On Tuesday morning, Google unveiled Gemini 2.5, which is described as its most intelligent AI model to date. The first member of Google's new thinking AI models is an experimental version of Gemini 2.5 Pro, which currently tops the LMArena leaderboard. It is ahead of every major AI model, including Grok 3, GPT-4.5, and DeepSeek-R1. Like other reasoning models, Google says that Gemini 2.5 Pro can "analyze information, draw logical conclusions, incorporate context and nuance, and make informed decisions." As for the math and science tests like GPQA and AIME 2025, Gemini 2.5 Pro outperforms other models, with a record-breaking 18.8% on Humanity's Last Exam. Gemini 2.5 Pro is also much better at coding than 2.0, excelling at "creating visually compelling web apps and agentic code applications, along with code transformation and editing." Google even shared a video of a game demo built by the new model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLCBSpgos6s Another upgrade for 2.5 is the context window, which is now capable of holding up to 1 million tokens (with 2 million coming soon). You can feed it enormous datasets that include text, audio, images, video, and even entire code repositories. "Now, with Gemini 2.5, we've achieved a new level of performance by combining a significantly enhanced base model with improved post-training," says Koray Kavukcuoglu, CTO of Google DeepMind, in a blog post. "Going forward, we’re building these thinking capabilities directly into all of our models, so they can handle more complex problems and support even more capable, context-aware agents." If you want to try Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental, it's available right now in Google AI Studio and the Gemini app for Gemini Advanced users, with Vertex AI access coming soon. Google says that pricing will be announced in the coming weeks. You can learn more about Gemini 2.5 on Google's website.

OpenAI launched GPT‑4o image generation this week, giving the company's flagship AI model the ability to generate precise, photorealistic images and edit uploaded images. This is also the first time that users will be able to generate images directly within ChatGPT—a feature that has been on many wishlists for years. "We trained our models on the joint distribution of online images and text, learning not just how images relate to language, but how they relate to each other," OpenAI explains. "Combined with aggressive post-training, the resulting model has surprising visual fluency, capable of generating images that are useful, consistent, and context-aware." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9RN8jX--uc Developing...

Apple just announced the WWDC 2025 dates. The Worldwide Developers Conference will take place from June 9 to 13, 2025. Like the previous years, some developers, students, and media personalities will have the opportunity to join the special keynote at Apple Park on June 9. The event, which was previously held at the San Jose McEnery Center in San Jose, went online during the pandemic and eventually became a hybrid event, with some people going to Apple's headquarters to learn more about its future software updates. The WWDC 2025 keynote is expected to unveil iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16, watchOS 12, tvOS 19, and visionOS 3. “We’re excited to mark another incredible year of WWDC with our global developer community,” said Susan Prescott, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. “We can’t wait to share the latest tools and technologies that will empower developers and help them continue to innovate.” So far, leakers believe iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16, and visionOS 3 will be the most packed software unveilments. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports iOS 19 “will fundamentally change the look of the operating systems and make Apple’s various software platforms more consistent.” According to the journalist, Apple will unify the look of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS to deliver a more straightforward experience through the platform. With that, Apple will adjust the look of icons, menus, apps, windows, and system buttons. This is said to be the most significant redesign for the iPhone since iOS 7 and for the Mac since Big Sur. The primary goal behind these design overhauls is to bring more cohesion to Apple’s disparate operating systems. visionOS 3 is also expected to be a loaded update, as Apple will tackle its newest product category. Lastly, we might see Apple addressing some of the issues with Apple Intelligence while announcing new features coming to the platform.

The cars responsible for collecting photos and 3D scans for Apple Maps' Look Around feature now have a new task: help train Apple Intelligence models. As spotted by 9to5Mac, Apple’s equivalent of Google Street View will now capture images to improve some of the company’s AI functions. In a webpage, Apple explains that its Maps Image Collection practices will also be used to train generative AI models, which include Image Playground and Clean Up. Ultimately, these captures could help Apple's AI create more realistic images, or they could help in any number of other ways. The Apple Maps Image Collection page now states the following: "In addition to improving Apple Maps and the algorithms that blur faces and license plates in images published in Look Around feature, Apple also will use blurred imagery collected during surveys conducted beginning in March 2025 to develop and improve other Apple products and services. This includes using data to train models powering Apple products and services, including models related to image recognition, creation, and enhancement." Apple's Image Collection practice has existed for over a decade now. Apple uses vehicle surveys, iPhones, iPads, and other devices to collect data from locations and help keep its maps up-to-date. Like Google, Apple already blurs faces and license plates from its published Look Around images. Still, it's also possible to ask the company to request that a face, license plate, or your own house be blurred. Interestingly, 9to5Mac noticed this change in the Look Around data collection a few weeks after Apple announced its long-awaited Siri revamp had been indefinitely postponed. Expected for the coming year, Apple had to apologize for unveiling a breakthrough feature that was nothing but a concept. While the company rearranges its executives to work on improving Siri and Apple Intelligence, we know the firm is also focusing on other AI tasks to make its platform more updated.

DeepSeek stormed the AI landscape earlier this year, unleashing DeepSeek AI models (V1 and R1) onto the world that were on par with ChatGPT offerings from OpenAI, including the most advanced o1 reasoning model. The news that China achieved parity with the best AI models from the US despite bans on high-end AI hardware tanked the stock market. DeepSeek developed its AI models without access to the latest hardware, which it's banned from purchasing. Instead, the company resorted to software innovations that helped it reduce costs, as well has using some smuggled processors. DeepSeek is also believed to have distilled ChatGPT versions to train its DeepSeek models, not that it really matters in a world where the likes of OpenAI, Google, Meta, and others have been scraping the web to train their AI on all sorts of data, ignoring copyrights concerns in the process. The bad news didn't stop there. DeepSeek released its models as open-source, which meant anybody could download and run them locally without worrying about paying DeepSeek for access, or about the privacy and data security implications of using software from China. Fast-forward to late March, and DeepSeek has quietly launched DeepSeek V3, its next-gen chatbot that might be used to train the DeepSeek R2 reasoning model that should be released in the coming months. However, DeepSeek didn't make a big deal about the DeepSeek V3 release (yet). As a result, it might not be easy to determine whether you can access it. Continue reading...
