DeepSeek R1-0528 Launches as Strong Open Source Alternative to OpenAI o3, Google Gemini 2.5 Pro

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek has launched DeepSeek-R1-0528, a major upgrade that brings its open-source model close to OpenAI o3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro in reasoning performance.

Details:

• The update delivers major gains: AIME 2025 accuracy jumps from 70% to 87.5%, LiveCodeBench improves from 63.5% to 73.3%, and "Humanity's Last Exam" more than doubles from 8.5% to 17.7%, driven by better algorithms and more compute

• Developer features include JSON output, function calling, cleaner system prompts, and fewer hallucinations—rolled out at no extra cost for current API users

• Model weights are on Hugging Face, with clear deployment docs and a lighter 8B version that runs on just 16GB of GPU memory

The whale is back—DeepSeek delivers near-commercial AI performance in an open-source model anyone can use, modify, or deploy. Try it on their website.

AI and Job Security

Anthropic CEO Sees AI Eliminating 50% of Entry-Level Positions

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns AI could erase half of entry-level white-collar jobs in five years, spiking unemployment to 20%. He calls it a “white-collar bloodbath” — even as he builds the AI fueling it.

Details:

• AI agents are taking over coding, finance, support, and legal work—quicker and cheaper than humans. Meta predicts mid-level coders gone by 2025. Microsoft and others are already cutting jobs. CEOs are quietly eyeing replacements before hiring

• The threat is growing: leaders are uninformed, workers unprepared, and firms ready to automate as soon as AI matches humans. This shift could hit millions across industries within months

• Amodei urges public warnings, a 3% AI tax to support displaced workers, and steps to curb inequality—warning of deep economic divides that could shake democracy

This isn’t doomsaying—it’s a call to guide an unstoppable shift before millions lose jobs. AI will advance, with China leading if the U.S. falls behind. The question isn’t if, but whether we prepare or get blindsided. As Amodei says, “You can’t stop the train—only steer it.”
