Meta hires Scale AI's Alexandr Wang to lead its new "Superintelligence" division following a $15 billion investment for a 49% stake in Scale. Lamini's Sharon Zhou joins AMD as VP of AI under Lisa Su, while Instacart's Fidji Simo becomes CEO of Apps at OpenAI under Sama. Meta offers over $10 million/year compensation packages to top researchers, successfully recruiting Jack Rae from Gemini. OpenAI releases o3-pro model to ChatGPT Pro users and API, outperforming o3 and setting new benchmarks like Extended NYT Connections and SnakeBench. Despite being slower than o1-pro, o3-pro excels in reasoning and complex problem-solving. OpenAI cuts o3 pricing by 80%, making it cheaper than GPT-4o and pressuring competitors like Google and Anthropic to lower prices. Users can now fine-tune the GPT-4.1 family using direct preference optimization (DPO) for subjective tasks.

Cursor, an AI-native IDE, announced a speculative edits algorithm for code editing that surpasses GPT-4 and GPT-4o in accuracy and latency, achieving speeds of over 1000 tokens/s on a 70b model. OpenAI released GPT-4o with multimodal capabilities including audio, vision, and text, noted to be 2x faster and 50% cheaper than GPT-4 turbo, though with mixed coding performance. Anthropic introduced streaming, forced tool use, and vision features for developers. Google DeepMind unveiled Imagen Video and Gemini 1.5 Flash, a small model with a 1M-context window. HuggingFace is distributing $10M in free GPUs for open-source AI models like Llama, BLOOM, and Stable Diffusion. Evaluation insights highlight challenges with LLMs on novel problems and benchmark saturation, with new benchmarks like MMLU-Pro showing significant drops in top model performance.
