Rachel worked on a system which collected data about children, provided by parents and medical professionals. There was one bug that drew a lot of fire: no one could report the age of a child as less than one. That was a problem, as for most of their users, child ages are zero-indexed. One of […]
OpenAI said on Friday it was testing new reasoning AI models, o3 and o3 mini, in a sign of growing competition with rivals like Google to create smarter models capable of tackling complex problems. CEO Sam Altman said the AI start-up plans to launch o3 mini by the end of January, and full o3 after […]

OpenAI today announced an improved version of its most capable artificial intelligence model to date—one that takes even more time to deliberate over questions—just a day after Google announced its first model of this type. OpenAI’s new model, called o3, replaces o1, which the company introduced in September. Like o1, the new model spends time […]
There’s a new contender in the AI space that’s making waves: QwQ-32B-Preview. This so-called “reasoning” AI model is being compared to OpenAI o1, and it’s one of the few you can download under a permissive license. For developers and researchers eager to experiment, that’s a significant bonus. Built by Alibaba’s Qwen team, QwQ-32B-Preview is anything […]
Alibaba has announced Marco-o1, a large language model (LLM) designed to tackle both conventional and open-ended problem-solving tasks. Marco-o1, from Alibaba’s MarcoPolo team, represents another step forward in the ability of AI to handle complex reasoning challenges—particularly in maths, physics, coding, and areas where clear standards may be absent. Building upon OpenAI’s reasoning advancements with […]
The Turing test is dead, and we killed it. The Turing test is a test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. From the 1940s to the 2010s people programmed computers, and computers could only do what they were programmed to do in a rules-based […]
