OpenAI is preparing to release a highly capable open language model, their first since GPT-2, with a focus on reasoning and community feedback, as shared by @kevinweil and @sama. DeepSeek V3 0324 has achieved the #5 spot on the Arena leaderboard, becoming the top open model with an MIT license and cost advantages. Gemini 2.5 Pro is noted for outperforming models like Claude 3.7 Sonnet in coding tasks, with upcoming pricing and improvements expected soon. New startups like Sophont are building open multimodal foundation models for healthcare. Significant fundraises include Cursor closing $625M at a $9.6B valuation and Etched raising $85M at $1.5B. Innovations in AI infrastructure include SkyPilot's cost-efficient cloud provisioning and the launch of AgentEvals, an open-source package for evaluating AI agents. Discussions on smartphone privacy highlight iPhone's stronger user defense compared to Android.
