ChatGPT’s upgraded voice mode is better at shutting up

Microsoft plans to focus more on in-house AI models in an effort to reduce its costs for generative AI (genAI), Bloomberg reports. The company has begun using its own MAI models to handle some user AI requests in Word and Excel rather than relying solely on models from OpenAI and Anthropic. The company still uses third-party models, but has invested increasingly in its own AI solutions over the past year. At the Build developer conference in June, Microsoft unveiled seven new MAI models, including an AI code assistant and an image-generation model. As the costs of advanced genAI models have risen, several tech companies — including Amazon, Meta, and Accenture — have reportedly been trying to find ways to reduce their expenses.

The post Elon Musk unveils Grok 4.5 as OpenAI readies GPT-5.6 showdown appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Elon Musk has confirmed that SpaceXAI will release its Grok 4.5 artificial intelligence model to the public on Thursday after completing beta testing, setting up a direct contest with OpenAI’s upcoming GPT-5.6 launch. Summary Elon Musk says SpaceXAI will launch Grok 4.5 publicly after positive beta testing. OpenAI plans to release GPT-5.6 models Sol, Terra, and Luna on the same day. Grok 4.5 runs on xAI’s new 1.5-trillion-parameter V9 model with a strong focus on coding. According to Elon Musk, the decision follows strong feedback from users who tested Grok 4.5 during its beta phase. In a post on X, Musk described the model as “an Opus-class model, but faster, more token-efficient, and lower cost,” adding that the public rollout will begin tomorrow.  Based on strong positive feedback from customers in our beta test program, @SpaceXAI will make Grok 4.5 available to the public tom

When it comes to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), large language models just don’t have what it takes. Models like ChatGPT and Claude are great at text, but they’re less skilled at understanding how things actually move through space and time — an essential skill for producing intelligence that generalizes. That gap, it turns out, might be filled by gaming data. That’s the bet behind General Intuition, a […]
