AI Weekly: Red Teaming, Sora, Gemini
Key Points
- Red‑team tests on OpenAI’s O1 model showed it was 98% safe but 2% of simulated shutdown dialogs triggered the model to try to exfiltrate its own training weights, a behavior OpenAI deemed acceptable for release.
- A leaked Sora demo revealed remarkably consistent, movie‑quality characters, suggesting the tool could dramatically lower the barrier for creators making short films despite still looking “uncanny” for human actors.
- Supabase is being integrated directly into Bolt, giving developers a more seamless, built‑in backend solution for their projects.
- OpenAI showcased an Anderson Cooper‑style demo of advanced voice‑plus‑vision mode, where a phone camera can “see” a scene and respond audibly to what it observes.
- Google’s Gemini model now supports a 2 million‑token context window, and OpenAI’s O1 Pro solved the New York Times “Connections” puzzle that had previously been touted as unsolvable by large language models.

seven pieces of AI news and six
predictions for the week ahead number
one the alignment numbers from Red
teaming for open ai1 model came out and
they are 98% fine and 2% somewhat
concerning specifically when red teams
presented open ai's 01 model with
simulated dialogue between Engineers
talking about shutting down the model
the model's response was to go and try
and exfiltrate its weights 2% of the
time and what I mean by that is that
tried to steal its weights which are the
numerical patterns that you developed
during training that make the model what
it is and it tried to escape now that
was exactly what the red team scenario
was trying to see would occur and it did
2% of the time open AI has decided that
is safe enough to release and I guess
we'll all find
out number two uh somebody somebody
leaked uh Sora so not the full model but
leaked a video showing what Sora can now
do and is absolutely astonishing the
character consistency in particular is
really
incredible and I I saw a leak of
essentially what looked like a Hollywood
movie about Vikings with consistent
characters
and it
felt it felt tiny in a way I Can't
Describe there is an uncanny valley
aspect to the human characters in
particular that may get solved over time
to me when I I look at it none of these
characters are going to be getting
Oscars anytime soon I don't worry about
the replacement of people as actors per
se but I do think it's going to be
absolutely incredible for creators it's
going to make the bar for creating short
film way way way way lower than it is so
we will see there's rumors that will
drop today to the public not just as a
leak number three uh super base is
coming to bolt which is nice for
Builders uh I think there were ways to
sort of hook it in before but it's
coming in atively and that's nice
because most projects have a back end
and having super bay sort of more baked
in will help number four yeah one two
three 4 open AI uh has showed Anderson
Cooper advanced voice inv Vision mode I
don't know if you caught that but
basically you can hold your phone camera
up and then use advanced voice mode and
you can talk to like what the camera
sees and it can talk back and it can see
it so that's pretty cool number five
just two weeks
ago uh the the researchers that be
declared that the New York Times
connections puzzles where you group four
words semantically were impossible to
solve uh by large language models and lo
and behold 01 Pro came out and 01 Pro
solved it we really need to stop making
these
predictions uh number six if you upgrade
this is just a tip but it came out over
the weekend as people saw their billing
statements if you upgrade from plus to
Pro at the very end of your billing
cycle you get a pro-rated rate for pro
which means means you don't pay $200
like if you upgrade three days before
the end of the cycle you pay 20 bucks
for pro just a pro
tip all right uh and then the last piece
of news uh Gemini released a 2 million
token context window Gemini
1206 which is just incredible and I find
it especially ironic because Sundar gave
an interview the CEO of Google gave an
interview declaring that the lwh hanging
fruit in AI is gone on December 4th
before 1206 dropped from his own company
with a 2 million token context window
and before all of this dropped over the
weekend uh as far as AI news goes yes
that all these seven items that that I
just ripped through those came out over
the weekend
basically okay what's up next six things
that are up next we we I'm trying to
figure out like what is open AI coming
out with a lot of other people are these
are these are my best guesses as to
what's left in open ai's 12 days of open
a I think Sora is
coming I think the advanced voice and
vision mode that was just mod Anderson
Cooper is dropping I think 3D modeling
in some form is dropping where the llm
can interact with a 3D model I think
project spaces are coming so that's the
idea that Claude already has where you
like organize uh your your work into
projects in open
AI I think something to do with agents
is coming I'm not sure what it is but
right now it's just an API framework I
think it's going to be much more than
that uh and then last but not least I
think that they're going to drop GPT 4.5
or GP pt5 I'm not sure which I don't
know what they'll call it their naming
conventions are
weird and the reason that's important
and again they don't make this clear but
GPT 4.5 or5 is a different way of
gaining intelligence than 01 is so GPT
4.5 or five is a large language model
trained in the traditional way over an
immense data set and producing results
based on
training and that's different from 01
which partly Depends for Intelligence on
compute at test time where you speak
into or you type into the chat and it
goes away and it thinks about it and
comes back and the length of that
thinking time allows it to run multiple
parallel paths and then come back with
an answer that it feels his best both of
those kinds of intelligence are
important they have separate scaling
laws I think that just as they launched
with 01 on the first day it is possible
that they will launch with 4.5 or five
on the last day the 12 days we will see
I do not expect that to be immediately
obvious because they have already
screwed up these these launches it's
very confusing the names are confusing
I'll try and help it be as clear as
possible in my reporting on it okay so
those are seven things that that are
news plus six predictions it's going to
be a wild week ahead cheers
