OpenAI announces o3 Pro, its most intelligent reasoning model by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced o3-pro, its flagship reasoning model that uses more compute to "think harder" and provide consistently better answers. This new model will be replacing o1-pro in ChatGPT since it consistently performs better in math, science, and coding. To help everyone make the most out of the model, o3-pro supports tool calling. So, based on the user prompt, the model can do a web search, analyze files, reason about visual inputs, use Python, personalize responses using memory, and more. This is a big improvement over o1-pro, which lacked access to tools. But the downside is that o3-pro will take more time to respond. OpenAI recommends users use o3-pro in cases where reliability matters more than speed. According to OpenAI's evaluations, users consistently preferred o3-pro's responses over o3 in key domains like science, education, programming, business, and writing help. o3-pro was also rated consistently higher for clarity, comprehensiveness, instruction-following, and accuracy. The new o3-pro model is available in ChatGPT's model picker for Pro and Team. ChatGPT's Enterprise and Edu users will get access to this latest model next week. For developers, the o3-pro model comes with a 200,000 context window and is priced at $20 per million input tokens and $80 per million output tokens. OpenAI recommends developers use background mode with o3-pro to prevent timeouts. And the model has a May 31, 2024 knowledge cutoff. The OpenAI team also noted the following as the current limitations of the o3-pro model: At the moment, temporary chats are disabled for o3-pro as we resolve a technical issue. Image generation is not supported within o3-pro—please use GPT-4o, OpenAI o3, or OpenAI o4-mini to generate images. Canvas is also currently not supported within o3-pro. As OpenAI continues to refine its models, the balance between speed and reliability will likely remain a key consideration for users choosing the right tool for their needs. -

What annoys me is updates take forever to install on my Pixel 9 Pro XL, it was never so slow on my Samsung devices. -

Question
semifamous
I need for users to be able to install fonts to their system without admin privileges at work. We have a system set up that installs software from a defined database that runs as SYSTEM, and that is working well so far.
I had thought that copying font files to the WINDOWS\Fonts directory would be enough to install them, but apparently it is not.
So I found a VB script that copies .ttf files to the Fonts directory using the Windows shell, causing the font to be properly registered. This runs at system startup as SYSTEM, so it has write permission to the directory. All they have to do is copy their new fonts to a directory on the file server and restart their system.
The problem is that this only copies files to the local system if they do not already exist there. I had been using robocopy to copy them over, but that wasn't registering them.
So now what I need to do is to figure out how to copy over fonts that are not correctly registered in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Fonts
Alternatively, I need to be able to automatically delete .ttf files from the local system that are not correctly registered in that same registry key. I definitely don't want to go through the 1,500+ fonts manually.
I also need to be able to copy over .ttf, .otf, .fon and any other font extensions that are possible.
I don't know anything about VB script. Can someone explain how to make that go or write up something that would do that?
