OpenAI announced plans for GPT-4.5 (Orion) and GPT-5, with GPT-5 integrating the o3 model and offering unlimited chat access in the free tier. DeepSeek R1 Distilled Qwen 1.5B outperforms OpenAI's o1-preview on math benchmarks, while ModernBERT 0.3b surpasses Qwen 0.5b at MMLU without fine-tuning. Mistral and Perplexity adopt Cerebras hardware for 10x performance gains.

OpenAI's o3 model won a gold medal at the 2024 International Olympiad in Informatics. Partnerships include Qwen with Groq. Significant RLHF activity is noted in Nigeria and the global south, and Bytedance is expected to rise in AI prominence soon. "GPT5 is all you need."
