Refresh
Welcome back to day 7 of OpenAI’s 12 Days of OpenAI. Today is the last day of OpenAI releases this week. We’d expect OpenAI to follow the same format as last weekend and not release anything on Saturday and Sunday, meaning Day 8 will commence on Monday.
Yesterday we got some very cool surprises from OpenAI including Santa mode for all ChatGPT users, which gives your kids a way of talking to Santa via ChatGPT.
We also got video and screenshare in Advanced Voice Mode. This seems like something from a sci-fi movie, enabling your mobile to ‘see’ what you are doing and make comments on it.
What will we get today? Tune in at 10am PT to find out.
If you ever wished you could have a one-on-one conversation with Santa, ChatGPT will answer the call, as Santa is now built-in. You click the fairly festive blue snowflake icon in the bottom right corner of the mobile app and then start chatting with Santa. He certainly sounds jolly and is pretty knowledgeable about reindeer and beards.
Why beards? Well, the OpenAI team started a live video feed and asked Santa for feedback on his beard. Santa said, “That’s a fabulous beard!”. You can start chatting with Santa today, even if you use limits.
Of course, OpenAI had to close out day six with a joke, and they asked Santa for one:
“What is every elfs favorite music? Wrap music, ho-ho-ho, a little elf humor.”
Next, we’re getting a demo of ChatGPT teaching an OpenAI employee how to use a French press in real time, using video mode within Advance Voice Mode. It provides commentary based on the live video, but it can also handle interruptions from the user’s voice in real time.
Further, it seems that ChatGPT is already accomplishing what Apple promised with Siri, in that when sharing your screen with Advanced Voice Mode for ChatGPT, it can now see what on the screen and help with it. Truly multi-modal, and in this demo, it helped respond to a message within Messages.
OpenAI is kicking off day six by apologizing and acknowledging yesterday’s ‘several hours of downtime.’ With no Sam Altman today, the team went directly into the news. Video and screen share are being added into Advanced Voice Mode for ChatGPT.
In the mode, you can now hit the video button, and it will automatically start the selfie camera on your device – in this case, an iPhone was used for the demo. This new mode is a video chat with an AI, or, in this case, a real-time chat with ChatGPT.
In this demo, the team around the table all took turns introducing themselves to the AI, and then they quizzed ChatGPT to see what it remembered. It’s very good at names.
Video and screen-share are now beginning to roll out for Advanced Voice Mode within ChatGPT, and it supports over 50 languages.
It’s nearly that time again! Day six of ’12 Days of OpenAI’ is about to begin, and we’re curious about what the tech company has in store for us. Equally, will they comment on the outage from yesterday, which took ChatGPT, Sora, and Dall-E offline?
The button that is not a button
With the news yesterday of ChatGPT integration into the iPhone, we bet you are suddenly much more interested in iPhones than ever, so we thought you might love to read this excellent deep dive into the ‘button that is not a button’ – the iPhone 16’s Camera Control from our Editor-at-large, Lance Ulanoff.
It’s rare to get Apple execs on the record talking about Apple products, so the whole interview is pretty interesting.
Watch OpenAI announce ChatGPT integration into Apple Intellligence
As we get ready for Day 6 of ’12 Days of OpenAI’ you might like to recap what OpenAI announced yesterday. Well, it just so happens that it has arranged videos of all its announcements about ChatGPT integration into Apple Intelligence in a nicely collated set of tweets right here:
ChatGPT is now integrated into Apple experiences within iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, allowing users to access ChatGPT’s capabilities right within the OS. pic.twitter.com/LLf4YZfRaeDecember 11, 2024
You might have missed it, but yesterday Google announced Gemini 2.0. Gemini is in many ways the main rival LLM to ChatGPT, (ok, Microsoft also has CoPilot, but that’s connected to ChatGPT) and to help Gemini pull away from OpenAI, Google is going heavily down the AI Agent lane.
Talking about Gemini 2.0, CEO Sundar Pichai has dubbed this the start of a “new agentic era,” referring to AI agents, which can perform tasks without your interference.
In a blog post he wrote: “They can understand more about the world around you, think multiple steps ahead, and take action on your behalf, with your supervision”.
We expect OpenAI will be matching Google with its own AI agent, as part of 12 Days of OpenAI, and we can’t wait, especially as we know it has been testing one known as Operator.
Welcome back to Day 6 of 12 Days of OpenAI! We can’t help feeling a little shortchanged by yesterday’s announcement of ChatGPT integration in Apple Intelligence. We sort of knew that was coming because we’d been following the beta release cycle of iOS 18.2 so closely. Unfortunately, the ChatGPT service crashed straight afterwards, leaving Apple users with a “Working with ChatGPT” message, but it’s back up now.
We’re hoping that today will see a genuine surprise from OpenAI. What could it be? We’ll just have to wait until 10am PT to find out.
While OpenAI is celebrating its 12 days of news, the fifth day was a bit spoiled as the service had a pretty sizable outage. This means that if you’ve been trying to use ChatGPT, Sora, APIs, or even Dall-E, you were likely hit with a currently unavailable screen or encountered errors.
We’ve been reporting on it over here, but it is the first sizeable outage since OpenAI debuted Sora – its text-to-video generator – earlier this week and on the same day that Apple rolled out iOS 18.2, which includes ChatGPT integration with Siri.
As of now, OpenAI notes that it’s beginning to bring ChatGPT, Sora, and its APIs back online, but there isn’t a promised time for a full restoration; it is working again for us on the East Coast of the United States.
In a more serious vein, OpenAI showed how they could use the ChatGPT extension on the Mac. They used it to analyze a document and noted, “At all times’ I’m in control of what I share with ChatGPT”. They also demonstrated how you can hand off the process to ChatGPT to continue your work.

Altman FTW
The team used Apple Visual Intelligence to analyze a photo of them wearing their Christmas sweaters and then asked ChatGPT, through Apple Visual Intelligence, to choose the best sweater. Shockingly, the CEO won.
Day 5: All about Apple Intelligence integration
Guess what, this holiday-themed 12-Days of Open AI is all about Apple Intelligence’s ChatGPT integration, including writing tools, image generation, and Visual Intelligence.
The team, including Sam Altman, is walking us through how to use ChatGPT inside of Apple Intelligence on the iPhone, naturally, you need to install iOS 18.2 and enable ChatGPT in settings.
Here’s a recap of what Open AI has released so far in its 12 Days of OpenAI.
Day 1: OpenAI got things up and running straight out of the gate with a brand new LLM for ChatGPT called ChatGPT o1. The new LLM is better at reasoning than previous LLMs. It’s only available to people who have subscribed to ChatGPT Plus or Teams, and it’s not on the free tier.
Day 2: After the excitement of day 1 OpenAI brought things down a little with a more developer-focused release with Reinforcement Fine Tuning. This is a way that developers can customize its AI models for specific tasks. It’s especially useful for complex tasks.
Day 3: Things got a lot more exciting on day 3 when OpenAI released Sora, possibly the best AI text-to-video generator we’ve seen so far. Sora is available to people on the ChatGPT Plus and Teams subscriptions, but to do more than 5 second clips you’ll need a subscription to ChatGPT Pro, which costs $200.
Day 4: OpenAI kept the hits coming with Canvas for ChatGPT. Canvas is a side panel you can use to type commands into in ChatGPT and help refine whatever you’ve got in the main window, whether that’s text or code. You can also share the window for collaboration.
Day 5: What’s next? Tune in at 10am PT to find out what OpenAI has in store for us today.
We’re looking forward to today’s announcement of a new product from OpenAI. It has a lot to compete with since Google has released Gemini 2 today, the new version of its flagship AI model, and Apple has released a new Apple Intelligence in iOS 18.2. What will OpenAI hit back with?
Gemini 2 features lots of development around AI agents, which makes us wonder if we’re going to get something in that space from OpenAI today? Tune in at 10amPT to find out.
How ChatGPT changed the game
Since the launch of ChatGPT, two years ago, AI has been slowly creeping into all areas of our lives. It really did change the game. For example, today Apple launched its latest installment of iOS 18.2, which features more AI goodness in the form of Genmoji, Image Playground and ChatGPT integration in Siri. Most social media sites are embracing AI too. Meta has its own MetaAI available in Messenger and TIkTok, while Reddit has just announced it’s adding its own AI to help you get better answers to questions.
If ChatGPT hadn’t launched when it did then none of this would be happening. Let’s see what OpenAI have in store for us today, when it comes to today’s announcement as part of 12 Days of OpenAI.
We’ve been playing with yesterday’s release of Canvas for ChatGPT from OpenAI and so far we’re impressed. It’s a lot of fun to use when you’re generating text. Canvas includes a new set of writing tools that you can select from an easy-to-use menu. They include suggesting edits, adjusting the length of an article, changing the reading level all the way from kindergarten to college level and even adding emojis. So, now you can draft and refine your ChatGPT-created article to your heart’s content, and best of all, Canvas is available on the free tier of ChatGPT as well!
Welcome to Day 5 of 12 Days of OpenAI. We’ve had some big launches so far, particularly ChatGPT o1, a new model of ChatGPT that’s better at reasoning, and Sora, which is quickly becoming everybody’s go-to AI video generator. Yesterday we got Canvas, an editable second page you can use with ChatGPT and share with others. We can’t wait to see what OpenAI has in store for us today at 10am PT.
Of course, after walking through what Canvas is and the new features, the OpenAI team closed out with a joke to wrap up day four.
It was pretty good, and OpenAI even had a prop for it! “How does Santa take photos? With a north Polaroid.”
Beyond this collaboration example, you can also use Canvas within ChatGPT to get feedback on writing, with prompts like “Get Advice” and “Help Me Write” appearing when you drop a big selection of text into the service and elect to open it in Canvas. However, it doesn’t get sent or seen by ChatGPT until you ask; in the demo, the user asked the AI to leave comments on the text from the perspective of a physics teacher.
From these demos so far, it’s kind of like a more advanced Google Doc with an AI built-in and boasts much of the same functionality. You can accept, reject, or provide feedback on comments left and update the document in real time with your additions or removals.
From a programming experience within ChatGPT Canvas, the big news is now that it understands Python. A new “Run” button will let you start Python code within a Canvas window and see results via the console window in real time.
Much like Canvas for writing, ChatGPT provides context and, to a degree, troubleshooting help with errors that might occur when you run the code. You can also let ChatGPT do the heavy lifting by clicking “Fix Bug” – at least it works in this demo, and you can also ask it to show its own work.
Like clockwork, OpenAI’s day four of its 12 days of announcements just kicked off, and we’re curious as to what’s in store for the day after the unveiling of Sora. In fact, they kicked off this stream by noting that the entire OpenAI team is working late and early on Sora working to get more folks access to it. Similarly, the hope is wait times for generating videos might be lower.
Day 4 is not more news about Sora but about ChatGPT’s Canvas feature, which has been in beta for several months. Well, that changes today as Canvas is rolling out to everyone and will be able to be integrated within Custom GPTs. Furthermore, OpenAI will now let you run Python code within Canvas and see the output, as long as it’s text or graphics.
In a demo, you can select Canvas from the main ChatGPT search, and the view shows you a side-by-side experience, with your prompts on the left and the Canvas with new text on the right. You can ask ChatGPT to edit the document, or you can go right in, but either way, the result lives on the left. And yes, Canvas supports emojis as well.
Could Operator Agent be next?
It’s Graham Barlow, Senior AI Editor at TechRadar, and today I’ve been thinking about what OpenAI will announce today.
Do you remember the Operator Agent? It’s the rumored AI agent that works inside your Internet browser with a fair degree of autonomy, performing tasks for you, like an enhanced AI virtual assistant.
Well, ever since OpenAI got Advanced Voice Mode working in the browser-based version of ChatGPT, we’ve been a step closer to the release of its first AI agent. So, soon we might be able to use voice commands to control an AI agent who can do tasks for us, on our laptop, for example.
I’m going to put my cards on the table and guess that today’s announcement will be the long-awaited Operator Agent. Will I be right? Don’t miss what happens at 10am PT, and you’ll find everything you need to know right here.
Sora is back up
A small note on Sora, one of OpenAI’s 12 Days of OpenAI releases from yesterday. If you tried to sign up for Sora yesterday and received a “Sign ups are temporarily unavailable” message then don’t worry. It looks like Sora is back on track.
As we reported yesterday, even people who already had a ChatGPT Plus account received an “Unable to generate video” message when using Sora because the system was at full capacity.
Well, we’re happy to report that video generation is flowing again with Sora, and to celebrate here’s a video we made of a couple of happy puppies floating in a bubble over the Grand Canyon!
We’ve got nine more days of reveals to come as part of “12 days of OpenAI” and quite honestly I have no idea what to expect anymore.
Sora and o1 were the big launches we were all hoping for, and they’ve already happened. That means we could see minor reveals over the next week or so, but honestly, that would do a disservice to the exciting advent calendar-themed event OpenAI has put on so far.
So, I’m hoping we get some even more exciting reveals in the coming days, after all the bar has been set incredibly high, so why not absolutely shatter expectations with a major announcement? What could that be you ask? Well, your guess is as good as mine. Maybe something to do with an AI agent that completes tasks for you.
Welcome back to Day 4 of OpenAI’s 12 Days of OpenAI! After yesterday’s massive announcement of Sora, OpenAI’s long-awaited text-to-video generation tool, we’re not expecting today’s announcement to be quite so momentous, but you never know…
What can we expect? We’re still hoping for some improvements to the image generation inside ChatGPT, which is currently handled by DALL-E 3. Some improvements to the newly launched ChatGPT search would be welcome, not to mention bringing search to everybody on the free tier.
Day 3 was billed as “Something you’ve been waiting for”, which makes us think that Day 4 could be something we haven’t been waiting for. Perhaps something we haven’t even thought of yet. Make sure you’re here at 10.00am PT to find out what it is.
Speaking of Sora, OpenAI’s new video generator it seems like the much-anticipated tool is available worldwide, but not in the UK or the EU.
At the moment there’s no way to access Sora if you’re in either of those regions, but hopefully, OpenAI will bring the video generator to users in the UK and EU soon.
As it stands, only TechRadar’s US AI team has been able to try Sora, and Editor At Large, Lance Ulanoff’s first impressions article “This is too easy – I just used Sora for the first time and it blew my mind“, makes those of us in the UK incredibly envious.
Check out a GIF of his first-ever AI-generated video using Sora above.
The reasons for OpenAI creating a $200 ChatGPT Pro tier are becoming clearer after it released its astounding AI video generating tool, Sora, to the public yesterday.
Sora is only available to people who have a ChatGPT Plus ($20) or ChatGPT Pro ($200) subscription, but the difference in what you can do in Sora between the two tiers is quite substantial.
On a ChatGPT Plus account you get 1,000 credits, which means you can generate 50 videos a month, but they are limited to 720p resolution and 5 seconds length each. That’s really not a lot to be working with.
However, once you bump up your subscription to Pro you get 10,000 credits, which is enough for 500 priority videos, after which you can still generate videos, but they will take longer. You can also generate at 1080p resolution for 20 seconds and, crucially, the Sora watermark is removed from your downloaded videos.
That’s a massive difference between the two tiers. ChatGPT Plus seems like more of an introductory level where you can play with creating videos, but if you want to produce anything more serious, you’re going to need a ChatGPT Pro subscription.
Well, that was fast
Guess I wasn’t the only one with the idea to hop on the Sora train. As of this moment, the system is at capacity, and while some features in the Sora interface, like storyboarding still work, it can’t generate any new AI video because the system is at capacity.
It may take a while for things to calm down – it is Day 1, after all – but when they do, you’ll want to give Sora a spin. Trust me.
This is too easy
Editor at Large Lance Ulanoff here.
As soon as Sam Altman and company stopped speaking, I hopped onto Sora. First, I had to find it: it’s at Sora.com, and then I needed to log in. My corporate account didn’t offer support for Sora, but my personal ChatGPT account, which is ChatGPT Plus for now, did. Unlike other ChatGPT models, Sora is a stand-alone desktop app.
I verified my age (new, I think, for OpenAI, I think), and then I found myself inside Sora, which starts with a grid of other people’s AI video creations.
I didn’t really look around and instead started typing in the prompt field where I asked for a middle-aged man building a rocketship by the ocean., I described a tranquil scene with the moon, the ocean lapping nearby, a campfire, and a friendly dog. I didn’t touch the default settings: 5 secs, 480p, and instead selected the up arrow to generate my first video.
It only took a minute or so for a pair of options to appear. One was a 5-second clip of a dog that started with a tail for its head. The other 5-second video got the dog right but also had the man building a small rocketship model.
I’m currently awaiting a remix (I didn’t ask for a “strong remix”) that imagines a full-sized rocket. this second pass, which is possible on all Sora video creations, is taking a lot longer. Even so. Wow.
And that about wraps about the showcase for Sora. On the subject of availability, Sam Altman noted that Sora is available today in the United States and other countries, but as of now, OpenAI doesn’t know when it will launch in Europe and the UK.
In terms of generations, if you have a ChatGPT Plus account, you get 50 generations a month, while a ChatGPT Pro account basically allows unlimited generations.
Of course, OpenAI showed off Sora’s remix functionality and swapped wooly mammoths for robots, and the results are certainly something. It wasn’t instantaneous like the original generation, but it did take a few minutes.
Now, the OpenAI team is demoing its first video generation, with Sam Altman providing the prompt, “Woolly mammoth walking through the desert.” Beyond the prompt, you can choose a resolution—480p to 1080p –, length, and aspect ratio.
As we wait for that video to be generated, OpenAI is showing off a new “Storyboard” feature, which looks much like a standard timeline. Except it’s one where you can drag cards and put in the text describing what you’d like it to generate.
Maybe even cooler, though, is that you can use Storyboard to create a video from an image you uploaded; in the example, OpenAI uploaded a photo of a lighthouse to a card and then can add text to generate it in a specific way.
And here’s the moment we were all waiting for – a look at what Sora created through the prompt “Woolly mammoth walking through the desert,” which generated four different versions. If it’s not what you wanted to see, you can remix it.
OpenAI’s day 3 stream is live, and Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman wasted no time confirming that Sora is here. It’s being launched in the United States and “most countries” outside today and will be available on Sora.com for those with a ChatGPT Plus account. Additionally, Sora Turbo is coming today with additional features, including faster processor times.
After a brief introduction about Sora and the versions arriving and the broader strokes of video being key to OpenAI, we’re now getting a demo of Sora and its interface. Via the “Featured” tab under ‘Explore’ in the interface, you can scroll through a plethora of videos made in Sora, but also clicking on the individual video reveals more details about how the video was created.
Day 3 of the 12 Days of OpenAI is about to kick off, and it’s safe to say that we’re expecting Sora, OpenAI’s text to video generator, to be the main topic, especially after Marques Brownlee posted a full review earlier this morning.
Just like with Days 1 and 2, OpenAI is streaming it on its YouTube channel, and a countdown has already begun.
As if we needed any more hints that Sora, OpenAI’s text to video generation tool, will be the Day 3 mystery announcement as part of 12 Days of OpenAI, Marques Brownlee just posted a video review of Sora on his YouTube channel.
Brownlee has been using Sora for a week and calls it, “a powerful tool that’s about to be in the hands of millions of people”. He calls the results he’s achieved with Sora both “horrifying and inspiring at the same time”.
As well as the quality of the video Sora can produce, we also get to see some of the cool features of Sora, like the Remix button, which lets you make some slight adjustments to a video you’ve just generated without having to type the whole prompt in again. Plus there’s a Storyboard editor, for stringing together prompts into a timeline.
All in all, from this review I’d say that Sora is looking very promising!
Circling back to Thursday’s announcement of ChatGPT o1, the new model which OpenAI released, along with a faster o1-mini. o1 is better at reasoning and considers things for longer before responding. This makes it better at coding, math and writing.
Remember, you can only get access to o1 if you are a Plus or Teams subscriber. Free tier users of ChatGPT stay on ChatGPT-4. Enterprise and Edu users will have access to o1 by Thursday this week.
The release of the o1 model makes us think that any further LLM announcements from OpenAI will be unlikely in the coming days, especially of the long-rumored ChatGPT-5.
We can’t wait to see what today’s announcement is, not long to go now! If it’s not going to be a new LLM then we’d love the see something in the AI image space, or improvements to ChatGPT search, not to mention the long-awaited Sora.
OpenAI o1 is now out of preview in ChatGPT.What’s changed since the preview? A faster, more powerful reasoning model that’s better at coding, math & writing.o1 now also supports image uploads, allowing it to apply reasoning to visuals for more detailed & useful responses. pic.twitter.com/hrLiID3MhJDecember 5, 2024
Hotly tipped for release, potentially today, is augmenting ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode with the ability to use your device’s video camera as an input, so ChatGPT could ‘see’ you and use that to perform its queeries. You could use it to ask ChatGPT how you’re looking today, and get some feedback, for example. Yes, prepare to be judged by AI.
In a demo of the technology OpenAI has already showed us how ChatGPT could be used to roleplay a video interview, giving feedback on how well the person was doing:
A recent tweet by X user akshay suggests that screen sharing could be another input source for ChatGPT, so you could share your screen with the AI and get it to comment on what you’re looking at.
Looks like AVM with video and Screen Share is coming today #OpenAI #Day3 pic.twitter.com/5jah9thpP4December 9, 2024
After recent comments made by OpenAI’s Chad Nelson at his recent C21Media keynote in London it looks like we’re definitely going to see the release of OpenAI’s long-awaited video generation app Sora as part of the 12 Days of OpenAI. A video has surfaced showing a demo of “Sora V2”, (which begs the question, what happened to version 1?)
According to comments made by Nelson in the keynote, the new V2 of Sora will feature 1-minute video output, which can be generated by text to video, text and image to video or text and video to video.
See the latest incredible Sora footage in this tweet by Ruud van der Linden:
Sora v2 release is impending:* 1-minute video outputs* text-to-video* text+image-to-video* text+video-to-videoOpenAI’s Chad Nelson showed this at the C21Media Keynote in London. And he said we will see it very very soon, as @sama has foreshadowed. pic.twitter.com/xZiDaydoDVDecember 7, 2024
While you’re waiting for the next announcement from OpenAI’s 12 Days of OpenAI, due at 10am PT today, perhaps you’d like to read a guide to using ChatGPT with Siri? With iOS 18.2 on the verge of being released, the next Apple update will give iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pro users access to OpenAI’s ChatGPT via Siri for the first time.
If you’re expecting to see GPT-5 as part of the “12 days of OpenAI”, I’ve got bad news for you, kind of.
Just last month, OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, said during a Reddit AMA (Ask me anything), “We have some very good releases coming later this year! Nothing that we are going to call GPT-5, though.”
Well, later this year has arrived, so maybe we will see a new ChatGPT model over the next few days but don’t expect it to have a 5 in its name.
It sounds like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is as disappointed as we are that there will be no new 12 Days of OpenAI announcements until Monday. He has tweeted to say he can’t wait until he can share more news with us and that, “Monday feels so far away”.
i am so, so excited for what we have to launch on day 3. monday feels so far away.December 7, 2024
If you’ve been wondering if 12 Days of OpenAI would continue over the weekend – on Saturday, December 7, and Sunday, December 8, respectively – the company isn’t leaving us hanging.
OpenAI is pausing its 12-day daily announcements until Monday, December 9, writing “Continuing Monday at 10AM PT” on its homepage. This certainly gives us all the weekend to ponder what else is in store. Hopefully, next week, we will see the official reveal of Sora or at least some more details about it.
The first two days were busy with the launch of the o1 reasoning model, a new Pro tier, and a deep dive into reinforcement tuning as demoed on the latest model.
While Sam Altman was not on today’s Day 2 presentation of Open AI’s 12 days of announcements, the executive did take to X (formerly Twitter) to shed some more light on reinforcement finetuning – including a promised public rollout of early 2025 in quarter one.
today we are announcing reinforcement finetuning, which makes it really easy to create expert models in specific domains with very little training data.livestream going now: https://t.co/ABHFV8NiKcalpha program starting now, launching publicly in q1December 6, 2024
Of course, OpenAI had to bring us back down to earth with another joke, though this time, we didn’t get to hear Sam Altman laugh at it, though. With Christmas fast approaching and the business being based in San Fransisco – home to many a self-driving car – it’s pretty on point.
The joke went along the lines of: We live in San Fransisco, self-driving vehicles are all the rage, and Santa’s been trying to get in on this. He’s been trying to make a self driving sleigh, but it keeps hitting trees left and right. Any guesses? He didn’t pine-tune his models.
To help you better visualize it, TechRadar’s Editor-at-Large Lance Ulanoff asked ChatGPT to create an image of it.
While this is not necessarily consumer-focused, OpenAI welcomed Justin Reese, a researcher for rare genetic diseases at Berkeley University. Now, in a live demo on o1 mini, we’re trying to have the model ID genes from a sample data pool that might be responsible for a disease. Of course, it will be fact-checked against known results, but it’s a good test of reinforcement fine-tuning for validation on o1 mini.
Furthermore, within o1 mini, you can refine and customize this fine-tuning process. The aim is to let you get the most out of the data by tweaking the model to your specific needs. It was noted that depending on the amount of data and the task, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to hours to complete.
The results at the end will be plotted within an evaluation dashboard with several presets.
Day 2 of ’12 Days of OpenAI’ is now kicking off, and Sam Altman is not here. Instead, some other team members are teasing a tool that will arrive next year. It’s not a new model or anything in the realm of Sora, but OpenAI’s customization for models will now support reinforcement fine-tuning.
One of the nice things about Day 1 of OpenAI’s “12 days of OpenAI” was its brevity. When Sam Altman sat down before us with three of his engineers, we wondered it we were in for hours of exposition on major AI updates across every aspect of OpenAI’s business. Turned out that OpenAI was really spreading out all its news over 12 days. Yes, that means we’re in for a lot over the next week or so but at least we can count on each day of news being digestible.
On the other hand, can we get to that Sora update and release today? Please? We’re just 10 minutes from finding out…
Here’s another prediction for “12 Days of OpenAI” announcements: videochatGPT. You might be familiar with the Norad Santa Tracker It’s a fun way to track Santa’s flight around the world on the 24th of December. This year I’m thinking that it’s the perfect time for OpenAI to take this a step further with an AI Santa video call demo as part of a new AI video ChatGPT.
So, imagine talking to ChatGPT just like you’re currently doing in ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode, but you’re seeing a video avatar talk back to you. Santa Claus would be the perfect video avatar to kick this off, and it would delight children everywhere. Let’s just hope AI Santa doesn’t start hallucinating because the result could be hilarious…
I mentioned Sora earlier, but just in case you haven’t heard of the AI video generator, here’s an unbelievable trailer from OpenAI showing just what it’s capable of.
My personal favorite here is the prompt “a litter of golden retriever puppies playing in the snow. Their heads pop out of the snow.”
How can AI be so cute? I can’t quite wrap my head around it.
ChatGPT uses Dall-E 3 for image generation, which is right up there with the current crop of AI image generators on the market, however, it’s starting to look a little long in the tooth. New upcoming AI image generators like Flux have been slowly getting better and better.
Could we see a new version of Dall-E in our 12 days of OpenAI? It’s a hotly tipped possibility. If OpenAI can give us image generation that’s better than Flux Pro then it will certainly be a happy holiday season for everybody.
OpenAI o1 is now out of preview in ChatGPT.What’s changed since the preview? A faster, more powerful reasoning model that’s better at coding, math & writing.o1 now also supports image uploads, allowing it to apply reasoning to visuals for more detailed & useful responses. pic.twitter.com/hrLiID3MhJDecember 5, 2024
If you’re just joining us, OpenAI announced the official launch of o1 yesterday, with a “faster, more powerful reasoning model that’s better at coding, math & writing.”
If you want to try it out yourself, just head to ChatGPT and choose the o1 model from the dropdown. Give it a try on your math homework, or a coding challenge, you might be surprised by the results.
OpenAI’s next livestream kicks off at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 6 pm GMT and you can watch it live directly from OpenAI’s website.
If you go to the “12 days of OpenAI” section of the website right now, you’ll see a gorgeous advent calendar, hinting at the exciting days to come. Just like an advent calendar, some days will be better than others, so I’m very intrigued to see if OpenAI keeps up the momentum or if today isn’t quite as stellar as yesterday.
Bookmark that link too, as you’ll be able to revisit all the highlights from the events even if you miss one of the livestreams. Or, you could keep checking in with TechRadar as we’ll keep you up to date on everything you need to know over the next week or so.
What are TechRadar’s predictions for day 2 of OpenAI’s “12 days of OpenAI” I hear you cry? Well, Sam Altman said that we can expect “some big ones and some stocking stuffers” throughout the 12 days, and considering that yesterday we got a brand new version of ChatGPT (ChatGPT o1) I’d predict that today’s Xmas gift from OpenAI will be more of a “stocking stuffer” than one of the “big ones”.
Perhaps a minor update to ChatGPT search or ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode. What am I really hoping for? I want ChatGPT search to be rolled out to all users on the free tier. Fingers crossed!
One of the biggest announcements we expect to see over the next week or so is the official launch of Sora, OpenAI’s video generator which can transform a text prompt into an incredible video.
Sora was leaked last month by unhappy artists who have accused OpenAI of taking advantage for unpaid research and development purposes. There’s definitely a debate to be had on how OpenAI trains its AI models, but that’s maybe one for another day.
In terms of what Sora offers, well, imagine one of the best AI image generators, but video. I’ve not tried Sora yet, but from the demos online, it looks pretty awesome.
OpenAI also announced ChatGPT Pro yesterday, but who is it actually aimed at?
For $200/month ChatGPT Pro gives you unlimited usage and an even smarter version of o1 with “more benefits to come!”
The fact is that for almost everybody the current $20 a month ChatGPT Plus option will be easily sufficient. Perhaps it can do special things (like writing “David Mayer” with no problems), but it seems hard to justify beyond a select few users who need massive computing power. To me, the $200 price point seems more like a price anchor. Essentially, it makes the $20 ChatGPT Plus price point look really good value.
Yesterday, OpenAI kicked off the 12-day event with the announcement that the company’s o1 reasoning model would no longer be in preview, ready for everyone to try.
The AI model thrives with scientific equations and math problems with OpenAI saying o1 can solve 83% of the problems in the International Mathematics Olympiad qualifying exam, a massive improvement on GPT-4o, which only scored 13%. The new model makes fewer errors than the preview version, cutting down on major mistakes by 34%.
That wasn’t the only reveal, however…
Welcome to TechRadar’s “12 days of OpenAI” live blog, where our resident AI experts will be taking you through the next 12 (well, 11) days of everything exciting coming out of the world’s most famous AI company.
What will Sam Altman reveal? How will these new updates and products change the way we use artificial intelligence? Who knows, but we’re incredibly excited to find out.
