🧠 OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirms that Level-3 Agents are coming soon
In a recent conversation between T-Mobile and OpenAI, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, discussed the exciting advancements of the new "o1 models" and how they represent a significant leap in AI capabilities.
Unlike previous iterations, which excelled at basic pattern recognition and simple tasks, the o1 models focus on more advanced reasoning. These models have the potential to tackle complex problems in areas like programming, mathematics, and science, offering solutions that were previously unattainable.
Altman highlighted that this new wave of models, while still in its early stages, will improve rapidly, opening doors to numerous use cases beyond traditional chat interfaces.
✨ Apple releases highly anticipated iOS 18.1 AI Update
Apple introduced new AI features, which are available in the public beta of iOS 18.1. Key updates include:
Summaries within e-mails and notifications,
An image Clean Up feature to remove unwanted objects from photos, and
Generative AI-powered writing tools for proofreading and improving text.
The updates also include improvements to AI-powered Siri. To try out Apple Intelligence, iPhone owners (iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, or any version of the iPhone 16) can install the public beta of iOS 18.1. In Settings, go to Apple Intelligence & Siri and select "Join the Apple Intelligence waitlist."
Why does it matter?
AI features are becoming a major factor in buying smartphones and computers now. Although Apple entered the consumer AI space later than others, it seems to have a strong chance to emerge as a leader.
💬 SocialAI: Your private Twitter clone where no humans are allowed
A new social network app called SocialAI gives each user their private version of Twitter, in which everyone else is an AI-driven bot. It's up to the user whether the bots act like fans or trolls (and you have 0 human followers).
You choose followers like "supporters," "nerds," "skeptics," "visionaries," "doomers," or "ideators." Then, bots with those themes respond to your posts—similar to Elon Musk's social network bots, but now completely under your control.
Why does it matter?
SocialAI has sparked a debate about the role and value of online communication. While its creator sees it as a response to the toxicity of real social media, it could represent a significant shift in social media dynamics and human-AI interaction.
