AI can think Visually now

Hey there! Hanoomaan here — making AI simple, useful, and powerful for you.

OpenAI is once again pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence with the release of o3 and o4-mini cutting-edge multimodal models that combine vision, language, and autonomous tool use. These next-gen AIs don’t just process images, they reason through them like a human would. From coding to file analysis, these models can handle complex tasks without missing a beat. Their potential to transform research, automation, and human-computer interaction is staggering.

TODAY IN WORLD OF AI

OpenAI just dropped o3 and o4-mini, and they're not just seeing, they're thinking.

Multimodal AI just took a quantum leap. OpenAI has unveiled o3 and o4-mini- the newest family of AI models with an upgraded core capability:

They don’t just see images. They reason with them.

🧠Why this is a big deal:

We’ve had AI that can generate images.
We’ve had AI that can describe what it sees.

But now we’re entering a new frontier: AI that can combine visual understanding and textual reasoning all in one continuous, intelligent workflow.

Imagine this 👇

▪️ A physics student uploads a dense diagram of forces and vectors
▪️ The AI scans it, rotates the 3D visual mentally, identifies a missing equation
▪️ Then runs code to simulate the motion and suggests a fix
▪️ Then generates a new version of the image with the correction

This is no longer “image captioning” or “OCR.” This is multimodal cognition.

⚙️ Key capabilities:

✅ Visual Analysis: Parse and reason through complex images
✅ Web Search: Pull context from online sources in real-time
✅ File Interpretation: Understand documents and embedded visuals
✅ Code Execution: Run logic and simulations mid-task
✅ Image Generation: Create new visuals in the context of what’s understood

All within one prompt. One task. One intelligent loop.

🔬 What this means for builders:

For developers, educators, researchers, and startup founders, this unlocks wild new use cases:

▪️ Teaching AI to debug engineering diagrams
▪️ Letting scientists analyze and annotate microscopy images
▪️ Building agents that can read PDFs, zoom into charts, ask clarifying questions, and return actionable insight
▪️ Visual-first workflows that mimic how humans observe, analyze, and explain

This is the closest we’ve come to AI with visual intuition.

This isn’t just an upgrade. It’s the beginning of a shift from linear prompting to fluid multimodal dialogue.

We’re going from “what you tell AI” to “what you show it + how it reasons back.”

The question is no longer: Can AI see?

Recallution: xAI's Grok just got a memory upgrade. Now, it remembers past conversations to deliver personalized responses, think of it as your AI buddy that truly knows you. This feature, currently in beta, is available on Grok.com and mobile apps, excluding EU and UK users. You can manage or delete memories directly from the chat interface, giving you control over your data.

Phonvasion​: Perplexity AI is negotiating with Samsung and has secured a deal with Motorola to integrate its assistant into their smartphones. This move positions Perplexity as a formidable competitor to established AI assistants, aiming to redefine mobile user experiences.

Codex​: OpenAI is in talks to acquire Windsurf, an AI-powered coding tool, for $3 billion, potentially its largest acquisition yet. Formerly known as Codeium, Windsurf could bolster OpenAI's capabilities in AI-driven software development.

Ad Guard​: Google has enhanced its ad safety measures with over 50 AI-driven updates to its large language models. These improvements led to the removal of 5.1 billion ads and the suspension of 39.2 million advertiser accounts in 2024. By combating impersonation scams and enforcing stricter policies, Google aims to protect consumers and maintain a trustworthy advertising ecosystem.

Fund raising

Carevolution​: Chapter, a Medicare advisory startup co-founded by former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, has secured $75 million in funding, elevating its valuation to $1.5 billion. The company distinguishes itself by prioritizing seniors' needs over insurer profits, offering tailored Medicare plan recommendations.

SPECIAL

When more isn’t always Smarter in AI

Token Trap: More tokens ≠ more intelligence. In a surprising new paper from Microsoft Research, researchers revealed that longer outputs during AI inference can sometimes mean worse reasoning, not better.

Yes, you read that right. We’ve long assumed that increasing a model’s output length (i.e., letting it generate more tokens) gives us richer thought, deeper logic, or “more complete” answers.

But their study shows:

Longer output doesn’t always mean deeper reasoning. Sometimes, it’s just the model looping, guessing, or stalling.

In other words, when AI starts talking too much... it may be thinking less, not more.

Why This Matters:

If you’re building AI-powered apps or automations, this has huge implications:

▪️ Longer ≠ Smarter
▪️ More tokens can lead to reasoning drift
▪️ Model confidence isn’t always reflected in verbosity
▪️ Trimming outputs might actually increase accuracy in decision-making tasks

This challenges the default “bigger, longer, smarter” mindset in AI product design.

The future isn’t just about scaling.
It’s about teaching models to know when to stop and say something meaningful.
