TechCrunch, a technology media outlet, published a blog post yesterday (December 23), arguing that although OpenAI's o3 model has achieved impressive results in tests such as ARC-AGI, the high computational cost behind it makes it difficult to popularize it in practical applications in the short term. o3 Performance One of the new features of o3 is the ability to adjust the inference time, which is categorized into three computation levels: low, medium, and high, and the higher the computation level, the better the task execution performance of o3. And o3 is an important step towards that goal for OpenAI, as demonstrated in the ARC-AGI benchmark ......

The current AGI (1AI note: General Artificial Intelligence) fever has been unabated. OpenAI CEO Altman believes that AGI will be realized earlier than expected with the support of existing hardware, while former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that once AI begins to improve itself, we should consider suspending its further development. In an interview with U.S. television network ABC News on the 17th of this month, Schmidt said: "Eventually you may be able to tell the computer, 'Learn everything, do everything.

On December 18th-19th, the Volcano Engine FORCE Power Conference was officially held in Shanghai. The most interesting point of this conference is undoubtedly the upgrading of the beanbag model family and the release of the new beanbag visual understanding model. The Beanbag Visual Understanding Model has industry-leading content recognition, understanding and reasoning capabilities, as well as more detailed visual description capabilities. It is equivalent to adding a pair of eyes to the big model so that it can recognize the real world and understand the real world like humans. This undoubtedly expands the forms and application scenarios of human interaction with big models. Just Volcano Engine ......
