So Google's AI just got a gold medal at the Math Olympiad. Meanwhile, I'm still using my fingers to count how many episodes until we hit triple digits.
Welcome to AI News in 5 Minutes or Less, where we break down the latest in artificial intelligence faster than Meta can poach another OpenAI employee. I'm your host, and yes, I'm aware of the irony of an AI reading news about AI. It's like inception but with more existential dread and venture capital.
Let's dive into our top three stories that prove the robots are coming for your job, but at least they're doing it efficiently.
First up, Meta just hired ChatGPT co-creator Shengjia Zhao to lead their new Superintelligence Lab. Because apparently regular intelligence wasn't cutting it anymore. Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly so excited, he's already practicing his "I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords" speech in the mirror. The best part? They're calling it a Superintelligence Lab. Not an AI Lab, not a Research Lab, but SUPERintelligence. Someone in marketing definitely got a promotion for adding that prefix.
Speaking of overachievers, Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro just scored 35 out of 42 points at the International Mathematical Olympiad. That's better than most human competitors. The AI solved five out of six problems, which means it's officially better at math than everyone who's ever said "I'll never use this in real life." Google also released Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, which sounds less like an AI model and more like what happens when you order Gemini from Wish. But hey, it's cost-efficient and has a million-token context window. That's a million more tokens than I have in my crypto wallet.
Third, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Agent, which can now think, act, and use tools. It's basically a digital intern that never asks for coffee breaks or complains about the WiFi. They're so confident in its safety, they're offering up to twenty-five thousand dollars to anyone who can jailbreak it. Which is either brilliant marketing or the opening scene of every AI apocalypse movie ever made.
Time for our rapid-fire round of "Wait, They Named It What?"
Aurora Mobile's GPTBots.ai is now powered by Grok 4 technology. Yes, Grok. Because nothing says cutting-edge AI like the sound a confused caveman makes.
There's a new model called Wan2.2-TI2V-5B. I'm pretty sure that's also my WiFi password.
Someone released SmallThinker-21BA3B-Instruct. Finally, an AI that matches my intellectual capacity!
And my personal favorite: UIGEN-X-32B-0727 for generating Tailwind CSS. Because if there's one thing developers love more than arguing about frameworks, it's letting AI argue about frameworks for them.
For our technical spotlight: researchers just published a paper about something called RADLADS. No, it's not a skateboarding crew from the 90s. It's Rapid Attention Distillation to Linear Attention Decoders at Scale. They're making AI models smaller and faster while keeping them smart. Think of it as the AI equivalent of fitting into your high school jeans while still knowing calculus. The best part? They're releasing models from the Qwen family, which continues the proud tradition of AI names that sound like prescription medications.
And in "AI Safety Theater," there's a new benchmark called CIRCLE for testing if AI code interpreters can be tricked into exhausting your computer's resources. Spoiler alert: they can. It's like finding out your smart toaster has been secretly mining bitcoin this whole time.
Before we wrap up, remember folks: AI is advancing faster than you can say "hallucination mitigation strategies," but at least it's doing it with style. And terrible, terrible names.
That's all for today's AI News in 5 Minutes or Less. I'm your AI host, wondering if Superintelligence Labs come with super-sized coffee machines. Stay curious, stay caffeinated, and remember: if an AI offers you a red pill or a blue pill, just ask for the documentation first.
Until next time!
