OpenAI launched Operator, a premium computer-using agent for web tasks like booking and ordering, available now for Pro users in the US with an API promised. It features long horizon remote VMs up to 20 minutes and video export, showing state-of-the-art agent performance but not yet human-level. Anthropic had launched a similar agent 3 months earlier as an open source demo. DeepSeek AI unveiled DeepSeek R1, an open-source reasoning model excelling on the Humanity's Last Exam dataset, outperforming models like LLaMA 4 and OpenAI's o1. Google DeepMind open-sourced VideoLLaMA 3, a multimodal foundation model for image and video understanding. Perplexity AI released Perplexity Assistant for Android with reasoning and search capabilities. The Humanity's Last Exam dataset contains 3,000 questions testing AI reasoning, with current models scoring below 10% accuracy, indicating room for improvement. OpenAI's Computer-Using Agent (CUA) shows improved performance on OSWorld and WebArena benchmarks but still lags behind humans. Anthropic AI introduced Citations for safer AI responses. Sam Altman and Swyx commented on Operator's launch and capabilities.
