Google recently announced that it is expanding its Gemini 2.0 family to offer developers and users with advanced AI capabilities. With improved speed and reasoning, Gemini 2.0 Flash is now available through the Gemini API, Google AI Studio, and Vertex AI. Google also introduced Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental, which is said to be their most advanced model for complicated prompts and code.

OpenAI has just introduced DeepResearch, its new AI agent designed to autonomously conduct complex, multi-step research tasks on the internet. Built into ChatGPT, it operates using OpenAI's upcoming o3 model, which is optimized for reasoning, web browsing, and data analysis.

For years, the U.S. has imposed strict semiconductor export restrictions to slow China’s progress in artificial intelligence. But rather than stifling innovation, these measures may have pushed Chinese companies like DeepSeek to develop competitive AI models with limited resources. DeepSeek’s R1 model, built on less powerful hardware due to U.S. sanctions, has shaken the AI industry by delivering performance comparable to top-tier models from OpenAI, Google, and Meta—at a fraction of the cost.

DeepSeek’s Unprecedented Growth Faces a Critical Test DeepSeek, a fast-rising Chinese artificial intelligence startup, has become the latest victim in a string of high-profile cyberattacks....

OpenAI has introduced its latest AI tool, Operator, as a research preview, marking a significant advancement in artificial intelligence applications. Operator is a Computer-Using Agent (CUA) based on the GPT-4o model, designed to perform web-based tasks autonomously. It incorporates multimodal capabilities, enabling it to search the web, interpret search results, and interact with on-screen elements much like a human user. However, despite its promising capabilities, the tool has encountered criticism regarding performance inconsistencies, high pricing, and limited accessibility.
