I Got a New Sweater from Microsoft
It’s actually the Windows XP old background. I thought it was pretty cool. Anyway, I got a lot of AI news that I want to cover with you and show off some really cool stuff, so let’s just jump right into it.
Leak on the Next Version of GPT
Starting with the news that maybe we have a leak on the next version of GPT with GPT 4.5. Now, this isn’t confirmed 100%. This was found on Reddit. According to this leaked screenshot, GPT 4.5 is going to be the most advanced model with audio, vision, video, and 3D alongside complex reasoning and cross modal understanding. The leaked screenshot also shows the pricing list for the GPT 4.5 API, indicating different versions for audio, speech, and vision, with pricing that seems significantly higher compared to previous models. If true, it means we may soon be able to use video and 3D with the GPT 4.5 API in chat GPT, which is quite exciting.
AI Journalism
Also, Axel Springer and OpenAI are partnering to deepen the beneficial use of AI in journalism. This partnership aims to keep chat GPT up to date on the news so that it can provide updated information on current events and news using content from media outlets owned by Axel Springer. This is a significant development and a full circle moment considering that back in July 2023, Axel Springer and other top publishers were planning to sue AI giants like Google and OpenAI for using their content. The partnership now signifies a shift in their approach, aligning with the use of AI in journalism.
OpenAI’s Chat GPT Plus
Additionally, if you’ve been wanting to get into Chat GPT Plus but haven’t been able to because it was shut down, OpenAI has re-enabled Chat GPT Plus subscriptions after finding more GPUs. This is great news for those who have been waiting to become Plus members.
Google’s Latest AI Updates
Google also made several announcements this week, including the launch of Notebook LM, a tool for research and students to upload notes and documents and use a search box to find specific information from the uploaded documents. They also launched Gemini Pro API, which is available for developers to start developing with, and they rolled out Music FX, a tool for generating music based on specific prompts.
Meta’s Latest Innovations
Meta introduced their new audio box, allowing users to train their own voice and generate different types of speech. They also rolled out a new update to their Rayban sunglasses that integrates AI features such as visual recognition and translation. Additionally, Tesla showcased their new Optimus Gen 2 humanoid robot with impressive capabilities in movement and tactile sensing.
Advancements in AI Art
Mid Journey and Stability AI also introduced new updates and features, with Mid Journey version 6 in development and Stability AI releasing a new model for 3D image creation. Furthermore, Instagram and Snapchat both rolled out AI-powered background editing and image extension features, enhancing user creativity in content creation.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the advancements in AI continue to be groundbreaking, with new models, features, and applications being introduced across various platforms. The future of AI appears to be more efficient and specialized, as seen in the Mixol model from Mistol AI, as well as the evolving capabilities of AI in various domains such as journalism, art, and robotics. It’s an exciting time for AI enthusiasts and professionals, with new possibilities and opportunities emerging with each new development.
