[Product Hunt]( Thursday, September 12 Daily Digest [This newsletter was brought to you by]( TOP NEWS Happy Friday! Remember the rumored new AI model from OpenAI that was nicknamed Strawberry? Well, it’s here, and it’s a pretty huge update. But before I get to that… Here are the headlines: 🎙️ [Oprah hosted an AI special with Sam Altman and Bill Gates.]( 🪫 [Cohost, the would be X rival is running out of money and shutting down.]( 🔈 [The FDA has given its seal of approval to Apple’s Hearing Aid feature.]( [OpenAI just released its first model with human-like reasoning abilities]( [OpenAI just unveiled o1](, kicking off a new series of "reasoning" models designed to tackle complex questions faster than we can. They've also launched o1-mini, a smaller and more budget-friendly version. And yes, if you've been following AI buzz, this is the much-hyped Strawberry model everyone's been talking about. This release is a big step toward OpenAI's goal of human-like artificial intelligence. Simply put, [o1]( outperforms previous models in writing code and solving tricky problems. But here's the catch: it's pricier and a bit slower than GPT-4o, so OpenAI is calling it a "preview" to highlight that it's still in the early days. What's really interesting is [how o1 was trained](. Instead of just mimicking patterns from data, it uses reinforcement learning—learning through rewards and penalties—to figure things out on its own. It thinks in a "chain of thought," much like we do when solving problems step by step. OpenAI says it's more accurate and hallucinates less, though it's not perfect yet. [This also makes for some great memes](. The standout feature? o1 tackles complex tasks like coding and math while explaining its reasoning. Ideally, this should make it more accurate. While I was playing around with the model this morning, I did notice a lot fewer hallucinations. It's a promising leap forward in AI, even if it's still ironing out some wrinkles and comes with a heftier price tag.
