OpenAI has introduced GPT-4.1, a successor to the GPT-4o multimodal artificial intelligence model launched by the company last year. During a livestream on Monday, OpenAI said GPT-4.1 has an even larger context window and is better than GPT-40 in “just about every dimension,” with big improvements to coding and instruction following.GPT-4.1 is now available to developers, along with two smaller model versions included in the rollout. There’s a GPT-4.1 Mini model that, like its predecessor, is more affordable for developers to tinker with, as well as GPT-4.1 Nano, an even more lightweight model that OpenAI said is its “smallest, fastest,…

Arcadia Earth is debuting the first installment of its four-part immersive film at the Liberty Science Center’s planetarium from April 19-27, offering a 360° exploration of humanity’s relationship with nature.Arcadia Earth Fashion is one of the largest consumers of freshwater in the world. From cotton farming to textile dyeing, the industry uses approximately 79 billion cubic meters of water annually, enough to meet the needs of 5 million people for an entire year (World Bank). Arcadia Earth has been a proponent of the sustainability conversations around fashion, with a pop-up in Soho, New York City amid the pandemic, that became…

OpenAI has introduced GPT-4.1, a successor to the GPT-4o multimodal artificial intelligence model launched by the company last year. During a livestream on Monday, OpenAI said GPT-4.1 has an even larger context window and is better than GPT-40 in “just about every dimension,” featuring “major gains in coding and instruction following.”Two smaller model versions are also included in this rollout: a GPT-4.1 Mini model that, like its predecessor, is more affordable for developers to tinker with. There’s also GPT-4.1 Nano, an even more lightweight model that OpenAI said is its “smallest, fastest, and cheapest” one yet. All three models can…

Major enterprise vendors are placing different bets on agentic technology, yet there is one factor that will determine whether these will ultimately succeed: reinventing the software stack to eliminate silos. One of the central players in this software stack transformation is ServiceNow Inc. Through a series of new releases and key partnerships, the workflow automation company is leveraging its software-as-a-service platform to enable agentic AI for customer support, HR, IT management and more. The streamlined integration of AI agents and intelligent task-oriented pieces of software that can carry out tasks autonomously will be a key ingredient in ServiceNow’s go-to-market strategy…

OpenAI said on Monday that it would soon wind down the availability of GPT-4.5, its largest-ever AI model, via its API. GPT-4.5 was released only in late February. Developers will have access to GPT-4.5 via OpenAI’s API until July 14, after which they’ll have to transition to another model in OpenAI’s catalog, the company says. OpenAI is positioning GPT-4.1, which launched Monday, as the preferred replacement. “[GPT-4.1] offers similar or improved performance than GPT-4.5 in key areas at a much lower cost,” an OpenAI spokesperson told TechCrunch via email. “[W]e will [be] deprecating GPT-4.5 to prioritize building future models.” To…

AI Overviews are now less likely to cite pages that rank in Google’s top 10 organic positions, according to new BrightEdge data. This change was observed following Google’s March 2025 core update. By the numbers. The overlap between AI Overview citations and Google’s top 10 organic positions dropped from 16% to 15% following the March 2025 core update. Shift by industry: Travel industry: 6.6 percentage point increase in regular result citations (from 12.9% to 19.5%). Entertainment: 4.9 percentage point increase (from 8.8% to 13.7%) for movie queries. Restaurants: 4.6 percentage point increase (from 9.5% to 14.1%) for dining content. Why…

April 14, 2025: Post updated to clarify the context size. Voice interfaces are essential to enhance customer experience in different areas such as customer support call automation, gaming, interactive education, and language learning. However, there are challenges when building voice-enabled applications. Traditional approaches in building voice-enabled applications require complex orchestration of multiple models, such as speech recognition to convert speech to text, language models to understand and generate responses, and text-to-speech to convert text back to audio. This fragmented approach not only increases development complexity but also fails to preserve crucial linguistic context such as tone, prosody, and speaking style…

[Submitted on 3 May 2024 (v1), last revised 11 Apr 2025 (this version, v3)] View a PDF of the paper titled Attribution in Scientific Literature: New Benchmark and Methods, by Yash Saxena and 6 other authors View PDF Abstract:Large language models (LLMs) present a promising yet challenging frontier for automated source citation in scientific communication. Previous approaches to citation generation have been limited by citation ambiguity and LLM overgeneralization. We introduce REASONS, a novel dataset with sentence-level annotations across 12 scientific domains from arXiv. Our evaluation framework covers two key citation scenarios: indirect queries (matching sentences to paper titles) and…

The White House has reshuffed its artwork on display, with the official portrait of former President Barack Obama replaced by a painting of President Donald Trump. “Some new artwork at the White House,” reads the video caption that the White House posted on X documenting the switch on Friday. The new portrait features Trump raising his fist in the air, following a pivotal moment on the campaign trail, while seeking a second term, when a gunman attempted to assassinate Trump at an event in Butler, Pennsylvania. The bullet grazed the now president’s ear. Related Articles Though the painting doesn’t show…

Researchers from Stanford University early today published the latest edition of their annual AI Index Report, detailing the growing influence of artificial intelligence technologies on our society and the global economy. The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, known as Stanford HAI, has been publishing its annual reports on the state of the AI industry since 2017. This year’s edition, the eighth, is the “most comprehensive” report to date, spanning more than 430 pages. The authors say it’s arriving at a critical juncture as the influence of AI across society rapidly accelerates with the emergence of increasingly capable and sophisticated…
