• OpenAI has confirmed its new ChatGPT Pro plan which includes the o1 "reasoning model" which produces 34% less bullshit than regular ChatGPT but is somehow worse than the 01 preview version.  (Tech Crunch)

  It all comes down to price, and we have no idea what the price will be.
  
  
  
• A look at Broadcom's XDSiP with face-to-face 3.5D for upcoming XPUs.  (Serve the Home)
