OpenAI's GPT-5.5 launches with doubled token prices over GPT-5.4, driving real-world cost increases of up to 92% for users, though longer prompts see partial relief as the model generates significantly fewer completion tokens.
Facebook Research unveils Tuna-2, a groundbreaking multimodal AI model that ditches traditional vision encoders in favor of direct pixel patch processing, outperforming predecessors on diverse benchmarks while supporting both image understanding and generation tasks in 7B and 2B parameter sizes.
SAP acquires Prior Labs in a €1 billion deal to build Europe's leading frontier AI lab, combining the startup's groundbreaking Tabular Foundation Models with SAP's enterprise data and AI infrastructure to deliver instant, top-performing machine learning capabilities at scale.
DeepSeek unleashes two groundbreaking AI models — DeepSeek-V4-Pro and V4-Flash — featuring over 1 trillion parameters and record-breaking low prices, with V4-Flash undercutting OpenAI's cheapest model at just $0.14 per million tokens, powered by dramatic efficiency gains that slash compute costs to a fraction of its predecessor.
xAI launches Grok 4.3 with ultra-low API pricing, a 1M-token context window, and rapid voice cloning, topping legal and financial benchmarks, but critics slam its coding and math weaknesses and report erratic 'narcolepsy' behavior in autonomous tasks.
TALOS-V2 brings AI inference to FPGA hardware, running Karpathy's microGPT at a blazing 50,000 tokens per second on a DE1-SoC Cyclone V board using fixed-point arithmetic and SystemVerilog RTL, complete with real-time controls and token output on onboard displays.
OpenAI's o1 AI model outperforms physicians in emergency room diagnoses with a 67% accuracy rate versus 55% and 50% for human doctors, according to a Harvard Medical School study, though experts warn the AI remains unready for real-world use and critics question the fairness of comparing it to internal medicine …
IBM launches Granite 4.1, its most expansive AI model family yet, featuring small language, vision, speech, embedding, and safety models built for enterprise use, all released under an Apache 2.0 license with state-of-the-art performance across document understanding, multilingual transcription, and harm detection.
Anthropic's Claude AI is now integrated into Autodesk Fusion, allowing engineers and creators to build 3D models using simple natural language prompts, bridging the gap between ideas and manufacturable designs.
Elon Musk admits in a federal California courtroom that xAI used OpenAI's models to train its Grok AI through model distillation, defending the controversial practice as 'standard' in the industry amid growing legal battles over the technique.
