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.
Promptable Prosody, SOTA ASR, and Semantic VAD: OpenAI revamps Voice AI

OpenAI has launched three new state-of-the-art audio models in their API, including gpt-4o-transcribe, a speech-to-text model outperforming Whisper, and gpt-4o-mini-tts, a text-to-speech model with promptable prosody allowing control over timing and emotion. The Agents SDK now supports audio, enabling voice agents. OpenAI also updated turn detection for real-time voice activity detection (VAD) based on speech content. Additionally, OpenAI's o1-pro model is available to select developers with advanced features like vision and function calling, though at higher compute costs. The community shows strong enthusiasm for these audio advancements, with a radio contest for TTS creations underway. Meanwhile, Kokoro-82M v1.0 emerges as a leading open weights TTS model with competitive pricing on Replicate.

OpenAI launched the o1 API with enhanced features including vision inputs, function calling, structured outputs, and a new
reasoning_effort parameter, achieving 60% fewer reasoning tokens on average. The o1 pro variant is confirmed as a distinct implementation coming soon. Improvements to the Realtime API with WebRTC integration offer easier usage, longer sessions (up to 30 minutes), and significantly reduced pricing (up to 10x cheaper with mini models). DPO Preference Tuning for fine-tuning is introduced, currently available for the 4o model. Additional updates include official Go and Java SDKs and OpenAI DevDay videos. The news also highlights discussions on Google Gemini 2.0 Flash model's performance reaching 83.6% accuracy. $200 ChatGPT Pro and o1-full/pro, with vision, without API, and mixed reviews

OpenAI launched the o1 model with multimodal capabilities, faster reasoning, and image input support, marking it as a state-of-the-art model despite some bugs and mixed community reviews. The new o1-pro tier offers unlimited access for $200/month with notable benchmark improvements but some performance trade-offs compared to claude-3.5-sonnet. Google released the PaliGemma 2 vision-language model family in sizes 3B, 10B, and 28B, excelling in visual question answering, image segmentation, and OCR, with day-0 support for fine-tuning. LlamaIndex announced discounts and feature updates for large-scale document processing. The AI community also reacted humorously to the new pricing tiers and model comparisons. "o1 can see now, which makes it the SOTA multimodal model" and "most users will be best served by free/Plus tiers" were notable sentiments.
