MAIN AI UPDATES / 26th Mar 2025

🎨 OpenAI's 4o Image Generation 🎨
Beautiful and useful image creation

OpenAI has integrated image generation directly into GPT-4o, making it their most sophisticated image generator yet. The system produces not just beautiful images but truly useful ones with exceptional accuracy and photorealism. This marks a significant evolution in multimodal AI capabilities, embedding image generation as a primary capability within their language models rather than as a separate tool.

🧠 Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro 🧠
AI that thinks step by step

Google has unveiled Gemini 2.5 Pro, their most advanced AI model to date. The system implements a novel "thinking" approach that reasons through problems step by step, resulting in more accurate and context-aware responses. It maintains a 1 million token context window (expandable to 2 million) and demonstrates exceptional coding performance, currently leading in math and science benchmarks and outperforming competitors like Grok 3 and GPT-4.5.

🔄 Microsoft's Agent Flows 🔄
Combining flexibility with predictability

Microsoft has introduced Agent Flows in Copilot Studio, bringing fixed automation capabilities to their AI agents' workflow. This new feature addresses scenarios where businesses need to combine the predictability of workflows with the flexibility of agents to fully automate processes. Agent Flows are ideal for repetitive business processes that follow predefined deterministic steps, such as document processing, routine financial approvals, and compliance tasks.

INTERESTING NEWS

🦿 Figure's humanoid walks naturally 🦿

Figure AI has achieved an advancement in humanoid robotics with its "learned natural walking" capability. Their Figure 02 robot has developed human-like walking through reinforcement learning in simulation, compressing years of development into hours. The training involved thousands of simulated humanoids with varied parameters, enabling the robot to adapt effectively to real-world conditions.

🪨 Earth AI finds overlooked minerals 🪨

According to TechCrunch, Earth AI's algorithms have successfully identified critical mineral deposits in locations that conventional exploration methods had ignored. This breakthrough demonstrates the potential of AI to revolutionize resource discovery by analyzing geological data in ways human experts might miss, potentially addressing supply challenges for minerals essential to green technology.
