o3-pro discounts, weather forecasts & more (June 11, 2025)

👋 Hey there,

OpenAI’s cutting prices, Mistral is moving fast, Nvidia is forecasting the next 30 years of weather and Grok is predicting the crypto markets. Also, Sam Altman says the singularity’s here…but gently. Let’s unpack this beautiful madness.

🧠 Frontier Models & Bold Claims

🪙 OpenAI’s o3-pro Drops with 80% Price Cut

OpenAI launched its newest model, o3-pro, designed to “think longer” and perform better on tough tasks like PhD-level math and science. Early testers say it feels “much smarter,” and with the massive price drop, it’s suddenly way more accessible to devs.

🧬 Mistral Releases Magistral

Mistral dropped its first reasoning models, Magistral Medium and an open-weight 24B version. They can reason across multiple languages and run up to 10x faster than rivals, even if they still lag a bit behind Claude and Gemini in STEM tasks.

☄️ Sam Altman Says “Takeoff Has Started”

In a new blog post, OpenAI’s CEO calls this the “gentle singularity,” where intelligence grows exponentially but society adjusts in stride. He predicts AI will make new scientific discoveries by 2026, real-world robots by 2027, and that energy and intelligence will soon become nearly free.

🔮 Predictions & Personalization

🌀 Nvidia’s “Climate in a Bottle” AI

Nvidia just unveiled a new model that can predict weather conditions anywhere on Earth, down to the kilometer and up to 30 years into the future. Think of it as the crystal ball for climate science, and an eerie flex of GPU power.

🎯 Grok Goes Predictive with Polymarket

xAI just teamed up with Polymarket, the crypto-powered prediction market platform, to inject real-time forecasting into its chatbot. Think of it as your AI assistant with a crystal ball (and a financial stake in being right).

🌐 Yutori’s Agent Swarms

Ex-Meta researchers launched a platform that sends AI swarms to track whatever you care about: news, real estate, sports, even tennis courts. Like having a digital chief-of-staff.
