OpenAI reaches 400M weekly active users, doubles enterprise customer base

OpenAI today disclosed that ChatGPT and its other products have more than 400 million active weekly users, a 33% increase from December.  OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap (pictured) told CNBC that the company’s paying customer base is growing rapidly as well.

OpenAI and Google call for US government action to secure AI lead

OpenAI and Google are each urging the US government to take decisive action to secure the nation’s AI leadership. “As America’s world-leading AI sector approaches AGI, with a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) determined to overtake us by 2030, the Trump Administration’s new AI Action Plan can ensure that American-led AI built on democratic principles continues to prevail over CCP-built autocratic, authoritarian AI,” wrote OpenAI, in a letter to the Office of Science and Technology Policy.

These models reach correct conclusions through reasoning that makes no sense. This hints at a deeper problem. Current models don’t really think through visual problems – they pattern match their way to answers. The LlamaV-o1 team discovered this by doing something simple: they forced their model to show its work. The results revealed that most visual reasoning
