This week in the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI), things got really interesting. Imagine a race to build the smartest computer brains – that's kind of what's happening, and here's the news you need to know:

The OpenAI o3-mini model, examining its capabilities, performance, improvements over its predecessors, cost, accessibility, and security. It also includes a comparison with other models, notably DeepSeek-R1 and o1, as well as the impact of revealing the Chain of Thought (CoT).

The podcast highlights howDeep Research, a ChatGPT feature, and theGemini 2.0 model are transforming analysis and research. It emphasizes AI agents' capabilities, notablyDeep Research's ability to synthesize information from diverse sources and perform complex searches.

The podcast episode would cover :

DeepSeek's rapid ascent and its impact on the AI landscape.

The debate around DeepSeek's innovation versus copying, and the investigations into possible misuse of data.

Meta's response to DeepSeek's challenge, with its plans for Llama 4 and its strong financial position.
