Breaking: OpenAI just released GPT-4.5, the startup's largest AI model to date.

Available now to Pro ($200/mo tier) users and developers on paid tiers via API.

Everything else you need to know about the highly-anticipated launch: Image
1/ GPT-4.5 is a leap forward in scaling unsupervised learning.

Reasoning models (like o1 + o3-mini) are great for STEM/logic.

Unsupervised learning increases world model accuracy and intuition — leading to better EQ and a broader knowledge base (and less hallucinations): Image
2/ OpenAI says early testers reported GPT 4.5 interactions feeling more natural and intuitive.

In human preference testing:

— 70.8% preferred GPT-4.5 for professional tasks
— 58.4% chose it for creative work
— 55.9% picked it for everyday queries Image

NEW: Microsoft just unveiled Muse!

It's an AI model that can generate minutes of cohesive gameplay from a single second of frames and controller actions.

The implications for gaming are absolutely massive:
Muse is the first World and Human Action Model (WHAM), and the scale of training is mind-blowing:

— Trained on 1B+ gameplay images
— Used 7+ YEARS of continuous gameplay data
— Learned from real Xbox multiplayer matches
From a single second of gameplay + controller inputs, Muse can create multiple unique, playable sequences that follow actual game physics, mechanics, and rules.

The version shown in research was trained on just a single game (Bleeding Edge):

NEWS: DeepSeek just dropped ANOTHER open-source AI model, Janus-Pro-7B.

It's multimodal (can generate images) and beats OpenAI's DALL-E 3 and Stable Diffusion across GenEval and DPG-Bench benchmarks.

This comes on top of all the R1 hype. The 🐋 is cookin' Image
For those wondering my quick take on what's happening right now with R1 and Janus

1. GPU demand will not go down
2. OpenAI is not done for, but Open source and China are showing they're far closer than anticipated
3. There's way too much misinfo being spread by mainstream media right now (almost seems on purpose?)
4. DeepSeek open-sourcing R1 is still a huge gift to developers and overall AI progress

I haven't seen this much confusion and uncertainty on my TL for ages...
