Llama 4 Takes AI Crown, Outranks All Models

Meta unveiled Llama 4, featuring models Scout, Maverick, and the upcoming Behemoth, all trained on vast amounts of unlabeled text, image, and video data for enhanced visual understanding.

Details:

• Meta launched Llama 4 amid competition from DeepSeek, whose success pushed Meta to fast-track development in emergency war rooms, aiming to match DeepSeek’s performance at lower costs

• Llama 4 uses a mixture of experts (MoE) architecture, splitting tasks across specialized models. Maverick has 400 billion parameters, with 17 billion active parameters across 128 experts. Scout features 109 billion parameters and a 10-million token context window for processing long documents and images

• EU users face restrictions, as the license prohibits use or distribution in the EU due to privacy regulations. Companies with over 700 million monthly active users must request special licensing from Meta

OpenAI

OpenAI Reverses Course, Will Launch o3 and o4 as GPT-5 Timeline Shifts

OpenAI has reversed its February decision to cancel the o3 reasoning model's release, planning to launch both o3 and even o4-mini version soon, while delaying GPT-5.

Details:

• CEO Sam Altman announced that GPT-5 is progressing well, but integration and capacity challenges for high demand have delayed its release to a few months

• GPT-5 will offer tiered features: standard users get unlimited chat at base intelligence, Plus subscribers get enhanced capabilities, and Pro subscribers use the highest tier

• OpenAI will release its first open language model since GPT-2 in the coming months, featuring reasoning capabilities, to compete with labs like DeepSeek that share their models for f-r-e-e

These shifts reflect OpenAI's effort to balance innovation with responsible deployment while staying competitive in a crowded AI landscape with rivals adopting more open release strategies.

Microsoft

Microsoft Copilot Gains Web Browsing and Automated Action Capabilities

Microsoft has expanded its AI assistant Copilot, making it a proactive digital assistant that completes tasks across the web and remembers personal preferences, boosting its competition with ChatGPT and Google's Gemini.

Details:

• Copilot can perform tasks on most websites, like booking flights, reserving tables, and ordering flowers, with support from partners like Booking(.)com and OpenTable. It can also track price drops on items you're watching

• The update includes memory features, remembering your preferences across conversations, and real-time video analysis from your phone's camera. On Windows, it can view your screen to assist with searches, settings, and file organization

• Tools include a Pages function for consolidating notes and research, Deep Research for analyzing multiple sources, and a podcast-like feature that generates audio summaries users can interrupt with questions

These updates come as Microsoft considers using more of its own AI in Copilot. While performance data isn’t provided, users can delete memories or opt out of personalization for privacy.
