🤖 OpenAI introduces o1 (3 min)
After a lot of speculation, what we once knew as "Project Strawberry" is finally here for us to try. OpenAI has introduced o1-preview and o1-mini, their new model series focused on "thinking" before answering. In other words, these models are trained to mimic how humans solve problems, taking more time to think before arriving at a solution.
These models are designed for complex tasks, especially those difficult to tackle in science, coding, and maths. OpenAI expects them to have significant applications in fields like healthcare research and physics. However, the early versions of the models are limited to 50 queries per week for o1-preview and 50 queries per day for o1-mini. For other tasks, ChatGPT continues to leverage GPT-4.

Fei-Fei Li is well known in the industry as the "godmother" of AI, and a few months ago, she announced she was working on a startup that plans to create AI models with the ability to understand the 3D world. The startup, which she named World Labs, raised $230 million in its first funding round, with names like Andreessen Horowitz, Intel, AMD, and Nvidia on the investor list.
The main focus of World Labs is "spatial intelligence," and they will train "large world models" to give AI a better understanding of 3D, allowing it to reason and act accordingly.
💥 Google launches DataGemma (3 min)
Google's solution to hallucinations has come, and it's called DataGemma. These open models have been trained with their Data Commons database, which contains over 240 billion rich data points from reliable sources like the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and more.
The way in which DataGemma works is by enhancing Google's Gemma models through the use of RIG (Retrieval-Interleaved Generation) and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) approaches in order to improve the accuracy.
