OpenAI rolls out o3-pro for ChatGPT Pro and Team users: What's new and how it compares to the older models
OpenAI has officially launched o3-pro, a new artificial intelligence model the company is hailing as its most advanced to date. The latest addition to the o3 family is now available to ChatGPT Pro and Team subscribers, with rollouts for Enterprise and educational users expected in the coming days.
The o3-pro model, designed to handle complex reasoning tasks with greater precision, is intended to enhance performance across a range of professional fields, including science, education, mathematics, programming, and writing. OpenAI says the model surpasses its predecessor, o1-pro, in multiple domains—both in internal evaluations and user preference tests.
In a statement, OpenAI confirmed that o3-pro will also be accessible via its API. The company has set the pricing at $20 per million input tokens and $80 per million output tokens. The announcement follows a recent 80 per cent cost reduction in o3 token usage, a move aimed at broadening access to the platform's latest capabilities.
According to internal testing by OpenAI, human reviewers consistently favoured o3-pro over previous models. It was preferred in 66.7 per cent of personal writing evaluations and in 62.7 per cent of coding tasks. Reviewers also rated it higher in areas such as clarity, adherence to instructions, and the depth of its responses.
The model is equipped with advanced tools that allow it to perform more sophisticated tasks, including web browsing, data file analysis, Python code execution, and visual reasoning. It also makes use of user memory for more tailored interactions. However, these functionalities can result in slightly longer response times compared to earlier models—a trade-off OpenAI suggests is worthwhile for users prioritising accuracy over speed.
Despite the advancements, the company acknowledges a few current limitations. The model does not support image generation, and temporary chats within ChatGPT are currently disabled due to a technical issue. Moreover, the Canvas workspace feature remains unavailable when using o3-pro.
OpenAI says o3-pro has demonstrated strong results in internal benchmark assessments, though comprehensive comparisons with rival AI models have not yet been published.

Google appoints chief AI architect: What CEO Sundar Pichai said in internal memo
Google has reportedly restructured its leadership, appointing Koray Kavukcuoglu, Google DeepMind 's chief technology officer (CTO), as its new Chief AI Architect. With this newly-created appointment, Google aims to accelerate integrating artificial intelligence (AI) across its vast product ecosystem, with Kavukcuoglu reporting directly to company CEO Sundar Pichai. According to a report by Semafor, Pichai sent an internal memo, outlining Kavukcuoglu's appointment as Senior Vice President to "accelerate how we bring our world-leading models into our products, with the goal of more seamless integration, faster iteration, and greater efficiency." As a part of this restructuring, Kavukcuoglu will also relocate from London to Google's Mountain View headquarters. This comes as Google intensifies its efforts to monetise its advanced AI capabilities, primarily developed within the DeepMind unit, which has been increasingly integrated into the broader Google organisation since 2023, CNBC said. 'We're entering a new phase of the AI platform shift. It will require us to also shift into a new gear as a company to ensure our products are evolving just as quickly as our models,' Pichai wrote in the memo. Google restructured leadership in April also In April, Google reportedly moved Josh Woodward, head of Google Labs, to lead Gemini. He oversaw the development of NotebookLM, which turns text into a podcast-like show and is one of the company's successful AI products. Google had also announced in February $75 billion investment into AI infrastructure this year, concurrently implementing cost-cutting measures across various divisions, including recent buyout offers to employees in its Search and advertising units, CNBC reported. This investment mirrors similar strategies by other tech giants like Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and leading AI startups such as OpenAI, whose ChatGPT ignited the generative AI era in late 2022.

The Browser Company launches AI-first browser Dia in beta
The Browser Company has released its AI-powered web browser Dia in beta, marking a dramatic shift from traditional browsing toward artificial intelligence integration . The new browser positions AI as its core feature, allowing users to interact with an intelligent assistant directly through the address bar without visiting separate AI platforms like ChatGPT or Claude. Dia's standout capability lies in its seamless integration of AI functionality into everyday browsing tasks. Users can query information across all open tabs, generate drafts based on tab content, and receive web summaries through a built-in chatbot. The browser's address bar serves triple duty, handling website navigation, search queries, and AI interactions automatically based on user input. The launch comes after The Browser Company discontinued development of Arc browser last year, acknowledging that while Arc gained enthusiast popularity, its steep learning curve prevented mass adoption. CEO Josh Miller recognized that users increasingly rely on AI tools for various tasks, prompting the company to reimagine browsing entirely around artificial intelligence. Built on Google's open-source Chromium project, Dia maintains familiar browser functionality while adding advanced AI features. The "History" feature allows the AI to reference seven days of browsing data for contextual responses, while "Skills" enables users to create code snippets for customized shortcuts and layouts. Although AI integration in browsers isn't entirely new, Opera and Google Chrome offer similar features, Dia distinguishes itself by making artificial intelligence the central experience rather than an add-on feature. Current Arc users receive immediate access to Dia beta, with invitation privileges for other users. Interested users can join the waiting list through The Browser Company's website as the company prepares for broader public release. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Bhavish Aggarwal's Krutrim launches AI assistant Kruti for daily tasks
Krutrim, the artificial intelligence startup co-founded by Ola founder Bhavish Aggarwal, on Thursday launched Kruti, an AI assistant it says represents a leap beyond conventional chatbots. Unlike earlier tools focused on passive text replies, Kruti is positioned as an 'agentic AI'—designed to proactively carry out tasks such as cab booking, food ordering, bill payments, image generation and research. The launch builds on Krutrim's earlier public beta and introduces a redesigned interface with a focus on advanced reasoning and personalisation. 'Kruti is the first real step towards the future of AI where technology doesn't just talk back, but actually helps you get things done,' said Bhavish Aggarwal, founder of Krutrim. 'We have built Kruti to work the way Indians live: multilingual, mobile-first and intuitive.' The platform also includes features such as read-aloud responses and free access to premium AI capabilities like research and image creation. The company said Kruti aims to make advanced AI more accessible to Indian users by combining broad functionality with local context. Kruti understands both voice and text input, remembers past interactions and tailors responses in tone, length and language, including 13 Indian languages. Whether it's 'book me a cab to the airport' or 'order my usual lunch', Kruti understands intent and executes the task without micromanagement. Krutrim said Kruti is powered by its latest large language model, Krutrim V2, alongside cutting-edge open-source systems, enabling scalable and cost-efficient performance tailored for Indian users. Personalisation is at the heart of Kruti's design. It learns user preferences, adapts to usage over time and integrates with various apps and services to deliver context-aware assistance with minimal effort. Kruti also includes a fully embeddable software development kit (SDK), allowing developers to integrate large language model orchestration, memory handling and tool execution with minimal code. By offering features such as research tools, image generation and task-based agents at no cost, the company is positioning Kruti as a more accessible and affordable alternative in the AI space. Built with human-centred design, Kruti aims to eliminate app-switch fatigue and formats responses for clarity using summaries, tables and stories. It reflects how Indians use and relate to technology in everyday life. Krutrim is part of a growing ecosystem of Indian companies building AI solutions, often with a focus on local languages and data. In the Indian context, it competes with global AI giants such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, as well as local players such as Sarvam AI and Earlier this year, Bhavish Aggarwal announced an investment of ₹2,000 crore in Krutrim, with a commitment to invest an additional ₹10,000 crore by next year. The company also launched the Krutrim AI Lab, published several technical reports and released some of its work to the open-source community. The move followed DeepSeek's decision to open-source its own generative AI (GenAI) model. BharatGPT Mini enters the fray On Thursday, CoRover, a conversational AI firm, also launched BharatGPT Mini, a compact small language model (SLM) designed for use in low-compute and infrastructure-constrained settings. Trained on the company's proprietary conversational dataset, the 534-million parameter model supports text-based tasks in 14 Indian languages, aiming to expand AI access across underserved regions. The model is optimised for edge and server implementations, enabling seamless AI performance on low-end devices. This strategic development addresses the growing demand in India for cost-effective, fast and privacy-centric AI solutions that operate without reliance on high-end cloud infrastructure. CoRover said India's need for SLMs is accelerating, driven by demand for faster, localised and cost-efficient AI tools that maintain data privacy. While large language models (LLMs) remain essential for complex, multi-domain tasks, SLMs are increasingly preferred for their domain specificity, speed, offline functionality and ease of integration on constrained devices.
