AGI is here?? It might be with OpenAI’s drop on its last day of Shipmas…

In this edition we’ll be covering…

  • OpenAI’s new o3 reasoning model

  • A guide on how to use Google’s new Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking model

  • Creating your own podcast with ElevenLabs 

  • 5 AI trends

  • 3 AI tools to keep you productive

  • And much more…

Let’s get into it!

OpenAI’s o3 is a Huge Step Towards AGI

OpenAI wrapped up its 12-day of “Shipmas” event with a showstopper: o3, the next evolution in reasoning models.

Building on the success of its predecessor, o1, the o3 model family includes o3 and a distilled version, o3-mini, fine-tuned for specific tasks.

The numbers are wild. The model…

  • Crushes coding benchmarks, up 22.8% from o1.

  • Hits 87.5% on AGI-related tests (above human-level!).

  • Aces math exams with 96.7% accuracy.

What’s different from o1?

o3 introduces “adjustable reasoning time,” allowing users to set compute levels to low, medium, or high. More compute means better task performance, enabling the model to “think” before responding with a private chain of thought.

So What?

This release is going to be insane.

Are we witnessing the dawn of AGI? Maybe. But accessible AGI? That's a different story. The computational demands of these reasoning models suggest we might need a different approach for truly democratized, human-level AI.

Safety researchers can sign up for o3-mini preview now, with broader access coming end of January. The full o3 release date? That's still TBD.

Innovation Showcase

Think Fast, Spend Less with Google’s New Reasoning Model

While OpenAI teases us with o3's capabilities, Google quietly dropped something we can actually get our hands on: Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking. This is Google’s experimental model designed to enhance reasoning capabilities by explicitly outlining its thought process when tackling complex problems.

While other reasoning models demand massive computational resources (and budgets), this model makes AI reasoning nearly free.

To use Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking:

  1. Navigate to Google AI Studio and sign in.

  2. Toggle Model on the right to Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental.

  3. Ask it your toughest questions!

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season!

Pop this prompt into Google Gemini and send us what it gives you👇️ 

Generate a realistic image of a snowman. The snowman should be well decorated with buttons as eyes, a carrot for a nose, and branches for arms.

Make the scene at daytime with the light shining down on him. The snowman is smiling.

Here’s ours!

Happy Holidays!
