Addlogix, a manufacturer of interface cables, earlier this week announced a new USB wireless adapter for connecting computers to wireless networks. The new Addlogix USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter is priced at around $40 and available now.

The Addlogix USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter, the company said, plugs into an external USB port of a Windows, Mac or Linux based computer.

OpenAI opens up developer access to the full o1 reasoning model

On the ninth day of OpenAI's holiday press blitz, the company announced that it is releasing the full version of its o1 reasoning model to select developers through the company's API. Until Tuesday's news, devs could only access the less-capable o1-preview model.

According to the company, the full o1 model will begin rolling out to folks in OpenAI's "Tier 5" developer category. Those are users that have had an account for more than a month and who spend at least $1,000 with the company. The new service is especially pricey for users (on account of the added compute resources o1 requires), costing $15 for every (roughly) 750,000 words analyzed and $60 for every (roughly) 750,000 words generated by the model. That's three to four times the cost of performing the same tasks with GPT-4o.

We're nearing the announcement of Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50-series, which will most likely be revealed during CES 2025 in January. Despite the fact that it's less than a month away, we haven't seen any leaked benchmarks of the cards, so their performance remains an enigma. However, a leaker with a lengthy track record now sheds some light on what we can expect from each GPU, and that includes an up to 70% performance boost for Nvidia's best graphics card.

The leaker in question is OneRaichu on X (Twitter), who hasn't shared many new leaks recently, but has had some good insights in the past. As always with any type of leak, treat the following with caution -- it won't be long before we know with certainty what to expect from these upcoming GPUs.
