He criticized OpenAI’s shift from its nonprofit mission, highlighted recent AI errors, and called for robust governance, transparent pipelines, and interdisciplinary research to align AI with these values.

DeepSeek has rapidly upgraded its R1 model to DeepSeek-R1-0528, achieving better performance across benchmarks and closing the gap with leading AI models. The new model has been quickly integrated into various products, demonstrating its immediate value. This enhanced version also significantly reduces “hallucinations,” improving reliability in areas like summarization and comprehension by an estimated 45-50%.
