AI Film Festival: Submissions are open The third annual AI Film Festival returns this spring to New York and LA to celebrate artists at the forefront of film and technology. This year's festival is proudly presented in part by Tribeca Festival, IMAX, The Gotham, .monks, NVIDIA, Goldman Sachs and the American Cinema Editors.
Submissions are free and open until March 31st. Films must be between 1-10 minutes long and are category agnostic. Ten finalists will be selected and showcased at gala screenings in NYC and LA with over $60,000 in awards. https://aiff.runwayml.com/

We’re releasing a research preview of GPT‑4.5—our largest and best model for chat yet. GPT‑4.5 is a step forward in scaling up pre-training and post-training. By scaling unsupervised learning, GPT‑4.5 improves its ability to recognize patterns, draw connections, and generate creative insights without reasoning.

Official Statement: Today we’re excited to announce `gpt-4.5-preview`, our largest model yet, as a research preview. It has deeper world knowledge, with a better understanding of user intent. GPT-4.5 is designed for more natural conversation. It excels at tasks requiring creativity, empathy, and broad general knowledge, including writing help, coaching, brainstorming, and nuanced communication. We’ve also seen it perform well at agentic planning and execution. Get started with GPT-4.5 in the API GPT-4.5 supports function calling, Structured Outputs, vision, streaming, system messages, evals, and prompt caching. It’s available via our Chat Completions, Assistants, and Batch APIs today. GPT-4.5 is very large and compute-intensive, so it’s not a replacement for GPT-4o. A typical query costs on average $68 / 1M tokens, with cache discounts ($75 / 1M input tokens, $37.5 /1M cached input, $150 / 1M output). Batch jobs are discounted 50% and cached input is discounted 50%. We’re evaluating whether to continue serving it in the API long-term as we balance supporting current capabilities with building future models. If GPT-4.5 plays a unique role for your use-case, let us know. Follow the links below to read more ... https://platform.openai.com/docs/models#gpt-4-5 https://openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-4-5/

https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/25/google-launches-a-free-ai-coding-assistant-with-very-high-usage-caps/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email On Tuesday, Google introduced a new, free consumer version of its AI code completion and assistance tool, Gemini Code Assist, which the company calls Gemini Code Assist for individuals. The company also rolled out Gemini Code Assist for GitHub, a code review “agent” designed to automatically look for bugs in code and offer suggestions directly within GitHub. Code Assist for individuals lets developers use a chat window to talk in natural language with a Google AI model that can access and edit their codebase. Much like GitHub’s popular Copilot tool, Gemini Code Assist for individuals can fix bugs, complete sections of code, or explain parts of the codebase that don’t make sense.

Texsted out Proxy AI and here is my frank observation: - Idea is amazing and various influencers compared it to the OpenAI operator - It shows the steps it takes and it seems reasonable to make scheduled processes (Automations) - offers Scheduled Automations which are amazing - It sticks to the 5 sessions a day strictly regardless if the AI gets stuck or prematurely exits/finishes task whether it was done correct or not - AI agent can get stuck browsing a single page for all steps unti it exhausts max number of steps allowed per session (you may have to mentione in prompt AI should not visit/research same page more than once) - there are roughly 38- 40 steps per session and if your agent is not able to complete tasks withing those allocated session stops and you have to start entirely new session (for trial accounts only of course) Overall this does seem worth the $20 tag particularly for the automations and templates available.
