OpenAI released o3-pro, an upgraded version of its reasoning model that outperforms competitors on key benchmarks — while simultaneously reducing its o3 prices by 80% in a direct challenge to Google and Anthropic’s top models. o3-Pro is designed to "think longer," boosting reliability and performance in technical fields like math, science, and programming.

Meta is reportedly shaking up its AI division with a new “superintelligence lab” hand picked by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, with a multi-billion dollar deal to bring Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang and other top talent onboard. The $15B deal sends cash to Scale's existing shareholders while allowing Meta to sidestep regulatory acquisition concerns with a 49% stake in the company.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman published a new blog post titled “The Gentle Singularity,” claiming humanity has passed the AI event horizon — predicting superintelligence will reshape society, but its changes will remain manageable.

The French startup unveiled Magistral Medium, as well as a 24B-parameter, open-weight variant. Both can “think” through problems step-by-step to deliver more accurate results. While they can’t quite compete with Anthropic’s Claude 4 or Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, they mostly hold their own against DeepSeek’s R1.

AI Tutorial

How to build your own AI voice from scratch

  1. Go to Hume.ai and create an account.

  2. Select Design a voice and grant access to your device’s microphone (the creation process is entirely verbal).

  3. Hume’s AI will start a conversation with you. Just describe the qualities you want the voice to have.

  4. Answer all the questions until Hume AI stops asking, or select Proceed to Customized Voice if you feel you’ve given enough detail. The AI will then create the voice.

  5. Engage in a conversation with your newly created voice to check if it’s what you wanted.

  6. You can provide feedback. If you like the voice, click the thumbs-up symbol.

  7. If you click the thumbs-down symbol, you’ll have the option to try creating the same voice again. Click Retry and it will re-generate, hopefully giving you something closer to what you want.

  8. Once you’re done, you can click the + icon to add the voice to your account – select Continue, or just exit the chat by clicking the red button to return to the home screen.
