💥 OpenAI Unleashes o3-Pro: Top AI, Drastically Priced

OpenAI has launched o3-Pro, its most capable reasoning model to date delivering top-tier performance on PhD-level tasks while slashing prices by 80%, in a clear strike at Google and Anthropic’s premium offerings.

Why o3?

• o3-Pro excels at longform reasoning across math, science, and programming, outperforming rivals in side-by-side benchmarks.

• Independent evaluators ranked it best across all tested categories, including complex STEM domains.

• It supports web search and data analysis, but lacks image generation and Canvas support, and runs slightly slower than other models.

• Available now for ChatGPT Pro and Team users, with Enterprise and Edu rollout coming next week.

• Ben Hylak, a top evaluator, called it “very different” from other frontier models and "much smarter" than its predecessor.

This is OpenAI’s boldest value play yet offering elite-level intelligence at a fraction of the cost. As model quality converges, pricing may become the new battleground and OpenAI just lit the fuse.

🧠 Meta Taps Scale AI CEO for New 'Superintelligence' Lab

Meta is launching a new “superintelligence lab” led by Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang, part of a massive shake-up engineered by Mark Zuckerberg to reboot Meta’s frontier AI strategy including a $15B deal and aggressive talent raids from OpenAI and Google.

What’s happening:

• Wang will lead the elite group, bringing top Scale AI engineers into Meta’s core AI division.

• The $15B deal gives Meta a 49% stake in Scale AI, avoiding full acquisition and regulatory hurdles.

• Zuckerberg personally recruited nearly 50 researchers, reportedly offering nine-figure packages to lure top talent.

• This follows his discontent with Llama 4’s performance and a growing urgency to compete with GPT-4o and Claude 3.5.

• Meta is betting on deep integration with Scale’s infrastructure and Wang’s leadership to push beyond current LLM limitations.

Zuckerberg is done playing defense. With Meta lagging in top-tier model quality, this is a decisive move to rewrite its AI playbook fusing Scale’s data firepower with Meta’s capital and ambition. Rival labs should be watching closely.

📚 Wikipedia Halts AI Summary Experiment After Editor Uproar

Wikipedia has paused its controversial pilot of AI-generated article summaries after fierce backlash from its own editors, who warned the tool could damage trust in the platform and degrade article quality.

What happened:

• Cohere’s open-weight Aya model, appeared at the top of articles with a yellow “unverified” label, and required users to click to read.

• The two-week experiment was opt-in for those using the Wikipedia browser extension, and aimed to improve accessibility.

• Editors immediately protested, calling the summaries misleading, unreliable, and a threat to Wikipedia’s reputation.

• Many warned that the AI blurbs lacked editorial oversight, centralized control, and risked pushing unsourced or biased information.

• Wikimedia acknowledged the backlash and paused the rollout, stating no AI summary features will go live without editor moderation systems in place.

In an internet drowning in AI-generated junk, Wikipedia stands out as a rare beacon of quality and its volunteer editors are making it clear they intend to keep it that way. The Foundation may still pursue AI-assisted features, but the community has drawn a line.
