's ChatGPT with sheer dominance. In a post on X, Carlsen shared the screenshots with the caption, "I sometimes get bored while travelling."
During the exchange with the AI tool, Carlsen won by clearing out the virtual board of the opponents' pawns and not losing a single piece of his own. The tool analysed further, "That was methodical, clean and sharp. Well played!"
In the subsequent interaction, Carlsen asked ChatGPT's 4o model to predict his classical rating strength basis their game. The tool predicted, "If you played like this consistently in longer time controls (classical, not blitz or rapid), I'd estimate your classical strength to be around 1800-2000 FIDE or USCF.
Possibly higher if your opening prep and tactical sharpness hold up under pressure."
Unfortunately, the openAI model was well of base. Carlsen, the top-ranked player in classical, rapid and blitz formats, has a FIDE rating of 2839. In fact the last time the Norwegian was in the range of 2000s in his FIDE Rating, 2072 to be precise, was back in October 2001.
Last year, Carlsen had spoken of openAI's ChatGPT, which captured everyone's attention in November 2022.

'AI was extremely exciting at first because it presented a little bit of a different way to play chess, in more of a hybrid human engine way. But honestly, before you could always tell by the style that these were not humans,' he had said.
'Back in late 2018 and early 2019 … some people, including myself, thought AI tools had a distinct competitive advantage because we were finding out how to use these tools,' he added.
'Over the years, these tools have become better and better, but now they're used by everybody. So it's harder to gain a competitive advantage from it'.

GPT-5 launch today, Sam Altman teases big reveal: How to watch livestream and what to expect
OpenAI is set to go live later today to launch what could be its biggest upgrade yet — ChatGPT-5. The livestream kicks off at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, which translates to 10:30 PM IST, and will be hosted on OpenAI's official YouTube channel. The placeholder for the event is not yet available, but it's expected to appear closer to the start time. People around the world will be tuning in, especially since CEO Sam Altman has teased 'a ton of stuff' set to launch in the coming months, including new models, products, and features. And while GPT-5 is likely the headline act, there may be more in store. The event could also be streamed on OpenAI's X (formerly Twitter) page, based on how the company has handled previous wait for ChatGPT-5 has been longer than expected. The model was delayed multiple times, but now, it looks like the launch is finally happening. OpenAI hasn't confirmed every detail, but several hints and leaks suggest we're looking at a major upgrade over GPT-4. Users can expect big improvements in speed, reasoning abilities, and how well the model can handle different types of input — not just text, but also images, voice, and maybe even Altman has said that GPT-5 marks a significant step forward. The new version is expected to blend all of OpenAI's latest technologies into one smarter and faster model. This means users won't need to switch between different versions or tools to get the best results. The idea is to simply make the AI more natural and easier to use across a wide range of tasks. Another important feature rumoured to be part of ChatGPT-5 is autonomous task handling. Instead of giving the model step-by-step instructions, you might be able to tell it what you need once and let it take care of the rest. This would be a major shift in how AI assistants work, and could make GPT-5 more useful for everything from personal productivity to business also talk of improved memory, which would allow GPT-5 to remember details between conversations and provide more consistent and personalised answers. Developers and regular users alike are also hoping to see upgrades in areas like coding, content generation, and data still unclear whether OpenAI will launch an open-source version or how access will be structured across free and paid tiers on ChatGPT. But whatever gets announced, it's going to be worth tuned to India Today Tech for all the latest on OpenAI's upcoming announcement.- Ends

SoftBank Group posts $2.87 billion net profit in first quarter
TOKYO (Reuters) -Japanese technology investor SoftBank Group logged a net profit of 421.8 billion yen ($2.87 billion) for the April-June quarter. The result compared with a net loss of 174.3 billion yen for the same period a year earlier and the 127.6 billion yen average profit from three analyst estimates compiled by LSEG. The Vision Fund investment unit posted an investment gain of 726.8 billion yen ($4.94 billion). The results mark SoftBank's second consecutive quarter of profit and follow its first annual profit in four years when it was helped by a strong performance by its telecom holdings and higher valuations for its later-stage startups. The results will be welcomed by investors as SoftBank has embarked on its biggest spending spree since the launch of its Vision Funds in 2017 and 2019, this time making mammoth investments in artificial intelligence companies. Investors and analysts are awaiting updates on how these investments will be financed, the timeline for returns to materialise and whether assets will be sold to fund the new projects. SoftBank is leading a $40 billion funding round for ChatGPT maker OpenAI. SoftBank has until the end of the year to fund its $22.5 billion portion, although the remainder has been subscribed, according to a source familiar with the matter. It is also leading the financing for the Stargate project - a $500 billion scheme to develop data centres in the United States, part of its effort to position itself as the "organiser of the industry," founder Masayoshi Son said in June. SoftBank has yet to release details on what kinds of returns its financing of the Stargate project could generate. The extent of third-party investment will determine what other financing tools, such as bank loans and debt issuance, it may have to deploy. In July, SoftBank raised $4.8 billion by selling off a portion of its holding in T-Mobile.
