Next ChatGPT upgrade imminent following ‘code red’ declaration

Earlier this week, it was reported that OpenAI was in a bit of a tizzy over the current state of Google’s Gemini generative AI model. A so-called “code red” declaration was made, which will reportedly result in the next upgrade to ChatGPT arriving sooner than expected.

OpenAI shipped its major model upgrade , GPT-5, on August 7. The model improved the user experience by automatically routing queries to the current sub-models for quick responses or deeper answers.

On November 12, OpenAI

(PR) AMD Instinct MI355X Drives Competitive Performance, Ideal for Optimized LLM Workloads

AI training workloads are pushing the limits of modern GPU architectures. With the release of AMD ROCm 7.0 software, AMD is raising the bar for high-performance training by delivering optimized support for LLM workloads across the JAX and PyTorch frameworks. The latest v25.9 Training Dockers demonstrate exceptional scaling efficiency for both single-node and multi-node setups, empowering researchers and developers to push model sizes and complexity further than ever.

By integrating Primus, a unified and flexible LLM training framework, the PyTorch training

(PR) Top 10 Most Intelligent Open-source Models Run 10x Faster on NVIDIA Blackwell NVL72

A look under the hood of virtually any frontier model today will reveal a mixture-of-experts (MoE) model architecture that mimics the efficiency of the human brain. Just as the brain activates specific regions based on the task, MoE models divide work among specialized "experts," activating only the relevant ones for every AI token. This results in faster, more efficient token generation without a proportional increase in compute. The industry has already recognized this advantage. On the independent Artificial Analysis (AA) leaderboard, the

NVIDIA Shatters MoE AI Performance Records With a Massive 10x Leap on GB200 ‘Blackwell’ NVL72 Servers, Fueled by Co-Design Breakthroughs

Scaling performance on 'Mixture of Experts' AI models is one of the biggest industry constraints, but it appears that NVIDIA has managed to make a breakthrough, credited to co-design performance scaling laws.

The AI world has been racing to scale up foundational LLMs by ramping up token parameters and ensuring that their models excel in performance and applications, but with this approach, there's a limit to the compute resources companies can invest in their AI models. Now here, 'Mixture of Experts' frontier AI models come
