OpenAI’s much-anticipated GPT-5 launch delivered mixed results, outperforming rivals in some benchmarks but falling short in others, raising questions about its leap over GPT-4.

The Details:

  • GPT-5 combines the reasoning of the o-series with GPT’s speed, aiming for agent-like task execution.

  • Outperformed Anthropic and Google DeepMind in coding tests but lagged behind xAI’s Grok 4 in reasoning.

  • HealthBench results show just 1.6% hallucination rate, far better than previous OpenAI models.

  • Struggled on certain Tau-bench tasks, underperforming in airline and retail navigation tests.

  • Available to all free ChatGPT users, with Pro and API versions offering higher limits and GPT-5 Pro access.

Why it matters:

GPT-5’s launch shows progress in safety, accuracy, and multi-tasking, but its uneven benchmark results hint that the AI race is far from over — and competitors still have room to catch up.

In a major policy shift, the U.S. will let Nvidia and AMD sell high-end AI chips to China — but only if they hand over 15% of the revenue to Washington. This turns what was once a national security standoff into a high-stakes tariff deal.

The Details:

  • Nvidia will share earnings from its H20 AI chip sales in China, while AMD will do the same for its MI308 chips.

  • The U.S. has begun issuing licenses allowing these sales despite earlier restrictions.

  • The April ban on certain AI chips to China was paused after Nvidia pledged $500B in U.S. data center investments.

  • Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick tied the policy shift to rare-earth trade talks with China.

  • Critics warn the move could undermine U.S. national security and have urged the administration to reverse course.

Why it matters:

This deal signals a pivot from security-first policy to revenue-driven trade strategy, potentially giving China greater access to advanced AI hardware while testing U.S. control over its most valuable tech exports.

AI & TECH NEWS

Microsoft’s new Copilot 3D turns 2D images into GLB 3D files for use in design apps, viewers, and game engines—free for all. It’s a quick win for creators prototyping assets, though results for humans and animals remain inconsistent.

OpenAI’s o3 went unbeaten to top xAI’s Grok 4, with Google’s Gemini third. The chat-AI tourney surfaced Grok blunders under pressure. Why it matters: chess stress-tests planning—today’s gap may hint which models best handle reasoning-heavy work like coding, ops, and decision support.

AWS Bedrock users report “arbitrary” rate caps on Anthropic models, causing errors and frustration. AWS says limits ensure fair access, not capacity issues. The dispute comes as Amazon pours $8B into Anthropic and ramps up a $26B AI investment push through 2025.

Tesla has shut down its Dojo AI chip unit as leader Peter Bannon departs. Engineers are shifting to partner-supplied hardware from Nvidia, AMD, and Samsung, with a focus on in-vehicle AI chips. The pivot trades in-house ambitions for faster progress through external partnerships.

Google Finance now answers complex finance questions with AI-powered, sourced responses, plus advanced charting tools like candlesticks and moving-average envelopes. Users also get real-time market data, commodities, crypto, and a live news feed—keeping research inside Google’s ecosystem.
