Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (RFT) is introduced as a data-efficient method to improve reasoning in LLMs using minimal training data with strategies like First-Correct Solutions (FCS) and Greedily Diverse Solutions (GDS). DeepSeek-V3, a 671B parameter MoE language model trained on 14.8 trillion tokens with FP8 mixed precision training, highlights advances in large-scale models and open-source LLMs. Predictions for AI in 2025 include growth in smaller models, multimodality, and challenges in open-source AI. The impact of AI on software development jobs suggests a need for higher intelligence and specialization as AI automates low-skilled tasks. Enhancements to CodeLLM improve coding assistance with features like in-place editing and streaming responses. Natural Language Reinforcement Learning (NLRL) offers better interpretability and richer feedback for AI planning and critique. AI hiring is growing rapidly with startups seeking strong engineers in ML and systems. New AI-powered tools such as Rivet, Buzee, and Konfig improve real-time applications, search, and SDK generation using technologies like Rust and V8 isolates.

OpenAI launched the GPT-4o Mini, a cost-efficient small model priced at $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.60 per million output tokens, aiming to replace GPT-3.5 Turbo with enhanced intelligence but some performance limitations. DeepSeek open-sourced DeepSeek-V2-0628, topping the LMSYS Chatbot Arena Leaderboard and emphasizing their commitment to contributing to the AI ecosystem. Mistral AI and NVIDIA released the Mistral NeMo, a 12B parameter multilingual model with a record 128k token context window under an Apache 2.0 license, sparking debates on benchmarking accuracy against models like Meta Llama 8B. Research breakthroughs include the TextGrad framework for optimizing compound AI systems via textual feedback differentiation and the STORM system improving article writing by 25% through simulating diverse perspectives and addressing source bias. Developer tooling trends highlight LangChain's evolving context-aware reasoning applications and the Modular ecosystem's new official GPU support, including discussions on Mojo and Keras 3.0 integration.
