🔥 OpenAI launched o3 and o4 mini!

🚀 Open AI launched o3 and o4 mini!

Two new models.

Two different strengths!

One major upgrade in AI!

Both models now have full tool access in ChatGPT: browsing, Python, vision, and DALL·E.

🧠 o3

• The ultimate reasoning powerhouse

• Excels in math, science, coding & visual analysis

• Uses tools intelligently — Python, browsing, image generation, you name it

• Can tackle complex tasks end-to-end, like a real AI agent

⚡ o4-mini

• Small, fast & cost-efficient — perfect for high-volume queries

• Outsmarts much bigger models in math, code & creative thinking

• Best-in-class performance on AIME, SWE-bench & visual benchmarks

• Great for anyone who needs smart answers quickly

💻 New Tool: Codex CLI

• A terminal-based coding assistant, optimized for o3 and o4-mini.

• Accepts screenshots, local files, and runs code directly on user machines.

• Fully open-source + $1M grant pool to fund Codex CLI projects.

🛒OpenAI plans to buy Windsurf!

OpenAI is negotiating to buy Windsurf (the AI‑coding assistant formerly known as Codeium) for roughly $3 billion, with an announcement expected later this week, according to Bloomberg and TechCrunch.

If the deal gets through, it would be OpenAI’s largest acquisition till date and put the Microsoft‑backed lab in direct competition with the very coding‑assistant companies it has invested in, including Cursor.

⚡ Anthropic’s Claude gets new upgrade!

Anthropic just turbo‑charged Claude. The new Research beta chains web and internal searches. It cites every source. It delivers rich answers in minutes.

A Google Workspace link now lets Claude scan Gmail, Calendar and Docs. It fetches emails, meetings and files on demand.

🌐 NVIDIA Brings AI Hardware Production to the U.S.

NVIDIA is now building its AI chips and supercomputers entirely in the U.S., with new facilities in Arizona and Texas. This move strengthens its supply chain, supports job growth, and marks a major shift in AI infrastructure development.

Blackwell chips are already being manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona, through a partnership with TSMC. Meanwhile, large-scale assembly of AI systems is underway in Texas, with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas.

⚙️ OpenAI updated “Preparedness Framework”

OpenAI has refined its Preparedness Framework to better manage risks from powerful AI models. The update introduces clearer risk categories, stricter safeguards, and faster, scalable evaluations.

Two capability levels: High and Critical - now guide deployment decisions, with new reports detailing how risks are minimized.

🧠AI Word of the Day: "Tokenization"

Tokenization is the process of breaking down text into smaller units called tokens—like words, subwords, or even characters - so that AI models like ChatGPT can understand and process them.

Example:
The sentence "ChatGPT is amazing!" might be tokenized as:
["Chat", "G", "PT", " is", " amazing", "!"] (depending on the tokenizer used).
