The biggest news last week was undoubtedly the launch of OpenAI Sora 2. You need an invite code to try it, but if you have it you’re in for a world of fun. If you haven’t already seen Sora 2 in action, do yourself a favor and spend 2 minutes watching The Quack short movie…

Just how good are today’s state-of-the-art AI models at doing normal office work? To test this, OpenAI just introduced GDPval, a new benchmark focusing on AI model performance on real work tasks, tested against professionals with 14 years of experience. Last year’s best model, GPT-4o, was only better than humans in 13.7% of all tests.…

How many days would it take a full team to rebuild the entire application Apple Notes?

Do you know what a vision backbone is in AI? The word backbone here refers to a feature extraction network that processes input data into meaningful feature representations, also called a feature extractor. Examples of vision backbones are the traditional AlexNet which initiated the modern era of deep learning, ResNet and Google Inception (GoogLeNet). Training…

Last week OpenAI launched GPT-5, their new “system of models”. Unlike GPT-4 and GPT-4o, GPT-5 is not a model but is instead a system with a smart router (OpenAI calls it the “autoswitcher”) that will try to direct your message to the right model for the task. Ask it to solve a math problem –…
