OpenAI is the world's leading AI startup. For how long will depend on how well it fends off multi-front attacks from competitors like Meta and Google.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says that the company is delaying the release of its highly anticipated open model for the second time.

April 17, 2025: OpenAI has released o3 and 04-mini, two reasoning AI models designed to be extra good at programming, math, and science and that can use images to “think,” according to Engadget, This means that users can upload sketches or diagrams, for example, and even if they are of low quality, o3 and 04-mini will understand what is meant.

Originally set to launch next week, OpenAI's open-weight model is on pause indefinitely.

The idea is to reduce the need for users to visit third-party sites or apps, either to access information or an AI chatbot.

A key clause in Microsoft and OpenAI's deal embodies the raging divide between AGI true believers and those who think it's still a long ways off.

The past month has been especially bruising for OpenAI. Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has raided the company for some of its top AI talent, luring away roughly a dozen elite researchers with promises of big money, greater autonomy, and a shared mission to build Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

OpenAI’s contract clause could cut off Microsoft’s access to new AI models if AGI is declared, forcing high-stakes renegotiation of their partnership.

As tech giants compete for talents, the AI gold rush displaces programmers and software engineers whose jobs were once envied. Employees and students need to upskill.

Amazon's "Artificial" film about OpenAI and Sam Altman is set to debut next year. It sounds a lot like "The Social Network." Should Altman be worried?
