OpenAI has launched its latest AI model, GPT-4.1, which boasts enhanced performance, particularly in coding benchmarks, and a larger context window. Surprisingly, this release did not include a safety report, a standard practice for OpenAI’s advanced models, sparking controversy and raising questions about transparency. OpenAI justified this omission by stating that GPT-4.1 is not considered…
OpenAI has reportedly reduced the time allocated for safety testing its most powerful AI models, raising concerns about potential risks being overlooked in the rush to release new technology. This acceleration is driven by competitive pressures in the AI industry, as OpenAI aims to stay ahead of rivals like Google and Meta. Experts warn that…
Google DeepMind is using its AI models to explore animal communication, starting with decoding dolphin vocalizations. By applying techniques similar to those used in human language models, researchers aim to identify patterns and meanings in dolphin sounds to understand better how these animals communicate. This work is part of a broader effort to use AI…
Hugging Face has acquired Pollen Robotics, the maker of the open-source humanoid robot Reachy 2, marking its entry into the robotics space. The move aims to explore how large language models can be integrated with physical robots for more natural human-robot interaction. Both companies plan to keep the project open-source, encouraging collaboration and innovation in…
