OpenAI 的三则动态：新推理模型 o3 亮相、GPT-5 训练遇阻、负责搜索的新高管 离职。 周末，OpenAI 结束了为期 12 天的发布活动，压轴产品是推理大模型 o3，在顶尖的编程竞赛 CodeForces 中，得分可以排进前 200，达到顶级程序员的水平；在专门测试通用人工智能（AGI） 的基准中，o3 得分最高达到 87.5%，而 9 月发布的 o1 得分不到 50% 等。OpenAI 并没有解释为什 么 o3 性能有提升，但有一点比较明确：高性能计算模式下， o3 完成一个任务花费数千美元。不过 o3 还是一个期货。 据媒体报道，OpenAI 训练下一代模型 GPT-5（代号 Orion）远落后进度。目前 OpenAI 训练 GPT-5 已经 18 个月，从头训练了两次，每次预估花费 5 亿美元，但是性能提升远不及预期。OpenAI 希望 GPT-5 能达到博士生水平。问题在于 OpenAI 难以找到优质数据继续训练模型，他们选择用人直接 编写数据，但效率低下，并尝试用大模型生成数据，但质量难以保证。 据媒体报道，OpenAI 今年 5 月从 Google 挖来的高管希瓦库马尔·文卡塔拉曼（S ...

Core Viewpoint - The potential merger between Nissan and Honda could lead to significant challenges for Nissan, as it may become the "victim of cost-cutting carnage" due to a lack of complementarity between the two companies [1][8]. Group 1: Merger Details - A proposed $54 billion merger between Nissan and Honda would position the combined entity as the world's third-largest automaker by vehicle sales, surpassing Hyundai [2]. - The merger is seen as a response to the high development costs associated with electric vehicles and autonomous driving technology, indicating a trend of consolidation in the automotive industry [2]. - The merger discussions began earlier this month, with both companies confirming the start of talks for business integration [11]. Group 2: Financial Implications - Executives from both companies believe that a merger would enable them to share resources and intelligence necessary for competing in the EV market, potentially boosting long-term operating profit to 3 trillion yen ($19.1 billion) [12]. - Honda's market capitalization is approximately four times that of Nissan, which raises concerns about the balance of power in the new entity, with Honda likely nominating most board members [11]. Group 3: Strategic Challenges - Former Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn expressed skepticism about Nissan's ability to successfully turn around its operations, suggesting that the merger indicates Nissan is in "panic mode" [4][14]. - There are uncertainties regarding how the merged entity will achieve its long-term vision, with analysts highlighting the need for effective post-merger integration [5][16]. - The success of the merger is contingent upon Nissan's ability to execute its turnaround program, as failure to do so could jeopardize the merger [16].
