Tech News November 2025: GPT-5.1, Gemini 3.0, and the Rise of Agentic AI

The world of technology never sleeps, but this November 2025 is particularly frenetic. Between giants battling with ever more powerful language models and the emergence of a new paradigm of AI usage, it's easy to get lost.

Here is your essential recap to understand the major stakes of these last few weeks.

1. The Model War: OpenAI vs Google

OpenAI and the GPT-5.1 Rumors

While GPT-5 was long awaited, leaks and partial announcements suggest the imminent arrival of a major intermediate version: GPT-5.1. The expected improvements are not just quantitative (more parameters) but qualitative:

• Deep Reasoning (System 2 Thinking): Increased ability to "think" before answering, drastically reducing hallucinations on complex tasks.
• Extreme Personalization: The model would adapt in real-time to the user's style and preferences with much more reliable long-term memory.

Google Gemini 3.0 and "Computer Use"

Google is not staying behind. With Gemini 2.5 already deployed, eyes are turning to Gemini 3.0. The feature making the most noise is "Computer Use". Similar to what Anthropic initiated, Gemini would be capable of taking control of a computer's user interface to perform tasks: clicking, typing, navigating, using complex software. It's a giant leap towards the true personal assistant.

2. The Shift to Agentic AI

It's the buzzword, but it's above all a technical reality. We are moving from Generative AI (which creates text/image) to Agentic AI (which performs actions). Microsoft and NVIDIA launched the "Agentic Launchpad" this month, a program aimed at accelerating startups building these autonomous agents. The idea is simple: instead of asking ChatGPT "How to do X?", you tell your agent "Do X". The agent will then use tools, browse the web, and execute the task. This is the realization of AI's productivity promise.

3. Hardware: NVIDIA Still at the Top

NVIDIA has reached a record valuation of 5 Trillion dollars. Demand for its Blackwell chips is insatiable. This underscores that the AI "bubble", if it exists, is far from bursting from an infrastructure standpoint. Data centers continue to spring up like mushrooms, and energy consumption is becoming a major geopolitical issue.

4. Regulation: Europe Hesitates

Faced with American dominance, the European Commission seems to want to delay the strict application of the AI Act. The fear is to stifle European innovation and let the continent fall behind technologically. An intense debate is taking place between proponents of absolute safety and those of necessary competitiveness.

What to Remember November 2025 confirms that AI is not a passing fad but a groundswell redefining computing. The human-machine interface is changing: we will soon no longer click on buttons, we will converse with agents.
