The 2025 State of AI Report just landed - China’s catching up fast on reasoning and coding. Models like DeepSeek, Qwen, and Kimi are starting to nip at OpenAI’s heels.
AI is thinking longer-term now. Reinforced reasoning and rubric-style feedback are pushing models into deeper, more deliberate planning. Embodied systems? Already moving. Gemini Robotics is out here running “Chain-of-Action” workflows in the real world. Think LLM meets robot arms.
Use is booming too. Forty-four percent of U.S. firms now pay for AI tools. Meanwhile, sovereign-backed multi-gigawatt datacenters are popping up. Scale like that screams industrial era.
