AI2 has launched OLMo 2 32B, the first fully open model to surpass GPT-3.5 and GPT-4o mini on academic benchmarks, while using only a third of the training compute required by similar models like Qwen 2.5 32B.

Microsoft and Xbox have unveiled "Copilot for Gaming," an AI-powered assistant designed to help players quickly enter games, offer in-game coaching, and enhance social interactions. Early access will soon be available for mobile users.

Alibaba introduced New Quark, a revamped version of its AI assistant mobile app, now powered by the new Qwen reasoning model.

Google has added support for YouTube in the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, enabling the model to leverage vision capabilities to interact with video content.

Former OpenAI researcher Andrej Karpathy predicted that AI will drive a major shift in web content design, with pages being optimized for LLMs and context windows rather than human readability.

OpenAI's Strategic Move: Navigating the Regulatory Landscape

OpenAI has just released a 15-page submission in response to the White House’s call for public input on the AI Action Plan. In it, the company advocates for shielding AI firms from state-level regulations in favor of federal oversight.

Key points include:

• OpenAI warns that the 781 state-level AI bills introduced this year could stifle innovation and reduce U.S. competitiveness against China’s AI ambitions.

• The proposal calls for infrastructure investments, copyright reforms, and broader access to government datasets to support AI development.

• OpenAI highlighted China's "unrestricted access to data," arguing that the AI race could be "effectively over" unless fair use copyright laws are applied in the U.S.

• The company also called for a ban on models like DeepSeek due to security concerns, labeling the lab as “state-controlled.”

Why it matters: OpenAI’s regulatory ambitions are now on par with its technical ones, driven by its $500B Stargate Project and growing influence in Washington. However, its call for exemptions from state laws while seeking to restrict open-source competitors comes at a delicate moment, as it faces heavy scrutiny over closed-source models and ongoing copyright disputes.
