🧠 OpenAI unveils o1: A new 'reasoning' AI model

The Rundown: OpenAI has officially released ‘o1’ (internally known as Project Strawberry/Q*), its first AI model with advanced 'reasoning' capabilities now integrated into ChatGPT for Premium and Teams users.

The details:

• o1 uses reinforcement learning and chain-of-thought processing to "think" before responding, mimicking human problem-solving.

• It outperforms expert humans on PhD-level science questions and ranks in the 89th percentile for competitive programming.

• The model also solved 83% of International Mathematics Olympiad qualifying exam problems, compared to GPT-4o's 13%.

• Two versions available: o1-preview and o1-mini — which by the time of this newsletter publishing — has been rolled out to all ChatGPT Premium and Teams users.

• API access is significantly more expensive than GPT-4o, at $15 per 1M input tokens and $60 per 1M output tokens.

Why it matters: OpenAI o1 is better than expert humans on PhD-level science questions. Its enhanced reasoning capabilities by "thinking" before responding will not only lead to more accurate AI responses, but opens up an entirely new world of real-world use cases for complex problems in science, coding, math, and more.

THE WHITE HOUSE

🏛️ White House launches AI datacenter task force

The Rundown: The White House is launching a new AI datacenter infrastructure task force led by the National Security Council, National Economic Council, and Deputy Chief of Staff's office to ensure U.S. leadership in AI development.

The details:

• Tech leaders from Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon met with government officials to discuss AI energy usage, datacenter capacity, job creation, and strategic locations.

• The task force will coordinate policies to advance datacenter development, aligning with economic, national security, and environmental goals.

• The administration is streamlining datacenter permitting processes and leveraging Department of Energy resources to support AI infrastructure growth.

• Tech giants reaffirmed commitments to net-zero carbon emissions and clean energy procurement for their operations.

Why it matters: This task force is a big shift in U.S. AI strategy, moving beyond safety testing to actively shaping the infrastructure needed to maintain America’s edge in AI. The news also follows the recent announcement that OpenAI and Anthropic will let the U.S. AI Safety Institute test new models before releasing them publicly.

AI TRAINING

🎬 AI image transitions with Latent Navigation

The Rundown: Hugging Face's Latent Navigation space lets you generate smooth transitions between AI-generated images using CLIP text embeddings and Flux.1 schnell.

Step-by-step:

1. Visit Latent Navigation space.

2. Enter a detailed image description in the "Prompt" field (e.g., "a golden retriever in the park")

3. Set transition directions: "1st direction to steer" (e.g., "winter") and "2nd direction to steer" (e.g., "summer")

4. Adjust the "Strength" and other settings to fine-tune your transition

5. Click "Generate directions" to create your AI image transition

Pro tip: Experiment with the "Advanced options" for more control over your transitions.
