▾Is AI smarter than humans? OpenAI o1 excels in science, programming, and mathematics
OpenAI has introduced a new series of AI models called o1, which promise a revolution in complex thinking and problem-solving. The o1 models excel in fields such as science, programming, and mathematics, achieving results comparable to those of doctoral students. OpenAI has also focused on safety and developed a new training approach to prevent AI misuse.
Artificial intelligence is getting closer to human thinking. The latest endeavor by OpenAI, the series of AI models named o1, is proof of this. The models promise a revolution in complex thinking and problem-solving, particularly in fields like science, programming, and mathematics.
A revolution in machine reasoning
Unlike previous models, o1 is designed to dedicate more time to analysis and deliberation before providing an answer. This enables it to tackle more complex tasks, thereby overcoming the limitations faced by older AI systems.
Tests have shown that o1 achieves results comparable to those of doctoral students in challenging tasks from physics, chemistry, and biology.
It also excels in mathematics and programming – in the qualifying test for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), the o1 model correctly solved 83% of the problems, whereas GPT-4o only solved 13%. In programming, it ranked in the 89th percentile in Codeforces competitions.
Safety first
OpenAI is aware of the risks associated with increasingly advanced artificial intelligence. As a result, it has developed a new safety training approach that utilizes the o1 model's reasoning capabilities to adhere to safety guidelines.
The o1 models are already available in ChatGPT Plus and Team, and ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu users will soon have access as well. Developers with API access (level 5) can experiment with the o1-preview and o1-mini models today.
The company plans to further enhance the o1 models and expand their functionalities, including web browsing, file and image uploads, and other useful features.
10 reasons why your phone is drained sooner than expected
It happens that the battery life decreases faster than one would expect, even when the device is not particularly stressed during the day. Often, it's not a single specific error but a sum of small influences that gradually accumulate. This article explains what has the greatest impact on battery life, when idle draining occurs, and why this can turn into an issue causing the phone not to last even one day.
Wi-Fi on a plane? Yes, but it works differently than at home
Connecting to the internet during a flight is no longer an exception, but it still doesn't work as you're used to at home. In-flight Wi-Fi depends on the technology used, the type of aircraft, and network congestion, and paying for access doesn't always mean fast connection. In this article, we'll explain how in-flight internet works, why it can be slow, and when you can rely on it.
RCS messages: what they are, how they work, and when it's better to turn them off
RCS chat is appearing more frequently in mobile devices, especially with the arrival of iOS 18 and the gradual phasing out of older networks. It is a method of communication that uses the internet, offering higher quality sharing of photos and videos than traditional SMS. We'll explain what RCS means and when it makes sense to keep it enabled.
12 steps to prepare a child for their first phone

Autonomous vehicles around the world: How close are we to regular driverless operation?
Cities around the world are seeing an increase in autonomous vehicles as part of their transportation systems. However, their reliability varies significantly by region. We will explore where this technology is already commonly transporting passengers and what autonomous driving means in practice today.
Introducing Auracast - the biggest advancement in Bluetooth listening in recent years
Listening to a movie or playlist on multiple headphones has always been difficult. Auracast offers the ability to play the same audio to multiple people without pairing or special accessories. It can be used at home with TV, on trips, and in places with poorly audible announcements. In the article, we will show how this innovation works in practice and when we will start encountering it regularly.
