Open AI has released their next set of models, o4-mini and o3. o3-pro is supposedly in the works for professional users, as well (will be expensive).

Performance based on bench marks so far is around Gemini 2.5 pro level, and Open AI released after Google so technically they've fallen behind unless o3-pro is significantly better. o4-mini is just as cheap as Gemini 2.5 pro, but performs slightly worse.

But we really need some Chinese releases now to balance things out, the US is pulling ahead as a group again and Google seems to be really heating up the competition (as I expected); fortunately that should be happening in the next few weeks with Qwen 3 and Deep Seek R2.

In other news, the US Select Committee is moving against Deep Seek (still scared it seems):

Recent moves to block H20 and Open AI requiring government ids for access to its developer APIs seem directly tied to the effort to block / slow down DeepSeek and Chinese AI in general. There is now also talk of sanctioning DeepSeek and blocking US users' access to DeepSeek services altogether.
Reason China should have focused in their own operating system and software long-ago. Can't be relying entirely on American tech companies for access to the world this include systems like Android, IOS, Windows, or even using social media sites like YouTube/twitter etc for access/interact with the world. China will need to expand her own service industry globally they can't just limit themselves on the Chinese Market and think that's enough, except the want to give up on world markets in this sectors. If US bans Chinese companies from accessing their services then this companies will be cut off entirely from world markets. Shows how dependent they have made themselves on US technology for global access, it would have been alright if China was an ally but they are not, in fact it is the opposite. So they should be ready for thud.
