Today OpenAI announced o3, its next-gen reasoning model. We've worked with OpenAI to test it on ARC-AGI, and we believe it represents a significant breakthrough in getting AI to adapt to novel tasks.

Code generation is the most popular application of AI today—not because it’s the most impactful, but because it’s the easiest for AI devs.

The reason: devs building AI models are already domain experts in coding. This allows faster build, easier debugging, and more intuitive eval of outputs.

True story

A bit slow start of the year but a strong summer.

However there is a substantial increase in output tokens per second, suggesting that the newer model may be smaller, enabling it to run faster on the same hardware.

November model outputs 180 tokens per second, a significant increase from the 80 tokens per second observed with the August model.

Has OpenAI's latest iteration of GPT-4o sacrificed intelligence for speed?

In a recent evaluation conducted by Artificial Analysis, the latest release of OpenAI's GPT-4o model, dated November 20th, has been observed to underperform compared to its August predecessor in several key metrics.

Europa's subsurface is known to house a salty ocean. The presence of carbon dioxide, especially originating from this ocean rather than external sources, is a significant finding for potential life conditions.

New evidence that supports the hypothesis of life on Jupiter's Europa.

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected carbon dioxide on Jupiter’s moon, Europa. This discovery bolsters the hypothesis that Europa might support life.

Did Jesus actually exist?

When this question came to my mind I wasn’t sure what evidence there is for his existence besides Bible.

TLDR: yes, the evidence is clear and abundant that he existed.

Here are four pieces of evidence that support the historical existence of Jesus Christ:

Globally too there has been a noticeable increase in the sunlight absorbed. A significant contributor is the decrease in pollution from shipping industries and China. As these sources reduced the polluting, the atmosphere cleared up, allowing more sunlight to penetrate and be absorbed by the Earth.

The Northern Hemisphere once emitted more heat into space than it took in from the sun. This imbalance was balanced out by the heat coming from the Southern Hemisphere, primarily through the Atlantic oceans and the atmosphere.

This has now flipped since 2014 with unknown consequences.

In roughly 250 million years, Earth's continents are predicted to merge into a supercontinent called Pangaea Ultima, which could have catastrophic consequences for mammalian life.

It is predicted 92% of Earth might become uninhabitable for mammals due to extreme temperatures exceeding 40 °C.

Tick-Borne Disease Solution: An mRNA-based vaccine is showing promise against tick-borne diseases like the Powassan virus, offering a ray of hope where no preventive or treatment options previously existed.

Gene Therapy: mRNA is opening new doors in gene therapy. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed an mRNA delivery system for tissue regeneration, paving the way for neurological disorder treatments.

Colorectal Cancer Treatment: Ongoing research explores mRNA's role in preventing cancer recurrence. By tailoring mRNA vaccines to target genetic mutations in residual cancer cells post-surgery, the immune system is activated to seek and destroy these cells.

The success of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines has catapulted this technology into the limelight. While mRNA might seem like a newcomer to the public its potential reaches far beyond the pandemic.

Here are some future applications of this technology that medicine will be using hopefully very soon:

Creating a 5000-year-lasting battery that could be used to power IoT in three steps:

1: Utilize graphite shielding from a nuclear facility.
2: Remove the carbon-14 layer generated through neutron bombardment.
3: Compress it with carbon-12 to form a diamond.

Quietly Gaia might have deleted most of the dark matter from our understanding of universe.

“the ordinary matter like stars and gas in the Milky Way now makes up about 1/3 of the mass and the other 2/3 are dark matter. This could be a true revolution in cosmology.
