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.
