT-4 See? And the 5 Upgrades That Are Next

    What exactly can GPT-4 see? And does OpenAI have a plan for physical embodiment? Over 12 separate developments announced in the last few days are covered in this video, in which I showcase how improvements in text, speech, 3D, and embodiment are beginning to complement each other. We'll take an early look at use cases for images in GPT 4, how Nvidia and Adobe are pushing boundaries in Text to 3D, at Sam Altman's Moore's Law For Everything, at the new LeRF model and Assembly AI's latest Speech-to-Text. We will also see how OpenAI already had a Robotics team but now is invested in 1x, developing humanoid robots. But they are not the first, as Agility Robotics has shown...

    Altman@Microsoft, Shear@OpenAI, Chaos@Everywhere: Sutskever Regret and the Weekend That Changed AI

    The implosion of OpenAI, a new AGI lab, Sutskever regret and a radical new CEO, the last 48 hours have altered the course of Generative AI. Drawing on multiple exclusive accounts, I’ll endeavour to recreate what happened, get more of the why as well as the when, and give you a clearer sense of the main players. https://www.patreon.com/AIExplained Altman Twitter: https://twitter.com/sama?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Brockman: https://twitter.com/gdb/status/1726530200484372688 Bloomberg new AGI Org: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-20/microsoft-says-altman-brockman-will-lead-new-in-house-ai-team?srnd=premium Atlantic Exclusive Extract: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/11/sam-altman-open-ai-chatgpt-chaos/676050/ Altman New Chipmaker Middle East: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-19/altman-sought-billions-for-ai-chip-venture-before-openai-ouster?fromMostRead=true The Information Exclusives: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-execs-invite-altman-brockman-to-headquarters-in-push-to-reinstate-them?rc=sy0ihq https://www.theinformation.com/articles/dozens-of-staffers-quit-openai-after-sutskever-says-altman-wont-return?rc=sy0ihq https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openais-rivals-rush-to-poach-openai-staff-after-altman-ouster?rc=sy0ihq https://www.theinformation.com/articles/breaking-sam-altman-will-not-return-as-ceo-of-openai?rc=sy0ihq Twitter Reports: https://twitter.com/ashleevance/status/1726469283734274338 https://twitter.com/emilychangtv/status/1726468006786859101 https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1726289070345855126 https://twitter.com/satyanadella/status/1726516824597258569 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1726376406785925566 https://twitter.com/ryan_t_lowe/status/1726565898742645104 https://twitter.com/ada_rob/status/1726570956305707265 Altman Board Comments: https://twitter.com/pitdesi/status/1725912296910921900 Emmett Sheer: https://twitter.com/eshear/status/1726526112019382275 https://twitter.com/liron/status/1672986864297578501 https://twitter.com/eshear/status/1703148152138977363 Sutskever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft0gTO2K85A&t=2322s https://twitter.com/ilyasut/status/1726590052392956028 Non-Hype, Free Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Claude Opus 4.7 - A New Frontier, in Performance … and Drama

    Claude Opus 4.7 just dropped, but behind every headline lies a deeper story. From a bonanza of benchmarks, to seeing the fruits of one of the biggest mega-projects in US history, to sneaky Mythos disclaimers, to Anthropic admitting compute restraints and, forcing lower capability of Opus 4.7. Where the new model falls behind Gemini but ahead of GPT 5.4, plus why some users are furious at Anthropic.
