🤖 OpenAI’s AI Agents Could Cost Up to $20K/Month
^{Insights from The Information}

OpenAI is developing premium AI agents for business professionals, software developers, and PhD-level researchers, priced between $2,000 and $20,000 per month. These AI tools aim to enhance productivity and automate complex tasks.

The Breakdown:

• Three Pricing Tiers for AI Agents - The business professional agent will cost $2K/month, the software developer agent $10K/month, and the PhD-level research agent $20K/month, focusing on advanced problem-solving.
  

• SoftBank Invests $3B in OpenAI’s AI Agents - SoftBank has reportedly committed $3B to these AI products in 2025, signaling strong enterprise demand. OpenAI expects these AI agents to drive 25% of its future revenue.
  

• AI Agents Set to Transform Workflows - CEO Sam Altman predicts AI agents will enter the workforce in 2025, replacing high-salary roles and boosting business efficiency while reducing costs.
  

• OpenAI’s Profitability Push - After losing $5B in 2024, OpenAI is shifting to enterprise AI solutions to generate sustainable revenue and dominate the high-end automation market.

These high-cost AI agents could redefine corporate AI adoption, forcing businesses to evaluate their ROI on automation. If successful, they could set a new standard for AI-driven expertise in high-skill industries.

🔍 Google’s AI Mode: The Biggest Search Upgrade Yet

Google has rolled out AI Mode, an advanced search experience powered by Gemini 2.0. This upgrade enables complex, multi-step queries, follow-up interactions, and multimodal reasoning—revolutionizing how users interact with Search.

• Ask Complex Questions: AI Mode allows users to ask detailed, multi-part questions that previously required multiple searches.

• Follow-Up Conversations: No need to restart searches—refine answers by asking follow-ups without repeating context.

• Multimodal Understanding: AI Mode processes text, images, and real-world context for more accurate and insightful responses.

How to Use It

1. Join the Waitlist – AI Mode is available in Google Labs for Google One AI Premium subscribers.

2. Enable AI Mode – Once granted access, toggle AI Mode in Search settings.

3. Ask Any Question – Use detailed prompts, follow up with refinement queries, and even upload images for AI-powered insights.

Why It Matters

This update transforms Search into an intelligent, conversational assistant, making information retrieval smarter, faster, and more interactive.

🤖 Wharton Study Exposes AI Prompting Myths
^{Insights from Gail}

Wharton researchers conducted 19,800 tests on GPT-4o and GPT-4o mini, uncovering major flaws in AI consistency, formatting reliance, and the impact of politeness on responses. The findings suggest that AI-generated answers vary unpredictably, raising concerns for businesses relying on automation.

The Decode:

• AI Responses Lack Consistency - When asked the same question 100 times, AI often gave different answers, proving that reliability is a major issue. This inconsistency suggests AI may not be fully dependable for critical decision-making in professional settings.
  

• Prompting Structure Affects Accuracy -  Clearly defining the response format improved AI accuracy, while politeness had mixed effects—sometimes helping, sometimes hurting performance. Structured queries gave better results, showing that prompt design plays a crucial role in AI-generated answers.
  

• AI Struggles with Precision on Complex Queries - On PhD-level questions, GPT-4o performed only 5% better than random guessing, while GPT-4o mini was just 4.5% better. 

The study highlights the unpredictability of AI responses, debunking the idea that a single "perfect" prompt works in all cases. Companies relying on AI must account for prompt variability and incorporate human oversight to ensure accuracy and dependability in critical applications.
