OpenAI launches benchmarks program Pioneers Program

OpenAI has announced the launch of an ambitious Pioneers Program aimed at creating fundamentally new standards for evaluating artificial intelligence. The company intends to develop a system for testing AI models that will better reflect their real effectiveness in various professional fields.

“As AI adoption accelerates across industries, there is a need to better understand and improve its impact on the world,” the company’s blog post states. “Creating specialized evaluation methods is a way to more accurately reflect real-world use cases and help teams assess model performance in practical, high-stakes conditions.”

The need for new standards became evident after the recent scandal with the crowdsourced benchmark LM Arena and Meta’s Maverick model. Existing evaluation methods often focus on solving highly specialized tasks, such as doctoral-level mathematical problems, can be easily circumvented, or do not correspond to real user needs.

As part of the Pioneers Program, OpenAI plans to create specialized benchmarks for key industries, including law, finance, insurance, healthcare, and accounting. In the coming months, the laboratory will collaborate with various companies to develop these standards, which will then become publicly available.

“The first group of participants will consist of startups that will help lay the foundation for the OpenAI Pioneers program,” the company reports. “We are selecting a small number of startups working on important applied problems where AI can have a real impact.”

Program participants will have the opportunity to work with the OpenAI team on improving models through reinforcement fine tuning techniques that optimize models for a narrow set of tasks.

However, the main question is whether the AI community will accept benchmarks created with OpenAI funding. Although the company has supported similar initiatives before, partnering with clients to create AI tests may raise ethical questions within the professional community.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders
A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.
OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI
Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
