Noam Brown, Head of AI Reasoning Research at OpenAI, recently stated in a panel discussion at NVIDIA's GTC conference that certain forms of reasoning AI models "could have existed 20 years earlier if researchers had known the right approach and algorithms." He pointed out several reasons why this research direction was overlooked. Brown recounted his experience in game AI research at Carnegie Mellon University, including Pluribus, which defeated top human professional poker players. He stated that he helped create...

La empresa de investigación de inteligencia artificial OpenAI ha presentado recientemente al gobierno de Estados Unidos sus propuestas para un plan de acción sobre inteligencia artificial. Según los informes, este informe estratégico está dirigido por la Oficina de Política Científica y Tecnológica de la Casa Blanca y tiene como objetivo establecer una estrategia para el desarrollo de la industria de la inteligencia artificial en Estados Unidos. La propuesta de OpenAI se basa en su plan económico publicado en enero de este año y abarca el uso de la inteligencia artificial en áreas clave como la seguridad nacional, las infraestructuras y la energía. Estas propuestas detallan cómo Estados Unidos debería mantener su liderazgo en la industria de la inteligencia artificial y hacen hincapié en la rápida evolución de China en este campo tecnológico.

OpenAI has announced the launch of o1-pro, a new inference AI model within its developer API. OpenAI states that o1-pro leverages significantly more compute resources than its existing o1 model, aiming for consistently superior responses. However, this high-performance model is currently only available to a select group of developers – specifically, those who have spent at least $5 on OpenAI API services. Notably, o1-pro is significantly more expensive, costing ten times as much as the o1 model.

According to Bloomberg, OpenAI is making a massive investment in its first infrastructure project, dubbed "Stargate," with an estimated cost of $100 billion.
