6. Grok 3.5 is not your typical AI Chatbot
Elon Musk’s xAI is set to launch Grok 3.5, and it’s not your typical chatbot update. This new version focuses on first-principles reasoning, aiming to answer questions that don’t have clear answers on the web.
Grok 3.5 is designed for deeper search results and not just surface-level search.
Moreover, the model is noted explicitly for being sharp in technical fields like electrochemistry and rocket science, and will first roll out to SuperGrok subscribers.
7. DeepSeek-Prover: AI that Understands Mathematics
DeepSeek has released DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B, a powerful AI model designed to solve formal mathematical proofs using the Lean 4 framework.
This AI model breaks down complex theorems into smaller parts—a method called subgoal decomposition, just like real mathematicians do.
Trained with synthetic data and reinforcement learning, it performs impressively on the MiniF2F benchmark.
Most importantly, DeepSeek’s open-source on Hugging Face and free availability via OpenRouter marks a major step forward in AI-driven formal mathematics.
8. Perplexity Expands to iOS
Perplexity’s AI assistant is now available on iPhones, making it easy to multitask using just your voice. Whether you want to book a ride, make a reservation, write an email, or set a reminder, it can handle it across apps like Mail, Calendar, Uber, and OpenTable.
It keeps working even when you switch apps, though it can’t use the iPhone’s camera or change alarms. Some tasks, like confirming reservations, still need you to finish manually. Despite these limits, it’s a handy assistant for iOS users.
