@RealSkipBayless Consider the possibility that the Rams and the Seahawks were the two best teams in the NFL, and the NFC championship was the actual super bowl

The @Seahawks have taken S Nick Emmanwori off the injury report all together. He practiced in full. Big news for Seattle.

Super excited to finally share what I have been working on at OpenAI!

o1 is a model that thinks before giving the final answer. In my own words, here are the biggest updates to the field of AI (see the blog post for more details):

1. Don’t do chain of thought purely via prompting, train models to do better chain of thought using RL.

2. In the history of deep learning we have always tried to scale training compute, but chain of thought is a form of adaptive compute that can also be scaled at inference time.

3. Results on AIME and GPQA are really strong, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to something that a user can feel. Even as someone working in science, it’s not easy to find the slice of prompts where GPT-4o fails, o1 does well, and I can grade the answer. But when you do find such prompts, o1 feels totally magical. We all need to find harder prompts.

4. AI models chain of thought using human language is great in so many ways. The model does a lot of human-like things, like breaking down tricky steps into simpler ones, recognizing and correcting mistakes, and trying different approaches. Would highly encourage everyone to look at the chain of thought examples in the blog post.

The game has been totally redefined.

here is o1, a series of our most capable and aligned models yet:

o1 is still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it.

Here's my conversation with Pieter Levels (@levelsio), self-taught developer and entrepreneur who designed, programmed, shipped, and ran over 40 startups, many of which are hugely successful. In most cases, he did it all by himself, while living the digital nomad life in over 40 countries and over 150 cities. This was a fun and inspiring conversation!

It's here on X in full, and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.

@Pilestedt @helldivers2 I've been excitedly waiting for this warbond all week!

[Adam Owada @AdamOwada]

@imlailagomez @PicturesFoIder I think the answer is "8 + 2 + 7".

The idea is 10 + 7 is easier than 8 + 9. But like the instructions are really confusing, the visual looks like it's adding up 5s, and by the same logic 9 + 1 + 7 is an equally valid answer 🤷‍♂️

AI is like reverse Hitler to me cause we keep waiting on it to kill everybody but it won't stop making art

I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made)

I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

@EllieGAnders South Park had the same idea in the episode "Krazy Kripples". Jimmy and Timmy organized a lock in at the rec center to end gang violence.
