ChatGPT Getting Smarter - Again - Robot Writers AI
ChatGPT’s maker OpenAI is promising to release yet another upgrade to one of the AI engines that helps power the chatbot — dubbed OpenAI o3. The performance of the new AI engine is three times better than its predecessor, OpenAI 01 — and that’s when OpenAI 03 is running on its ‘low compute’ setting. The new AI engine is even more impressive when it runs on its ‘high compute’ setting, according to OpenAI. Lead writer Maxwell Zeff reports that ChatGPT-maker OpenAI plans to release the new AI engine in early 2025.

*In-Depth Guide: Google’s New Deep Research Tool: AI expert Paul O’Malley offers a crystal-clear, easy-paced, step-by-step video of how to use a powerful new AI research tool from Google. Dubbed Google ‘Deep Research,’ the new tool begins its research for you by developing an in-depth, research game-plan for any topic you fancy. Once you approve the plan — which you can edit beforehand — the AI scurries off to the Web, visiting and analyzing hundreds — or more — Web sites to put together a deeply reasoned, well-written report on its findings and analysis. One caveat: Some reviewers have found that while Deep Research is accurate overall, the tool sometimes misconstrues nuances and its accuracy is not 100% reliable.
*Google Deep Research: Another Believer: Add writer Ryan Morrison to the growing number of AI experts thrilled with Google’s new Deep Research tool. In practice, Deep Research returns an in-depth report for you on any topic, complete with citations and references. “You can link back to any source it gathered the information from and even ask a follow-up question and have it refine the report. This isn’t a quick process: It can take several minutes to complete the search and provide the final report — which you can export to (Google) Docs."
*Google’s New AI Reasoning Released: Including a Peek Inside Its Genius: Determined to match ChatGPT maker OpenAI blow-for-blow, Google has released an update to its AI that specializes in reasoning — Google Gemini 2.0 Flash. Observes writer Carl Franzen: “Unlike competitor reasoning models o1 and o1 mini from OpenAI, Gemini 2.0 enables users to access its step-by-step reasoning through a dropdown menu, offering clearer, more transparent insight into how the model arrives at its conclusions. By allowing users to see how decisions are made, Gemini 2.0 addresses longstanding concerns about AI functioning as a “black box,” and brings this model — licensing terms still unclear — to parity with other open-source models fielded by competitors."
