Google rolls out its most powerful Gemini model yet

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-17 21:12:05

Google AI Ultra subscribers now have access to Deep Think, Google’s most advanced reasoning model yet for Gemini 2.5. The new model was first unveiled at Google I/O , and after feedback from "early trusted testers," is now being rolled out to a wider audience. For now, access is limited to the highest-tier AI subscription Google offers, which will run you a cool $250 per month.

Google releases Gemini 2.5 Deep Think for AI Ultra subscribers

Google is unleashing its most powerful Gemini model today, but you probably won't be able to try it. After revealing Gemini 2.5 Deep Think at the I/O conference back in May, Google is making this AI available in the Gemini app. Deep Think is designed for the most complex queries, which means it uses more compute resources than other models. So it should come as no surprise that only those subscribing to Google's $250 AI Ultra plan will be able to access it. Deep Think is based on the same found

GPT-5 is already (ostensibly) available via API

Using the model gpt-5-bench-chatcompletions-gpt41-api-ev3 via the Chat Completions API will give you what is supposedly GPT-5. Conjecture: The "gpt41-api" portion of the name suggests that there's new functionality to this model that will require new API parameters or calls, and that this particular version of the model is adapted to the GPT-4.1 API for backwards compatibility.

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways OpenAI's GPT-5 will attempt to solve a common ChatGPT problem. It should automatically pick the best model for your prompt. Delays in rolling out are the result of how challenging it is to build.

However, a clear trend when working with AI generated images is their unique look: overly-blurry backgrounds, waxy skin textures, boring composition, and more. Together, these problems constitute what is now known as the “AI look” . Image generation has come a long way since the early days of generating cats and flowers with GANs. Today's models can generate coherent human faces, limbs, and hands. They understand exact quantities, render complex typography, and make an astronaut ride a horse.

Is Mark Zuckerberg flip flopping on open source AI?

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-20 03:13:10

Earlier today, Mark Zuckerberg shared a rambling memo outlining his vision to build AI "superintelligence." In the memo, Zuckerberg hinted that the pursuit of more powerful AI might require the company to be more selective in what it open sources. Citing "safety concerns" he wrote that Meta would need to be "rigorous" about such decisions. The line stood out to many as Zuckerberg — who once said " fuck that " in reference to closed platforms — has made open source central to Meta's AI strategy.

Google's 'virtual satellite' AI model can provide a near real-time view of Earth

Google has introduced a new AI model called AlphaEarth Foundations that it says can function like a "virtual satellite." The model uses a system called "embedding," which works by taking big volumes of pubic information from various sources every day, such as optical satellites, radars and climate simulations, and then combining them all together.
