Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has emphasized the national heroism of Maharana Pratap and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, contrasting them with Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, whom he described as a "bigot" and "cruel ruler." Speaking at the unveiling of a statue of Maharana Pratap in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, Singh criticized post-Independence historians for glorifying Aurangzeb while neglecting the contributions of Pratap and Shivaji.

Published: Apr 19 2025, 5 pmeznews.inOpenAI's newly launched o3 and o4-mini AI models are reportedly experiencing a higher frequency of hallucinations compared to the company's earlier reasoning models, according to a report from _TechCrunch_. Released on April 16, these models are designed to methodically process questions before answering. However, internal tests indicate they generate inaccuracies more often than non-reasoning models like GPT-4o, with OpenAI lacking a clear understanding of the cause. A former employee suggested that the reinforcement learning techniques employed may exacerbate issues typically addressed by standard post-training processes. While some experts believe these hallucinations could foster creativity, they pose challenges for businesses prioritizing accuracy. OpenAI is heavily investing in these models to compete with tech giants like Google and Meta, with the o3 model achieving a 69.1% score in coding ability tests. Additionally, a recent study found that frequent ChatGPT users may experience increased feelings of loneliness.
