The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

A 'frontier reasoning model' from just 1000 examples (s1). A $100B Musk bid for power. Gemini 2, Rand and warning from Amodei. Here’s 7-8 developments you may have missed but which I would argue help us understand how the next few years will play out. From labour vs capital to automating rival companies and countries, and from non-profit shenanigans to new mini-docs, there was just too much for me not to make a vid.

Deep Research by OpenAI - The Ups and Downs vs DeepSeek R1 Search + Gemini Deep Research 18:32

18:32

12 hours ago Deep Research was unveiled, and I’ve tested it thoroughly, including vs Deepseek R1 with search, Gemini Deep Research and even R1 in Perplexity. It’s a notable step forward, with one big caveat. I’ll go through all the benchmark figures, my initial impression of the o3 model within, and much more.

o3-mini and the “AI War” 15:21

o 3-mini is here, and yes, I’ve read the paper in full - 2 hours after release, and even the post-launch Reddit AMA. Some epic details like a FrontierMath score that made me double-take, a likely new Cursor favorite, bio risk expertise and a cost-comparison with Deepseek R1., But does it perform on basic reasoning - let’s find out. Plus, arguably the bigger story - the increasingly frenetic rhetoric coming out of the West - and Dario Amodei and Alexandr Wang (CEOs of Anthropic and Scale AI respectively) in particular. The last thing we need is an “AI War”. https://wandb.me/simple-bench (Colab): https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1AVijcPnEkl8Gy_754XbRdG5m7Q5-9slg?usp=sharing Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 00:45 - o3 mini 05:11 - First impressions vs Deepseek R1 07:21 - 10x Scale, o3-mini System Card, Amodei Essay, bitcoin wallets… 12:40 - Simple Competition Finale 13:03 - Clips and Final Thoughts on the “AI War” O3-mini: https://openai.com/index/openai-o3-mini/ Paper: https://cdn.openai.com/o3-mini-system-card.pdf Amodei Essay: https://darioamodei.com/on-deepseek-and-export-controls?s=09 FrontierMath wild stat:https://arxiv.org/pdf/2411.04872 Sam Altman Channels Napoleon: https://x.com/sama/status/1883185690508488934 Altman ‘pulls up releases’: https://x.com/sama/status/1884066337103962416 “AI War” by Wang: https://scale.com/blog/win-the-ai-war Anthropic Original Views on Capabilities: https://www.anthropic.com/news/core-views-on-ai-safety AI Insider Cost Comparison:https://x.com/arankomatsuzaki/status/1884676245922934788 Deepseek R1 Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.12948 R1, o3-mini Price Comparison: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/31/openai-launches-o3-mini-its-latest-reasoning-model/ Semianalysis on $1,3M deepseek salaries, and them falling behind as ‘the time gap to match US capabilities increases’: https://semianalysis.com/2025/01/31/deepseek-debates/ OpenAI Valuation: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-30/openai-in-talks-to-raise-funding-at-340-billion-value-wsj-says?srnd=phx-ai Wang Clip: https://x.com/tsarnick/status/1867700453494206883 Amodei Clip: https://x.com/ai_ctrl/status/1884951111771001188 https://simple-bench.com/…
