    Gemini 2.5 Pro - It’s a Smart Chatbot … (New Simple High Score)

    Gemini gets a new record on Simple Bench, and several other benchmarks. I’ll go deep to explore its nuances, including how it deceptively reverse engineers answers, does better on certain coding benchmarks than others, may have a universal ‘conceptual language’ … https://weave-docs.wandb.ai/?utm_source=sponsorship&utm_medium=simple_bench&utm_campaign=ai_explained … and more.

    Did AI Just Get Commoditized? Gemini 2.5, New DeepSeek V3, & Microsoft vs OpenAI

    Gemini 2.5 is out, on the same day as the new DeepSeek V3 (which should power Deepseek R2). Do both models prove AI is being commoditized? Let’s find out, on this blockbuster day of AI releases. Plus exclusives from the Information, Simple indications, Vista Bench, LM Arena and more… AI Insiders ($9!): https://www.patreon.com/AIExplained Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 01:15 - Gemini 2.5 Benchmarks 05:46 - Long Context, Simple indication 07:08 - New Deepseek V3 -024 09:11 - Microsoft M...

    Manus AI - The Calm Before the Hypestorm … (vs Deep Research + Grok 3)

    Is Manus AI the memecoin of the AI world, or legit? I’ll compare it to OpenAI’s Deep Research, Operator, Grok 3 DeepSearch and more to find out. I’ll also let you in on some of the secrets of what makes a good hype campaign, the estimated costs of Manus AI, and where it is strong. Other news (yes, Gemini image editing and research hacking, I mean you), will have to wait for a few more hours, as millions enquire about Manus AI. https://app.grayswan.ai/arena AI Insiders ($9!): https://www.pat...

    GPT 4.5 - not so much wow

    GPT 4.5 is here, and do you remember when AI lab CEOs like Sam Altman and Dario Amodei were betting everything on scaling up base models like this one? Well let’s find out what would have happened if the future of AI rested on models like GPT 4.5. You’ll see all the benchmarks, highlights of the paper, emotional intelligence and humor tests, Simple Bench results (reddit was an unreliable source), and why it’s not all bad news for OpenAI. https://www.emergentmind.com/ AI Insiders (now $9!): ...

    Claude 3.7 is More Significant than its Name Implies (ft DeepSeek R2 + GPT 4.5 coming soon)

    Claude 3.7 is here, hot on the heels of Grok 3 and a host of other developments, but how good is it really? And what does it say about the next few months in AI? I’ve read the papers, played with the model for hours, and benched it on Simple. Things aren’t slowing down. Plus the latest in humanoid robots, led by Helix and freaked out by Protoclone. And reports of GPT 4.5 and DeepSeek R2. GraySwan Competition! https://app.grayswan.ai/arena/challenge/agent-red-teaming https://x.com/GraySwanAI...

  6. AGI: (gets close), Humans: ‘Who Gets the Money?’

    FEB 11

    AGI: (gets close), Humans: ‘Who Gets the Money?’

    A 'frontier reasoning model' from just 1000 examples (s1). A $100B Musk bid for power. Gemini 2, Rand and warning from Amodei. Here’s 7-8 developments you may have missed but which I would argue help us understand how the next few years will play out. From labour vs capital to automating rival companies and countries, and from non-profit shenanigans to new mini-docs, there was just too much for me not to make a vid.

  7. Deep Research by OpenAI - The Ups and Downs vs DeepSeek R1 Search + Gemini Deep Research

    Deep Research by OpenAI - The Ups and Downs vs DeepSeek R1 Search + Gemini Deep Research

    12 hours ago Deep Research was unveiled, and I’ve tested it thoroughly, including vs Deepseek R1 with search, Gemini Deep Research and even R1 in Perplexity. It’s a notable step forward, with one big caveat. I’ll go through all the benchmark figures, my initial impression of the o3 model within, and much more.

    o3-mini and the “AI War”

    o3-mini is here, and yes, I’ve read the paper in full - 2 hours after release, and even the post-launch Reddit AMA. Some epic details like a FrontierMath score that made me double-take, a likely new Cursor favorite, bio risk expertise and a cost-comparison with Deepseek R1., But does it perform on basic reasoning - let’s find out. Plus, arguably the bigger story - the increasingly frenetic rhetoric coming out of the West - and Dario Amodei and Alexandr Wang (CEOs of Anthropic and Scale AI res...
