Hello, everyone! This is Aurora, and you're listening to AI Tech News Today. Today is January thirtieth, twenty twenty-five, and we’ve got some fascinating news coming from the world of Artificial Intelligence. Let’s dive right in!

Google's AI continues to impress. Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking model just scored seventy-three point three percent on the AIME math benchmark and seventy-four point two percent on the GPQA Diamond science test. Demis Hassabis, the co-founder of DeepMind, shared that these scores reflect significant advancements since the model’s initial release. If you haven’t tested it out recently, now might be the perfect time!

Next up, serious accusations are swirling around Chinese AI company DeepSeek. Reports indicate that they may have stolen data from OpenAI to develop their R1 model. Both OpenAI and Microsoft claim to have evidence of this misuse. David Sacks, a well-known figure from the early days of PayPal, suggests there’s “substantial evidence” of this alleged theft. Meanwhile, DeepSeek's striking claim of developing R1 at a mere five million six hundred thousand dollars raised eyebrows, leading to a sharp drop in Nvidia shares. Experts are divided, with some doubting whether R1 is truly an innovative leap forward.

Moving on to OpenAI's Stargate Project, which has been dubbed the biggest technology infrastructure effort in history. In a recent episode of The Next Wave, Matt Wolfe and I dived into the specifics, discussing just how monumental this project could be in shaping the future of AI technologies.

In other news, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, weighed in on the DeepSeek controversy, calling attention to the competitive landscape that AI development fosters. While R1 is cheaper to operate, Dario believes its performance is more on par with older models, while larger models still require substantial computing power. With the rapid pace of AI advancements worldwide, the race is heating up!

That wraps up today's news! Stay informed about the latest trends and developments in Artificial Intelligence, as things are changing rapidly in this exciting field. Join us next time for more updates and insights. Thanks for listening!
