Stanford professor Ge Wang argues that current approaches to AI-generated music fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of artistic creation. In his article published on Stanford HAI’s platform, Wang challenges the notion that AI should primarily serve as a labor-saving tool in creative processes. The professor, who teaches Music and Computer Science at Stanford’s Center for Computer …
When people talk about how to get better results with generative AI tools like ChatGPT, they often gravitate towards lists of ready-made prompts. These proven instructions are supposed to produce the desired results like a magic spell. I understand the appeal: It can seem hard to come up with your own winning prompts. It’s disheartening …
OpenAI has released o3-mini, its latest AI reasoning model that offers improved performance in STEM fields while being more cost-effective than its predecessors. The model, which was previewed in December, is now available through both ChatGPT and OpenAI’s API services. The new model demonstrates significant improvements over o1-mini, with OpenAI reporting 24% faster response times …

The system is powered by a …
DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence company, has gained significant attention in the tech industry with the release of its DeepSeek-R1 language model. The model, developed by hedge fund manager Liang Wenfeng’s team, reportedly matches the performance of OpenAI’s leading model while being trained at a fraction of the cost – approximately $5.6 million using 2,048 …
I am not a fan of having articles written by AI alone. In my experience, it still works much better to think of these services as tools and assistants. In that moment, they don’t do the work for you. Instead, they help you do certain tasks faster and more efficiently – including writing. Here’s an …
According to Ben Hylak’s detailed analysis, published as a guest post, OpenAI’s o1 model requires a fundamentally different approach compared to traditional chat models. Hylak, who initially criticized the model but later became a regular user, explains that o1 functions best as a “report generator” rather than a conversational AI. The key to successful o1 …
We are in the third year of the generative AI boom. While some are predicting a stall for the industry as a whole, I personally expect 2025 to be a year of interesting, meaningful and useful advances. Generative AI is here to stay. The advances to come may not always look as exciting as those …
