OpenAI just released an AI as smart as most PhDs in physics, mathematics and the life sciences. Wake up. The world will never be the same and in many ways, it will be unrecognizable a decade from now.

Mckay Wrigley is enthusiastic:

o1’s ability to think, plan, and execute is off the charts.

Ethan Mollick says:

There are a lot of milestones that AI passed today. Gold medal at the Math Olympiad among them.

Like Ethan, however, I agree the model is not necessarily better at a lot of non-reasoning tasks.  Ethan also notes that AGI will be jagged and uneven.

Subbarao makes guesses as to how it works.  Here is some other guy saying a bunch of stuff.  And yet further commentary.

Whatever you think of those specific claims, there is a lot of room, as with the John Lennon “Strawberry Fields Forever” demo, to get a lot better yet.  For one thing, it can think for longer yet!  Whole new doors have been opened, and if you are reading some lukewarm commentary that is probably what the person does not grasp.  It is the people who think “…if they can do this…” who have been most successful in predicting the course of AI.

Shital Shah remarks:

This is truly a game changer and step change. It takes us out of slow progress constrained by compute capital and training tokens to rather open world where time is the only limit.

I would love to have one of these (with some tweaks) as my agent.

Taelin claims AGI is achieved.  Here is the closest Gary Marcus ever will come to eating crow.  Here is how I would troll OpenAI.

Meanwhile, the status of people who do energy policy is due to rise.

Brian Chau recommends it for looking up citations.

“Model this!”, he demanded of the new fruit.  That is Benjamin Manning, economics graduate student at MIT.  He got his wish.

Is it “It’s happening!”, or rather “It has happened!”?

Here is another song by Strawberry Alarm Clock, sadly no one got the reference the first time around.  It is from the album “Wake Up, It’s Tomorrow”…

Addendum: For context and background, my two previous introductory posts are here and here.
