BAD AI: Truth Musk

Elon's new and improved Large Language Model Grok 3 had a case of "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" when it censored unflattering mentions of Musk and Trump recently.

​

Users briefly saw the instructions Grok used in Deep Research mode (which lets you see the AI's 'thinking' steps). Blimey. What other orders might be hidden within?

​

  • Will it avoid queries about this Tesla parody advert?
  • Will it hide this hilarious early piece with Musk?
  • Will it avoid showing where to by nuclear-fallout-orange hair dye?

​

Who knows. What we do know is those instructions then vanished overnight like a federal deficit. The truth is out there. Probably.


 

AI MODELS: Claude 3.7 Sonnet

Anthropic has launched Claude 3.7 Sonnet, an upgraded AI model with 'hybrid reasoning' - which lets users switch between quick responses and deeper, step-by-step analysis.

​

It’s hot on the heels of other integrated reasoning models from the big players - with OpenAI, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek all having launched or announced deeper thinking capabilities recently.

​

Key points

  • Cost of Using: → 3.7 is free (with limits) while 'extended thinking' mode comes bundled with Pro for $20 a month currently.
  • No Live Search:  No out-of-the-box web search (yet) on 3.7 but it has a knowledge data cut-off of October 2024. So reasonably recent.
  • AI That Thinks in Layers: → The new model balances speed with depth, allowing users to toggle between fast answers and in-depth reasoning.
  • Dev Tools → Anthropic is also testing Claude Code, a command-line tool that hands off bigger engineering tasks to AI.

​

Context

Claude 3.7 Sonnet is part of an AI evolution toward adaptable intelligence. Along with the other big LLM moves towards integration, we're seeing the beginnings of 'the everything AI' era.

​

For businesses, there's more choice and lowering costs and growing adoption. The next frontier? making the right model(s) work in sync with your systems and workflow.

AI MADE SIMPLE: Open AI Deep Research

OpenAI has rolled out its own Deep Research 'thinking' tool to all paying ChatGPT users, making advanced research capabilities more accessible.

​

Key Updates:

  • How to Access: It's now on the main toolbar. Enter a query, and the tool will prompt follow-up questions before spending 5 to 30 minutes analysing the topic and generating a detailed report.
  • Subscription Limits: Lower-tier users (Plus, Team, Edu) receive 10 queries per month, while Pro users get 120 queries.
  • Enhanced Features: The tool now supports embedding images with citations in reports and improved handling of uploaded files, making research outputs more comprehensive.
  • Humour: I got an 'I'm breaking out in a sweat looking at this 44mb file' message in the sidebar during the research. Nice touch.

​

What This Means:

The expansion of research (and agentic-style task completion) brings decent analysis options to a wider audience. As AI tools take on more of the heavy lifting, human oversight remains important though.

​

Source credibility checks and maintaining critical thinking will need to be done by actual people to use these tools effectively.
