OpenAI's ChatGPT 5.2 and Google's Gemini 3 were put through a series of tests that highlighted each model's strengths. Both handled a kid‑friendly magic trick prompt with clear step‑by‑step guidance, though ChatGPT offered a breezier tone while Gemini added a storytelling flair. When asked to explain AI hallucinations, each used relatable analogies, with ChatGPT opting for a confident‑friend scenario and Gemini choosing a classroom student metaphor. Their takes on physical‑media nostalgia also revealed distinct stylistic choices, underscoring how the two chatbots differ more in voice than in raw capability. Leia mais →

OpenAI introduced its newest foundation model, GPT-5.2, positioning it as the most advanced offering for developers and professional users. The launch comes as the company faces heightened competition from Google’s Gemini 3 and internal pressure highlighted by a recent “code red” memo from CEO Sam Altman. GPT-5.2 is available in three variants—Instant, Thinking, and Pro—each tailored to speed, complex reasoning, or maximum accuracy. OpenAI emphasizes gains in coding, math, long‑context reasoning, and tool use, while also noting a surge in enterprise adoption and significant infrastructure commitments. Leia mais →

Disney has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Google, accusing the tech giant of massive copyright violations through its AI services. The letter claims Google’s models are free‑riding on Disney’s intellectual property and that the company has refused to adopt available technological safeguards. At the same time, Disney announced a $1 billion licensing agreement with OpenAI that permits the use of more than 200 of its iconic characters in AI‑generated images and videos. The contrasting approaches highlight Disney’s dual strategy of legal enforcement and selective partnership in the evolving AI landscape. Leia mais →

At the NeurIPS 2025 conference, AI experts highlighted that the current strategy of scaling larger transformer models is hitting a performance ceiling, even as Google celebrated the strong results of its Gemini 3 model. Researchers argued that simply adding more data, compute, and training time no longer yields meaningful gains, pointing to a "scaling wall" and the need for new architectures such as neurosymbolic systems or world models. The consensus was that while models like Gemini 3 demonstrate impressive capabilities, they remain fundamentally limited pattern‑matchers lacking true reasoning or causal understanding, underscoring the gap to artificial general intelligence.

OpenAI has accelerated the launch of GPT‑5.2, labeling the effort a “code red” to regain performance ground after Google’s Gemini 3 outperformed its models in recent tests. The update focuses on core improvements—speed, reasoning, and reliability—rather than new flashy features. CEO Sam Altman and other insiders say the rollout, originally slated for later in the month, is now targeted for early December. By prioritizing raw performance, OpenAI aims to restore ChatGPT’s lead in everyday usability and reassure users that the service remains the most dependable AI chatbot. Leia mais →

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced a “code red” response to heightened competition from Google and Anthropic. The company is fast‑tracking its GPT‑5.2 update as a direct reply to Google’s Gemini 3 model, which recently topped leaderboards. Sources say GPT‑5.2 is ready and could appear early next week, aiming to close the gap created by Gemini 3. Earlier plans slated a later December launch, but pressure from rivals moved the timeline forward. OpenAI has not commented for publication. Leia mais →

Google reviewed user‑submitted techniques for crafting effective prompts for its AI image tool Nano Banana Pro, which runs on Gemini 3. Three standout approaches emerged: treating prompts like pseudo‑code with defined variables, explicitly requesting photographic imperfections, and blending multiple perspectives within a single prompt. These methods help the model maintain consistency, add realism, and convey complex spatial information, expanding the creative possibilities for designers and artists using the platform. Leia mais →

OpenAI chief Sam Altman announced an internal "code red" to accelerate improvements to ChatGPT after Google’s Gemini 3 model outperformed OpenAI’s offering on several benchmarks. The memo calls for pausing work on advertising, health‑shopping AI agents, and a personal‑assistant feature called Pulse while increasing daily coordination among teams. The move echoes Google’s own "code red" in 2022 after ChatGPT’s debut. Gemini 3 quickly rose to the top of the LMArena leaderboard and earned public endorsements, including a shift by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who declared he would not return to ChatGPT. Leia mais →
