OPENAI HINTS AT NEW SECRET WRITING MODEL ✍️

Q: Why do writers always feel cold?

A: They’re constantly surrounded by drafts! 🌬️

What’s up? According to CEO Sam Altman, OpenAI has trained an AI model that’s “really good” at creative writing.

Why is this significant? Altman shared a sample on X (above) from the secret writing model, which had been asked to write a metafictional short story about AI and grief. Altman was impressed, saying it was the first time AI-generated writing had truly struck him. This marks a shift for OpenAI, which has mainly focused on areas like coding and problem-solving rather than fiction. If AI can now grasp complex literary styles and emotions, it could be a game-changer for writers, publishers, and the creative industry. While AI-generated fiction still has limitations, OpenAI’s progress suggests machines are becoming more adept at storytelling. Whether this is a new tool for writers or a feature of GPT-5 remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: AI is no longer just for data and numbers.

GOOGLE MAKES PROGRESS ON AI-POWERED ROBOTS 🤖

Q: Why don't robots get scared?

A: They have nerves of steel! 🦾

What’s going on? Google DeepMind has launched two new AI models for robotics—Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER—both powered by its latest AI system, Gemini 2.0.

Want the details? Unlike traditional AI that focuses on text and images, these models allow robots to follow commands and perform real-world tasks. The goal is to make robots more adaptable, responsive, and capable of delicate hand movements. These new models come amidst Google’s partnership with Texas-based robotics company Apptronik, with an aim to develop advanced humanoid robots. In demonstration videos (above), Apptronik robots successfully plugged in power cords, packed lunchboxes, and handled small objects based on voice instructions. Google also announced that Gemini Robotics-ER will be available to other, select robotics companies to help them train their own AI-powered robots.

OPENAI REQUESTS EXEMPTION FROM GOV. REGULATIONS 🙅‍♂️

AI is getting political! 🙃

What’s new? OpenAI has formally asked the Trump administration to protect AI companies from a wave of state regulations if they agree to share their models with the federal government.

Want the details? In a newly-released policy document, OpenAI argued that inconsistent state rules could slow U.S. innovation, especially in competition with China. The company proposed that AI firms could work voluntarily with the U.S. AI Safety Institute, which could provide regulatory relief at the federal level. This would include exemptions from state laws focused on AI security. OpenAI also pushed for federal support for AI infrastructure and fair use protections in copyright law. Without fair access to data, OpenAI warned, U.S. companies could fall behind in AI development. The company said that if China’s “developers have unfettered access to data and American companies are left without fair use access, the race for AI is effectively over.” The proposal even suggested that AI firms gain access to government-held data, including healthcare information, to improve training models. Whether this effort will be successful or not remains to be seen, as the White House is currently drafting AI policy.
