  • OpenAI has released two powerful reasoning models: O3 and O4 Mini. O3 features advanced visual reasoning, enabling image interaction through zoom and rotation, and excels at tasks like extracting handwritten notes and solving visual math problems. O4 Mini is a lightweight, faster version that reduces operational costs while maintaining strong performance. Both models can seamlessly integrate tools such as web search, Python, file analysis, and image generation into their reasoning process. They are the first to "think with images," allowing visual data to be part of their thought chain.

  • A former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, predicts that in the next few years, AI will replace many programmers and create advanced systems that can think like humans. This change may lead to superintelligence, which could surpass human understanding and capabilities. He also suggests that recursive self-improvement will significantly enhance AI capabilities, accelerating progress toward general intelligence (AGI), which he expects to be achieved within 3 to 5 years. As the scaling of AI development rapidly advances, the emergence of artificial superintelligence (ASI) — surpassing human intelligence — appears increasingly likely in the future.

  • Make has introduced new AI agents that leverage GenAI and LLM logic within its automation environment. These agents are easy to set up and can operate in a variety of contexts, such as customer support. They use prompts and tools to remain flexible and guided, allowing them to determine which tasks to perform and how to execute them successfully. Users can create and connect these agents to various tools to explore new use cases. My take: Since Make.com is one of the leaders in web service automation, it will be interesting to test this new feature.

  • At TED 2025, Sam Altman highlighted user feedback as key to OpenAI's progress. He outlined four core principles: improve safety through real-world testing, adapt policies in response to public opinion, prioritize broad user input over elite decision-making, and personalize AI through long-term interaction. Altman said feedback isn't just helpful—it's essential for building safer, smarter, and more user-centered AI systems.

  • The European Union has unveiled an ambitious plan to establish itself as a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI). As part of this strategy, it will create specialized AI centers—referred to as AI Factories and Gigafactories—equipped with powerful supercomputers. The EU also aims to expand its cloud infrastructure and data storage capabilities, while increasing access to high-quality data for AI development. A comprehensive strategy will support the adoption of AI by businesses and public institutions. Additionally, a dedicated AI skills academy will train the workforce, and initiatives will be launched to attract top international talent. To help smaller companies navigate AI regulations, a support desk will be established. In total, the EU plans to invest €200 billion to drive AI innovation and competitiveness across the continent.

  • Genspark AI has launched the Super Agent, a smart assistant designed to help with complex tasks. According to the company, it can handle things like planning trips, booking restaurants, and creating custom videos to make life easier for everyone. My take: I tried it out, and it delivered some interesting results—especially when I asked it to tackle a more challenging task, like "Find people who work in marketing at large companies in France." As for the more advanced features, such as booking restaurants, I remain skeptical. I tested a few examples, and it seems those services aren't available just yet. But the overall idea—combining many different tools and models into one system to provide users with a full assistant—is definitely intriguing.

  • Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic have jointly announced support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open-source standard developed by Anthropic to securely connect AI models to external data and tools. This protocol represents a major step toward a unified, agent-ready AI infrastructure across the industry. MCP enables seamless, two-way integration between AI systems and real-time applications, allowing models to not only retrieve but also interact with live data and tools. It plays a key role in orchestrating complex, multi-step workflows across various services, making it possible to automate sophisticated tasks through coordinated actions. A major feature of MCP is that it provides access to LLMs with enhanced information retrieval capabilities, including chain-of-thought reasoning, structured context like knowledge graphs, and role metadata. These elements significantly improve the depth, accuracy, and contextual awareness of AI outputs. My take: it's important to look closely at what exactly MCP offers and how to build workflows with it.

  • Choosing the right AI model depends on the task. Reasoning models like o1-pro, Claude 3.7, and Deepseek r1 are ideal for complex tasks—planning, coding, and brainstorming—with high accuracy but often come at a higher cost and slower speed. GPT-40 stands out as a balanced, everyday model: multimodal, fast, and good at following writing styles. For affordable and efficient automation, Gemini Flash 2.0 and Deepseek v3 excel in data, audio, and video processing. Claude 3.7 also delivers the longest outputs and best one-shot
