On 9 April 2025, Anthropic announced its new premium subscription tier for its Claude AI assistant, named Max, positioning it as a direct competitor to OpenAI’s $200 ChatGPT Pro service. The Max subscription is available in two pricing tiers: $100 per month for five times the usage limit of
On 2 April 2025, OpenAI introduced PaperBench, a novel performance evaluation system designed to assess AI agents’ capabilities in replicating cutting-edge artificial intelligence research. Developed as part of the OpenAI Preparedness Framework, which measures AI systems’ readiness for complex tasks, PaperBench specifically challenges AI agents to accurately replicate 20 significant
Recent advancements in the mathematical capabilities of large language models (LLMs) have sparked interest, yet detailed human evaluations from the 2025 USAMO (USA Mathematical Olympiad) reveal that current models fall significantly short in generating rigorous mathematical proofs. While benchmarks like MathArena paint a positive picture of LLM performance on the
In 2025, AI agents built on foundation models are revolutionising enterprise environments, surpassing traditional generative AI solutions. While most organisations still deploy ChatGPT-like applications, leading companies are adopting autonomous AI agents that respond to commands and execute complex business processes with minimal human intervention. Data-driven results from enterprise implementations demonstrate
On 8 April 2025, Amazon announced the Nova Sonic foundation model, which combines speech understanding and speech generation into a single model, enabling more human-like voice-based conversations in AI applications. This new technology not only comprehends what is said but also how it is said—including tone, style, and speech
On 8 April 2025, Chinese DeepSeek AI introduced its novel technology, Self-Principled Critique Tuning (SPCT), marking a significant advancement in the reward mechanisms of large language models. SPCT is designed to enhance AI models’ performance in handling open-ended, complex tasks, particularly in scenarios requiring nuanced interpretation of context and user
