Silicon Valley Is Pricing Academics Out of AI Research
Stanford University's Fei-Fei Li, an ACM Fellow known as the "godmother of AI," pressed President Joe Biden, following his State of the Union address, to fund a national warehouse of computing power and datasets to ensure the nation's leading AI researchers can keep pace with big tech firms. Said Li, "The public sector is now significantly lagging in resources and talent compared to that of industry. This will have profound consequences because industry is focused on developing technology that is profit-driven, whereas public sector AI goals are focused on creating public goods.".

From Open AI: Introducing OpenAI o1-preview A new series of reasoning models for solving hard problems. We've developed a new series of AI models designed to spend more time thinking before they respond. They can reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems than previous models in science, coding, and math. Today, we are releasing the first of this series in ChatGPT and our API. This is a preview and we expect regular updates and improvements. Alongside this release, we’re also including evaluations for the next update, currently in development.
