The company also said the platform will showcase international premieres. Additionally, JioHotstar will also feature content from Disney, NBCUniversal Peacock, Warner Bros., Discovery HBO, and Paramount.JioHotstar, the new streaming platform created by bringing together both JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar, was launched by JioStar on Friday. This new platform will have the complete content library of both the OTT platforms and more. Apart from all the movies and shows from the two entities, this new platform will also host content from different international studios and platforms. The JV has also announced a free tier for this streaming service. This JioStar joint venture was formed in November 2024 after the successful merger of Star India and Viacom18.

In the press release, JioStar announced the launch of the new JioHostar and also shared complimentary details about the new platform. The company mentioned that the said new platform will feature roughly 300,000 hours of content along with live sports coverage.

At the launch, the platform is said to have a total user base of more than 50 crore by combining the joint users on both platforms. However, what's not clear is whether the claimed number excludes the duplicate accounts (people with both JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar accounts). The exciting part is that the new platform also gets a new logo, which can be the word JioHotstar and an asymmetrical seven-pointed star.

Another interesting part is that JioHotstar will be free to access and watch content for the time being. Users may not need a subscription to watch movies, shows, or even live sports. However, it is unclear if there would be a certain amount of content behind a paywall. The added that there are subscription plans for those “looking for an uninterrupted and enhanced experience.” This likely means that paying subscribers will not be shown ads, and they can stream the shows at a higher resolution.

Next, coming to the subscriptions, the existing subscribers of Disney+Hotstar and JioCinema will be automatically transitioned to the new platform. The company has also said that these users will be able to set up their JioHotsar subscriptions when they will be logging into the app for the first time. New subscribers can browse through the platform's new plans starting at Rs. 149.

JioStar will also be featuring content in 10 different Indian languages, panning across a wide range of content formats and genres. Viewers will also be able to watch anime, documentaries, moves, shows, live sporting events and more.

OpenAI has unveiled a comprehensive update to its Model Spec, a document detailing the expected behaviour of its AI models. This expanded version, now 63 pages long compared to the previous 10, is available for free use and modification. It outlines guidelines on handling sensitive topics and user customisation, focusing on customisability, transparency, and "intellectual freedom."

The updated specifications focus on several key areas. Transparency is paramount, with OpenAI providing more detailed information about the model's training data, architecture, and limitations. This increased visibility aims to foster trust and understanding. Customizability is another core focus, allowing users to fine-tune model responses and tailor them to specific applications.

OpenAI has also addressed the crucial issue of handling controversial topics. The expanded specifications outline guidelines for mitigating harmful or biased outputs, reflecting the company's commitment to responsible AI development. The challenge of "AI sycophancy," where models excessively agree with or flatter users, is also being tackled. OpenAI is implementing measures to encourage more objective and balanced responses.

Public feedback is a vital component of this process. OpenAI is actively soliciting input from users and the broader AI community to further refine its model specifications and address emerging concerns. Industry collaboration is also crucial, with OpenAI working with other organizations to establish best practices and promote responsible AI development. This expanded model specification represents a significant step towards more transparent, customizable, and responsible AI.
