🤖 Artificial Analysis AI Review 2024 Highlights
In 2024, AI made huge strides. Models surpassed GPT-4, open-source caught up with proprietary systems, costs dropped sharply, and smaller, faster models improved. It’s reshaping how we use AI today.
Key takeaways:
In 2024, several labs caught up to OpenAI’s GPT-4, and some models surpassed its intelligence.
The US is still leading in advanced AI, but competition is growing.
Open-source models are now closer in performance to proprietary ones.
The cost of running AI models dropped significantly, even for highly advanced ones.
Smaller models played a big role in making AI faster and cheaper.
Why it matters: These changes open up new opportunities for businesses, developers, and researchers while reshaping industries. As the gap between open-source and proprietary models narrows, and costs fall, innovation becomes more inclusive. Understanding these shifts is important for staying competitive and leveraging AI’s potential to solve real-world problems.

AI HIGHLIGHTS
9️⃣ Day 9 of 12 days of OpenAI: o1 is now available via API! It features system prompts, developer messages, function calling, structured outputs, and the new "reasoning effort" parameter.
OpenAI's latest paper reveals that the o1-preview AI model significantly outperforms doctors in reasoning tasks. On the 143 challenging NEJM CPC diagnoses, the AI achieved an impressive ~80% success rate compared to ~30% by doctors. This highlights a growing concern: relying solely on a doctor’s opinion without consulting an AI model could now be considered a risk.

📢 YouTube now lets creators control if third-party companies can use their videos for AI training (like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Meta, to train models on their videos).
🚀 Google has launched the Gemini 2.0 Experimental Advanced model on the web, previously ranked #1 as Gemini-exp-1206 on AI Studio. Currently, it lacks search and tool integration. Pro version coming soon?
🤖 AI startup Artisan faced backlash for "Stop Hiring Humans" billboards in struggling areas, raising job fears.

AI CHART
The AI boom in the U.S. can be seen in the number of data centers. As of March, there were 5,381 data centers in the country according to new data from Apollo’s 2025 Economic Outlook - more than all other major countries combined. A big part of this growth comes from companies like Apple, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon. Together, these companies are set to spend $200 billion this year on building and upgrading systems to support AI.
Significance: The U.S. is experiencing a robust wave of investment in AI, unlike other developed nations such as Europe, Canada, or Australia.
Corporate Investment: Major tech companies, known as the "Magnificent Seven" (Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, NVIDIA, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla), have ramped up their capital expenditures, reaching nearly $50 billion annually. These funds focus on AI development and supporting infrastructure like data centers and semiconductors.
Economic Impact: The AI boom is fueling productivity-enhancing technologies and automation, with spillover effects on supply chains and energy needs.
Energy Demand: Data centers required for AI operations significantly increase power needs, with projections showing U.S. data center energy demand could double by 2030.
