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.

OpenAI announced an 80% price cut for its o3 model, making it competitively priced with GPT-4.1 and rivaling Anthropic's Claude 4 Sonnet and Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro. Alongside, o3-pro was released as a more powerful and reliable variant, though early benchmarks showed mixed performance relative to cost. Mistral AI launched its Magistral reasoning models, including an open-source 24B parameter version optimized for efficient deployment on consumer GPUs. The price reduction and new model releases signal intensified competition in reasoning-focused large language models, with notable improvements in token efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
