With so much news coming out throughout the week, it’s difficult to isolate less important updates from important updates. To keep readers up to date, we have put together a weekly technical summary. There, we’ll be looking at the top news articles that make waves in the world of technology. This week, Openai pulled pages from Deepseek’s playbook, Apple’s iPhones got its first porn app in the EU, and India’s Treasury banned the use of ChatGpt and Deepseek and more.
Top Technology News of the Week:
1) ChatGPT pulls pages from DeepSeek’s playbook.
After deploying the O3-MINI inference model for all users last week, OpenAI provided a more detailed idea of the model and took inspiration from Chinese rival Deepseek R1. Unlike DeepSeek, however, ChatGpt only provides an inference summary, not raw data. Openai provides this data to help people understand how the model thinks (Vai Techradar).
In the context, unlike traditional models such as Openai’s GPT-4O and Deepseek’s V3, inference models aim to mimic human thought processes that are said to improve complex problem solving in AI. One of the reasons Deepseek rose to fame last month is that it allowed users to see how its inference model reached its conclusion. However, despite the detailed chain, Deepseek still refuses to answer questions related to the Tainamen incident or northeastern India.
Meanwhile, Openai has also added a new “deep search” mode to ChatGPT, allowing users to perform multi-step research on the web for more complex tasks. In particular, following the launch of Operator AI for Browser-Related Tasks last month, Deep Research is Openai’s second AI agent.
2) The first porn app arrives in the App Store:
Apple quickly criticized the digital market law, which made IPHONE’s first porn app available for download in the European Union. A new app called Hot Tub is now available through a third-party app store called Altstore Pal.
Hot Tub offers users the choice to view adult content in a private, secure way without ads or tracking.
In the release of Hot Tub, Altstore wrote in a social media post:
“We are deeply concerned about the safety risks that this type of hardcore porn app creates for EU users, especially children. This app and others have been working to create the best in the world for 10 years. It will undermine consumer confidence and confidence in the ecosystem that has worked for them. “Apple responded to the availability of hot tubs.
3) Ministry of Finance prohibits use of Deepseek – ChatGpt:
The Treasury has asked employees to avoid using AI tools such as ChatGpt and Deepseek due to the risks these chatbots pose to the confidentiality of government documents and data.
“It has been determined that Office computers and devices AI tools and AI apps (such as ChatGpt, Deepseek) pose a risk of data and document confidentiality,” the Reuters report states. I quote that there is.
4) China will begin research into Google’s anti-trust practices.
China announced Tuesday that it has launched an anti-trust investigation into Google for allegedly violating the country’s anti-Monopoly law. Official notices from the Chinese national government for market regulation confirmed that Android manufacturers were placed during investigations in accordance with the law.
Google has already been scrutinized for its monopoly practices in several countries around the world, including its home country that lost its groundbreaking case last year. However, the timing of the announcement of a new lawsuit against Google in China is questionable as the Trump administration investigated shortly after the 10% tariff on US goods took effect.
5) Elon Musk calls for Subreddit to break the law, and Reddit takes action.
Social media platform Reddit temporarily banned the R/Whitepeopletwitter subreddit this week after billionaire Elon Musk claimed that users there had broken the law. Reddit said the community has been suspended for 72 hours due to “prevalence of violent content.”
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), a user called “Reddit Lies” posted a screenshot of R/Whitepeople Twitter. There, people were discussing the identity of Musk’s Doge employees who recently helped control various systems within the US federal government.
In response to the post, Musk wrote, “They broke the law.”
