12 Days of OpenAI: Live Updates from Day 8, Including ChatGPT, Sora, o1, and More.

Everything you need to know about the last week of the OpenAI event.

We are in the second week of "12 Days of Open AI," OpenAI's Christmas gift. So far, the organization has released a new product each day, starting with notable innovations like Sora, the highly anticipated AI video generator, and the ChatGPT o1 language model, which enhances its reasoning capabilities. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, mentioned at the start of the project that there would be "big announcements and smaller ones," and so far they have alternated between significant releases and less impactful ones.

The first week of this announcement series was so impressive that we are still processing all the new information, and now we have one more week ahead for new surprises. So, what can we anticipate? It's essential to stay alert as they will cover each announcement from OpenAI, along with associated rumors.

Summary of the announcements so far:

  • Day 1: OpenAI launched ChatGPT o1, a new LLM that improves in math and science, alongside a ChatGPT Pro subscription for $200.
  • Day 2: This day focused on developers with the introduction of AI Reinforcement Fine-Tuning, a technique to optimize the reasoning of AI models.
  • Day 3: A major release took place with Sora, the AI video generator, although its full use requires a ChatGPT Pro subscription.
  • Day 4: Canvas was introduced, an update for ChatGPT that facilitates text and code management, adding enhanced writing tools.
  • Day 5: The integration of ChatGPT into Apple Intelligence was announced as part of iOS 18.2, although it experienced crashes after its release.
  • Day 6: The Advanced Voice Mode of ChatGPT was added, which can now see what appears on the screen.
  • Day 7: ChatGPT introduced the Projects feature, designed to organize AI usage sessions.

Today, on Day 8, the functionality of ChatGPT's search was highlighted, which improves user experience and is being deployed across all platforms globally. Day 9 is expected to focus on developer tools, moving away from consumer-oriented features.

The ongoing evolution of OpenAI raises questions about future releases, including potential advancements in image generation and podcasting tools. With a week filled with new developments ahead, expectations are high for what might be announced soon.
