TODAY IN AI

1. OpenAI’s o1 Pro: The Smartest AI—With a Price to Match: OpenAI just dropped its most advanced AI model yet, o1 Pro—but it comes with a jaw-dropping price tag. At $150 per million input tokens and $600 per million output tokens, it’s the most expensive AI model ever. This marks a clear shift in the industry—while AI is getting smarter, the cutting edge is becoming a luxury. Cursor’s new Claude 3.7 Max follows the same trend, pushing performance higher at a premium cost. AI is evolving fast, but the best models? They’re not coming cheap.
   

2. NVIDIA shows off new AI Superchips, Humanoid Robots & Self-Driving Tech: NVIDIA just flexed hard at GTC 2025, unveiling its most powerful AI hardware yet 💥. The new Blackwell Ultra superchip is an absolute beast, running AI models 10x faster than before. But the real showstoppers? Isaac GR00T N1, a humanoid robot with almost human-like reflexes, and NVIDIA’s next-gen self-driving tech. Companies like Boston Dynamics, Disney, and 1X Technologies are already integrating these breakthroughs, meaning it won’t be long before AI-powered robots and autonomous systems start showing up everywhere. The future isn’t coming—it’s already here.
   

3. Google’s AI Solves a 10-Year Antibiotic Mystery in Just 48 Hours: Imagine spending a decade researching a scientific mystery—only for an AI to solve it in two days. That’s exactly what happened when Google’s AI cracked how superbugs develop antibiotic resistance, independently confirming a discovery that took human scientists 10 years to uncover. It’s an incredible win for AI-assisted science, proving machines can accelerate discoveries at an unreal pace.

TODAY IN THE ROBO WORLD 🧠 

Every big tech event has that one moment—and at this year’s NVIDIA GTC, it was Blue.This small, lovable, Star Wars-like robot is the brainchild of NVIDIA, Disney Research, and Google DeepMind. But Blue isn’t just cute—it’s powered by Newton, a cutting-edge open-source physics engine that gives it an almost eerie level of real-world precision.
