OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is making some big moves. They’re reportedly looking to raise a staggering $40 billion in new funding, which could boost their value to around $340 billion.

This comes after they already raised a hefty $6.6 billion from big names like Microsoft, NVIDIA, and SoftBank, money they needed to avoid going under given their projected $5 billion loss in the next year.

What’s really interesting is that SoftBank is rumored to be leading this new round, potentially investing between $15 and $25 billion. If this happens, they’d become OpenAI’s biggest investor, taking the top spot from Microsoft.

This massive influx of cash could more than double OpenAI’s value in just a few months. They were worth about $157 billion in October. Where’s all this money going? Well, part of it is supposedly earmarked for “Stargate,” a huge $500 billion project to build data centers across the US.

This is likely their way of staying ahead of the competition, especially up-and-coming Chinese AI companies like DeepSeek. It’s a race to the top in the world of AI, and OpenAI seems determined to win.

On one hand, investors are eager for the company to become profitable, pushing them to focus more on the business side of things. This makes sense, as they’ve poured a lot of money into OpenAI and want to see a return on their investment.

But on the other hand, there’s the legal battle with Elon Musk, who was one of the early backers of OpenAI. He’s accusing the company and its CEO, Sam Altman, of betraying the original vision of OpenAI, which was to develop AI for the benefit of humanity, not for profit. Musk even claims he was misled into investing, believing it was for a purely humanitarian cause. 

It’s a tricky situation for OpenAI. They need to keep their investors happy by making money, but they also need to address the concerns raised by Musk and others about their ethical responsibilities and the potential dangers of unchecked AI development. It seems they’re walking a tightrope between innovation, profit, and ethical considerations.

So, even though OpenAI is leading the pack in the AI world right now, they’re not out of the woods yet. Experts are saying they could be vulnerable to outside influence or even a hostile takeover if they don’t start making some serious money within the next two years. Basically, they’d have to pay back their investors if they can’t become profitable.

One of the biggest worries is that Microsoft might just buy them out within the next three years. The thinking is that the hype around AI could die down, and if OpenAI’s partnerships start to fall apart, Microsoft might see it as a good opportunity to take over.

It’s also worth noting that even with all their success, OpenAI is projected to lose a whopping $44 billion before they might actually turn a profit, possibly around 2029. Running and training these advanced AI models is incredibly expensive, not to mention paying all those talented employees and getting the necessary data. And let’s not forget that Microsoft gets a cut of their revenue—a significant 20%, according to reports. So, while they’re ahead now, they’ve got some big challenges to overcome to stay on top.

ChatGPT’s Advanced AI Costs $200/mo Is Now Free For Windows Users

Microsoft is making a bold move to make powerful AI more accessible. They’re giving users of their Copilot service what seems like unlimited access to OpenAI’s top-tier language model, GPT-4 Turbo (previously known as o1), through a new feature called “Think Deeper.”

The key here is that it’s essentially free (as part of the Copilot subscription). OpenAI itself charges a hefty $200 per month for unlimited access to GPT-4 Turbo with ChatGPT Pro, or offers limited access through the $20 per month ChatGPT Plus plan.

By including this powerful AI in Copilot, Microsoft is shaking up the AI landscape. This could be a game-changer for users who want to leverage advanced AI capabilities without breaking the bank.

On Wednesday, Microsoft’s chief of Microsoft AI, Mustafa Suleyman, announced that access to the o1 model would be available to Copilot users “everywhere at no cost.” Access to the model will be provided by Copilot’s “Think Deeper” function, which requires a few seconds to ponder and research an answer and spit out a response. Because the Copilot app on Windows is now just a PWA, or webpage, you can access it by either the Copilot app on Windows or via copilot.microsoft.com. You’ll need to sign in with a Microsoft account.

(The “Think Deeper” control in Copilot is essentially a toggle switch. Just make sure it’s “on,” or highlighted, before you enter your query.)

It seems like Microsoft is giving Copilot a serious upgrade with “Think Deeper”! It’s like Copilot has been hitting the books and is ready to tackle more complex tasks. Instead of just giving short, quick answers, Think Deeper is all about diving deep and giving you more thoughtful and detailed responses.

Don’t expect it to be like Google, though. It won’t give you up-to-the-minute news or search results. Think Deeper is more like an expert on things that don’t really change much, like explaining scientific concepts or analyzing historical events.

For example, it could help you understand how hurricanes form by explaining the water cycle and how evaporation plays a key role. Or, it could give you a detailed analysis of a historical event or a current situation (though keep in mind its knowledge is only up-to-date to October 2023).

And get this, Think Deeper can even write code for you and explain how it works! Imagine asking it to create a simple program that draws a maze based on your name, and it not only writes the code but also walks you through the process. Pretty cool, huh?

It sounds like Microsoft wants Think Deeper to be your go-to tool for in-depth research and creative problem-solving. It’s like having a super smart friend who can help you explore complex topics and tackle challenging projects.

So, it looks like Microsoft is being pretty generous with Think Deeper! They haven’t said anything about charging extra for it, even though they could probably get away with it considering how powerful it is. This is great news for users who want to explore its capabilities without worrying about hidden costs or subscription fees.

Of course, the AI world moves fast, and there’s already a newer, even more powerful model called o3. This one is supposedly amazing at tackling tough coding challenges and solving complex problems. But, as you might expect, it probably won’t be free.

This kind of highlights the ongoing competition in the AI space. OpenAI keeps pushing the boundaries with new models, and Microsoft is finding ways to make those advancements more accessible to users. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out and what new AI innovations we’ll see in the future!

This move by Microsoft could be a real game-changer in the AI landscape. By offering free access to such a powerful AI model, they’re putting pressure on competitors like Google and OpenAI to rethink their pricing strategies.

It also raises questions about the future of AI accessibility and how these advancements will be made available to the wider public.

Will we see a trend towards more affordable or even free access to advanced AI tools? Or will companies continue to charge premium prices for the latest and greatest AI models?

Moreover, the integration of Think Deeper into Copilot could significantly impact how people use AI in their daily lives.

Imagine students using it to get help with complex research papers, writers using it to generate creative content, or programmers using it to debug code and learn new programming concepts.

The possibilities are endless, and it will be fascinating to see how users leverage this powerful tool to enhance their productivity and creativity.

As AI becomes more sophisticated and accessible, it’s likely to become an even more integral part of how we learn, work and interact with the world around us.

DeepSeek’s Latest Open-Source Model DeepSeek-R1 Achieves Comparable Performance To OpenAI’s o1

DeepSeek, the AI company that’s been making waves, just dropped another bombshell. They’ve released a new language model called DeepSeek-R1 that’s been trained in a really unique way.

Instead of just feeding it tons of data like most AI models, they used a technique called reinforcement learning, where the model learns by trial and error, kind of like how humans learn through experience.

The result? DeepSeek-R1 is a super smart AI that can reason and solve problems like a champ. It’s so good, in fact, that it matches the performance of OpenAI’s latest model on some really tough challenges, like advanced math and coding problems.

What’s even more impressive is that DeepSeek-R1 was built on top of another model they recently released for free. This means they’ve essentially created a super-powered AI by fine-tuning an already powerful one.

They even used a clever trick called knowledge distillation, where they basically taught the smarts of DeepSeek-R1 to other, smaller AI models.

These smaller models ended up outperforming some of the biggest names in the AI world, like GPT-4, on math and coding tasks. Talk about overachievers!

DeepSeek’s approach is groundbreaking because it shows that AI can learn to reason without needing massive amounts of labeled data. It’s like teaching a kid to ride a bike without giving them explicit instructions. They just figure it out through practice and feedback.

Of course, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. DeepSeek’s initial attempts resulted in a model that was a bit rough around the edges.

It was super smart, but it had trouble expressing itself clearly and sometimes mixed up different languages. To fix this, they gave it a little bit of traditional training with carefully selected examples, kind of like giving the AI some extra tutoring.

The end result is DeepSeek-R1, a powerful and versatile AI that can tackle a wide range of tasks, from writing stories to answering questions to summarizing complex information. It’s also really good at understanding long texts, which is a major challenge for most AI models.

DeepSeek’s latest release is another testament to their ability to innovate and push the boundaries of AI. They’ve shown that it’s possible to create incredibly powerful AI models without breaking the bank, and they’re not afraid to share their knowledge with the world.

This is great news for the AI community and could lead to a new wave of innovation in the field.

Within a few days of its release, the LMArena announced that DeepSeek-R1 was ranked #3 overall in the arena and #1 in coding and math. It was also tied for #1 with o1 in “Hard Prompt with Style Control” category.

Django framework co-creator Simon Willison wrote about his experiments with one of the DeepSeek distilled Llama models on his blog:

Each response starts with a <think>…</think> pseudo-XML tag containing the chain of thought used to help generate the response. [Given the prompt] “a joke about a pelican and a walrus who run a tea room together”…It then thought for 20 paragraphs before outputting the joke!…[T]he joke is awful. But the process of getting there was such an interesting insight into how these new models work.

Andrew Ng’s newsletter The Batch wrote about DeepSeek-R1:

DeepSeek is rapidly emerging as a strong builder of open models. Not only are these models great performers, but their license permits use of their outputs for distillation, potentially pushing forward the state of the art for language models (and multimodal models) of all sizes.

A Word Puzzle Challenge Highlights Limitations In OpenAI’s AI Reasoning Capabilities

Despite OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s assertions about the company being close to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), a recent test of their most advanced publicly available AI has exposed a notable flaw.

As Gary Smith, a senior fellow at the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence, explains in *Mind Matters*, OpenAI’s “o1” reasoning model struggled significantly with the *New York Times* Connections word game.

This game challenges players with 16 words, tasking them with finding connections between them to form groups of four. These connections can range from simple categories like “book subtitles” to more complex and less obvious ones, such as “words that start with fire,” making it a rather demanding exercise in lateral thinking.

Smith tested o1, along with comparable large language models (LLMs) from Google, Anthropic, and Microsoft (which utilizes OpenAI’s technology), using a daily Connections puzzle.

The results were quite surprising, especially given the widespread hype surrounding AI advancements. All the models performed poorly, but o1, which has been heavily touted as a major breakthrough for OpenAI, fared particularly badly. This test indicates that even this supposedly cutting-edge system struggles with the relatively simple task of solving a word association game.

When presented with that day’s Connections challenge, o1 did manage to identify some correct groupings, to its credit. However, Smith observed that its other suggested combinations were “bizarre,” bordering on nonsensical.

Smith aptly characterized o1’s performance as offering “many puzzling groupings” alongside a “few valid connections.” This highlights a recurring weakness in current AI: while it can often appear impressive when recalling and processing information it has been trained on, it encounters significant difficulties when confronted with novel and unfamiliar problems.

Essentially, if OpenAI is genuinely on the cusp of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), or has even made preliminary progress towards it, as suggested by one of their employees last year, they are certainly not demonstrating it effectively. This specific test provides clear evidence that the current iteration of their technology is not yet capable of the kind of flexible reasoning that characterizes true general intelligence.

OpenAI Calls For More Investment And Regulation To Maintain US AI leadership

OpenAI has recently presented its vision for the future of AI development within the United States, issuing a call for strategic investment and thoughtful regulation to ensure the nation maintains a leading position in the face of growing competition from China.

In a comprehensive 15-page report titled “Economic Blueprint,” the AI company outlines what it believes are the essential components for achieving and sustaining AI dominance.

These key elements include robust computing hardware (specifically advanced chips), access to vast quantities of information (data), and reliable access to necessary resources (primarily energy).

The report strongly advocates for the establishment of national guidelines and policies designed to protect and bolster the U.S.’s competitive advantage in these critical areas.

This announcement arrives at a pivotal moment, just ahead of a new presidential administration taking office, which is widely anticipated to be more receptive and supportive of the technology sector. Prominent figures like former PayPal executive David Sacks are expected to potentially play influential roles in shaping future AI and cryptocurrency policy within the new administration. Notably, OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, also made financial contributions to the incoming administration’s inauguration, aligning himself with other business leaders who are actively seeking to cultivate stronger relationships with the incoming leadership.

The report also draws attention to the significant global financial resources currently being directed towards AI projects, estimating the total investment at approximately $175 billion.

It warns that if the U.S. fails to attract a substantial portion of this capital, there is a serious risk that these funds will instead flow into Chinese initiatives, potentially strengthening China’s global influence and technological capabilities.

In a further effort to safeguard U.S. interests, OpenAI has suggested implementing restrictions on the export of advanced AI models to nations that are considered likely to misuse or exploit this technology.

Backed by its strategic partnership with Microsoft, OpenAI is planning to host a meeting in Washington D.C. later this month to delve deeper into these crucial recommendations and engage in further discussions with policymakers and industry leaders.

In a parallel move to secure further funding and support its ambitious goals, the company is currently undergoing a transition to a for-profit structure following a successful and significant fundraising round conducted last year.

Unexpectedly High Demand for ChatGPT Pro Creates Financial Losses for OpenAI, According to Sam Altman

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, recently shared a surprising bit of news on X (formerly Twitter) about the company’s finances. He admitted that, despite how popular their ChatGPT Pro subscriptions are, they’re actually losing money on them.

He basically tweeted something like, “Here’s a crazy fact: we’re actually *losing* money on OpenAI Pro subscriptions! Demand is way higher than we expected.”

ChatGPT Pro, which gives users access to the powerful GPT-4 model, has become a global hit, including in India, where it costs around INR 17,000 (roughly $200) per month. This makes it a pretty attractive option for professionals, businesses, and students looking to boost their productivity and creativity. Pro users get perks like faster responses, guaranteed access even during peak times, and the enhanced capabilities of GPT-4.

But even with all those sign-ups, Altman’s comments point to a big issue: people are using it *way* more than OpenAI anticipated. The Pro subscription was meant to help cover the huge costs of running these massive AI models, but the sheer volume of usage is throwing a wrench in their financial plans. Running powerful AI models like GPT-4 is incredibly expensive because they require massive computing power, which translates to huge bills for cloud computing and server maintenance.

It’s a tricky balancing act for tech companies: they need to offer powerful, accessible tools while also making sure they can stay afloat financially. OpenAI aimed to make AI accessible with their Pro subscription pricing, but they’re now facing unexpected challenges that are forcing them to rethink their strategy.

India, in particular, has become a major market for ChatGPT. Professionals in fields like education, IT, and content creation are signing up for Pro to streamline their work and leverage the power of AI. The fact that it’s relatively more affordable in India compared to other regions has definitely contributed to its popularity there.

Altman’s admission has everyone wondering what OpenAI’s next move will be. This curiosity is even stronger given his recent prediction that AI could replace humans in many jobs by 2025.

OpenAI Employees Share Perspectives On The Company’s Future

It has been a wild ride for OpenAI in the past week or so. Both current and former employees have started to speak up about the OpenAI’s future.

Chaos kicked off last week when several prominent employees, including OpenAI’s chief technology officer Mira Murati and top researchers Barret Zoph and Bob McGrew announced that they were leaving the company.

A day later, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed the rumors that the company was indeed considering ditching its non-profit status and becoming a for-profit company instead.

This has sparked a lot of discussion and debate about the direction in which OpenAI is heading and what it means for the future of the company and AI.

OpenAI is has keep complete silence regarding this whole restructuring situation. They have not made any official announcements but CEO Sam Altman did mention that they are exploring this change as a way to reach their next stage of development.

This shift towards becoming a for-profit company seems to be connected to the fact that they want to raise billions in new investments.

Naturally, people are curious about what’s really going on behind the scenes at OpenAI, especially with the recent resignations of several key executives and researchers.

Some are speculating that there might be internal disagreements about the company’s direction of prioritizing profit over their original non-profit mission.

It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds and what it means for the future of OpenAI and the development of AI in general.

According to some of OpenAI’s departing employees, there is internal concern that the shift to a for-profit company confirms what they already suspected: Altman is prioritizing profit over safety.

When OpenAI safety leader Jan Leike announced his resignation in May, he said on X he had thought it would be “the best place in the world to do this research.” By the time he left, however, he said he had reached a “breaking point” with OpenAI’s leadership over the company’s core priorities.

Gretchen Krueger, a former policy researcher at OpenAI, said the company’s nonprofit governance structure and cap on profits were part of the reason she joined in 2019 — the year that OpenAI added a for-profit arm. “This feels like a step in the wrong direction, when what we need is multiple steps in the right direction,” she said on X.

She said OpenAI’s bid to transition into a public benefit corporation — a for-profit company intended to generate social good — isn’t enough. As one of the biggest developers of artificial general intelligence, OpenAI needs “stronger mission locks,” she wrote.

Noam Brown, a researcher at OpenAI, firmly disagrees that the company has lost its focus on research. “Those of us at @OpenAI working on o1 find it strange to hear outsiders claim that OpenAI has deprioritized research. I promise you all, it’s the opposite,” he wrote on X on Friday.

Mark Chen, the senior vice president of research at OpenAI, also reaffirmed his commitment to OpenAI. “I truly believe that OpenAI is the best place to work on AI, and I’ve been through enough ups and downs to know it’s never wise to bet against us,” he wrote on X.

OpenAI’s New Push: AI Voices For A Wider Range Of Applications.

The ChatGPT Creator Will Let Other Companies Build On Its Human Mimicking Voice Technology.

OpenAI, the folks behind ChatGPT, are letting any app developer use their tech to make their apps talk. Now by talk, I do not mean just talk but actually have a real conversation!

This could be huge because it means we will probably be chatting with all sorts of AI programs before we know it. This sounds super cool but to be fair, a little freaky as well.

As we are all aware that OpenAI’s “advanced voice mode,” has been available to pro subscribers since July. The advanced voice mode has 6 AI voices with the ability to sound casual and expressive.

Now this very same technology will be offered to the thousands of companies, which will of course pay to use OpenAI technology in their own products

The obvious reason to Open up its AI inventions to outsiders will eventually help grow OpenAI’s revenue from usage fees it charges each time an app taps its technology.

Regular influx of cash is crucial to OpenAI as it is seeking billions of dollars in new funding and considering restructuring to remove its business from the control of its existing nonprofit board.

OpenAI made the announcement at an event in San Francisco that it was opening access to its voice technology. At a news briefing ahead of the event, OpenAI executives showed how an app built on its voice technology could make a phone call to a business and place an order for chocolate strawberries.

Though the business was not real and the person who took down the order and asked questions that the AI voice nimbly responded to was an OpenAI executive role-playing.

“We want to make it possible to interact with AI in all of the ways you interact with a human being,” OpenAI chief product officer Kevin Weil said at the press briefing.

Elon Musk Disses Sam Altman Over High-Profile Exits From OpenAI And Compares Him To A Cunning ‘Game Of Thrones’ Character.

It seems like Elon Musk is taking a jab at Sam Altman. He’s not being upfront about it, but it’s clear he’s trying to say something negative.

Looks like Elon Musk is saying that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is a master manipulator who plays everyone around him like a fiddle.

In an X post musk compares Altman to that sneaky and ambitious character from Game of Thrones, Little finger, who was always plotting and scheming to get what he wanted.

Musk’s comment came after someone posted a series of pictures showing Altman with other OpenAI leaders such as CTO Mira Murati and cofounders Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever who recently left OpenAI.

Each picture had one person missing, kind of like they were being eliminated one by one. So, Musk is basically implying that Altman had something to do with their departures and that he’s the last man standing.

Musk also retweeted a post from another X user that included Altman’s comments from a podcast in May, in which he said he doesn’t need more money and that “If I were to say I’m going to try and make a trillion dollars with OpenAI it would save a lot of conspiracy theories.”

The post continued, “What I personally don’t like is the sneaky ways Sam is doing all this.”

It looks like Elon Musk is suggesting that Sam Altman is orchestrating these changes at OpenAI for his own personal gain.

Musk is implying that Altman is being all sly and manipulative, like Little finger to grab more power and wealth for himself.

With OpenAI potentially becoming a for-profit company and Altman possibly getting a huge chunk of it, Musk seems to be hinting that Altman is pulling the strings to become incredibly rich and powerful.

Musk is basically painting Altman as someone who’s putting his own interests above everything else, even the original mission of OpenAI.

Openai now describes itself as a “capped-profit” company. In 2019, it created OpenAI LP, a for-profit and nonprofit hybrid.

In a blog post at the time, OpenAI said the idea was for investors and employees to get a “capped return” if it successfully achieved its mission.

As most of you know that Musk accused OpenAI of abandoning its original mission of developing AI safely for the benefit of humanity by partnering with Microsoft and focusing on profits. He even sued them for this but OpenAI basically told him to get lost, saying his lawsuit made no sense.

Musk then dropped that lawsuit but came back with another one in which he was claiming that Altman and Brockman tricked him. He is saying they took advantage of his worries about AI safety to manipulate him somehow.

It seems like this is more than just a disagreement about AI safety; it is getting personal now. It could be that Musk feels betrayed by Altman and Brockman, like they used him and then pushed him out.

OpenAI Is Claiming That Elon Musk Is Harassing Their Company

OpenAI is claiming that its former co-founder, Tesla CEO, Elon Musk is harassing the company.

In August, Elon Musk sued OpenAI again. He claimed that they tricked him into helping create the company by making him worry about the dangers of AI.

Musk lawyers say that OpenAI’s change from a non-profit to a for-profit company is a classic example of choosing money over the greater good.

Musk helped start OpenAI as a non-profit in 2015 with Sam Altman and others but left the company in 2018, before it became a for-profit business.

OpenAI is basically saying “Oh, come on Elon, give it a rest!” They think he’s just throwing a fit because he couldn’t get his way and now he is desperately trying to make their lives difficult.

They are pointing out that he used to be all for their mission of making sure AI is used for good but now that he’s got his own AI company (xAI), he’s singing a different tune.

They think this whole lawsuit is just a way for him to try and get ahead, and they’re calling him out on it, saying he doesn’t have any real proof to back up his claims.

In response to Musk’s lawsuit, OpenAI called it the latest move in Musk’s “increasingly blusterous campaign to harass OpenAI for his own competitive advantage.”

“OpenAI is dedicated to the safe and beneficial development of artificial general intelligence (“AGI”),” OpenAI’s lawyers said in a court filing on Tuesday. “Musk once supported OpenAI in that mission but abandoned the venture when his bid to dominate it failed.”

The filing added: “Since launching a competing artificial intelligence company, xAI, Musk has been trying to leverage the judicial system for an edge.”

Musk was pretty upset that OpenAI told investors not to support his AI company, xAI, and even went so far as to call them “evil” for it.

He’s been quite vocal about his disapproval, sharing memes and critical posts about OpenAI on X (you know, the platform formerly known as Twitter that he owns). He’s not a fan of their close relationship with Microsoft or their popular chatbot, ChatGPT either.

This all comes after Musk sued OpenAI earlier this year (though he later dropped the lawsuit) and publicly questioned their recent funding round, which valued the company at a whopping $157 billion. He finds it shady that they asked investors to exclusively fund them and not their competitors, including his own.

OpenAI is really focused on becoming a major player in the AI world, even if it means moving away from its original non-profit goals. This shift has caused some drama within the company with several key figures leaving recently.

Basically, it’s a bit of a soap opera in the world of AI, with Musk and OpenAI seemingly battling for dominance. It’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out!
