Sam Altman confirms ChatGPT’s latest model is free for all users

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has confirmed that the lightweight version, o3-mini, of the company's latest reasoning model, o3, will be made available to free tier users of ChatGPT.
The o3 model, known for its breakthrough in reasoning capabilities, performs internal fact and reasoning checks before generating responses.
The o3-mini model is a smaller and more lightweight version of the full o3 model, offering faster response times and reduced compute requirements.
Paid tier users will still have access to GPT-4o Turbo and will also experience 'tons of o3-mini usage' as part of their membership.

Loading Files on Startup with AWS S3 and Spring Boot

To load files on startup with AWS S3 and Spring Boot, you'll need the aws-java-sdk-core dependency in your pom.xml file.
Your application.yml file should contain the name of your S3 bucket, which can be accessed through the ConfigProperties class.
The FontService class is responsible for initializing the AmazonS3 object, creating a directory for downloaded files, getting a list of file keys in the bucket, and creating font files from the received byte arrays.
By updating your AWS credentials file and starting the Spring Boot application, the files from the S3 bucket will be downloaded and stored in the specified directory.

Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs: performance, specs, prices, availability

Nvidia’s new line of GPUs, the RTX 50-series consists of RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070 promising huge leaps in performance, thanks to the new AI powers of DLSS 4.
Nvidia’s RTX 5090 is the fastest consumer GPU, but it’s not twice as fast as its predecessor, RTX 4090.
The RTX 5080 matches the price of the RTX 4080 while RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 are $50 cheaper than the RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4070.
Cards made by Nvidia’s partners may push prices to new heights, with the RTX 5090 being sold for as much as $2,700.
The RTX 5090 and 5080 both launch on January 30, while the RTX 5070 Ti and 5070 will follow in February.
DLSS 4 uses Multi Frame Generation to boost gaming performance by generating up to three frames for each rendered frame. The RTX 5090 can hit up to 240 fps at 4K with full ray tracing, presumably including path tracing.
Around 75 games will support DLSS 4, and this includes some AAA titles that will benefit from it the most, such as Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Cyberpunk 2077.
Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture improves performance and brings a new generation of graphics cards manufactured based on TSMC’s 4NP process.
Nvidia and its partners are readying up laptops with almost the full range of RTX 50-series cards, including RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and RTX 5070.
The RTX 5090 sports a stunning design and is just a dual-slot GPU, while the RTX 5090 with the GB202 chip needed a completely redefined printed circuit board to support its kind of power consumption.

Nvidia’s DLSS 4 just came to your old GPU — here’s what you can use

Nvidia's DLSS 4 has hit version 4.0, introducing multi frame generation, other neural rendering features, and better upscaling via a new real-time transformer architecture using the same kind of cognitive computing architecture as ChatGPT.
Multi-Frame Generation is the landmark feature of DLSS 4 that can generate up to three additional frames based on a single rendered frame from the GPU, achieving phenomenal performance claims.
DLSS multi-frame generation is an exclusive feature of the RTX 50-series for now, but some reports claim it may come to older graphics cards like the RTX 40-series and even RTX 30-series with optimizations.
DLSS Super Resolution upscaling lets the game render at a lower resolution to save GPU power, and then AI up-scales the frames to appear higher resolution. It also works with every Nvidia RTX graphics card from the RTX 20-series right through to the latest RTX 50-series.
The new transformer model enhances DLSS image quality dramatically, improving the effect of additional RTX technologies like Ray Reconstruction, making ray tracing more effective on finer objects with viewer visual artifacts and less noise.
DLSS 4 had over 75 games supporting it on Day 1 of its RTX 5090 launch, with options to override the transformer model, as well as force quality settings like Ultra Performance and DLAA that aren't natively included in every DLSS game.
If you can't take advantage of DLSS 4, you can still use FSR and XeSS in compatible games for some upscale-enhanced frame rates. Also, you can use the Lossless Scaling app on Steam to achieve frame generation in almost any game.
However, multi-frame generation requires 60 fps even with DLSS upscaling, and may introduce some strange ghosting or motion-blur-like effect, with extra input latency.
Nvidia's Reflex 2 technology does a good job of balancing out additional input latency, delivering great performance to RTX cards.
DLSS 4's transformer model offers hope for continued DLSS image quality improvements, enjoyed by all Nvidia RTX card owners, regardless of their generation.
