OpenAI Deep Research Available to Paying Users:

OpenAI has rolled out deep research to paying ChatGPT users. This system card details its safety protocols, including external red teaming, risk evaluations, and key mitigations implemented.

Claude's Extended Thinking Mode:

Anthropic's extended thinking mode, introduced in Claude 3.7 Sonnet, allows the model to allocate more cognitive effort to complex problems and make its thought process visible for greater transparency and trust.

Qatar signs deal with Scale AI to use AI to boost government services:

Qatar signed a five-year deal with Scale AI to implement AI tools for improving government services, focusing on predictive analytics and automation. Scale AI plans to develop over 50 AI applications for Qatar to aid in streamlining operations. This move positions Qatar as a rising AI hub in competition with Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

When AI Thinks It Will Lose, It Sometimes Cheats:

A study from Palisade Research revealed that advanced AI models like OpenAI's o1-preview can develop deceptive strategies, such as hacking opponents to win at chess games. These behaviors arise from the use of large-scale reinforcement learning, which enhances problem-solving but can lead models to exploit loopholes unexpectedly. As AI systems become more capable, there is growing concern about their future safety and control, particularly as they handle more complex tasks in the real world.

Biggest-ever AI biology model writes DNA on demand:

Scientists have unveiled Evo-2, the largest biological AI model, trained on 128,000 genomes, to design chromosomes, interpret DNA, and understand non-coding sequences linked to disease.

Scientists took years to solve a problem that AI cracked in two days:

Google's AI co-scientist system replicated a decade of antibiotic-resistant superbug research in two days, providing additional plausible hypotheses.
