- Google DeepMind introduced 𝗥𝗧-𝗫: a generalist AI model to help advance how robots can learn new skills. To train it, DeepMind together with 33 academic labs developed Open X-Embodiment, a massive open dataset that compiles over 500 skills and 150,000 tasks from 22 robot types. It is the most comprehensive robotics dataset of its kind released to accelerate the development of multi-robot models that could be trained to generalize across platforms, scenes, objects and tasks.

- Researchers from Meta AI present Any-Modality Augmented Language Model (AnyMAL), a unified model that understands multiple inputs (vision, audio, motion sensor signals). When multiple modalities are interleaved and given as input the model reasons over them jointly [Paper].
- Perplexity announced pplx-api - an API designed to be one of the fastest ways to access open-source models including Mistral 7B, Llama2 13B, Code Llama 34B, and Llama2 70B [Details].
- Researchers from Google DeepMind and Stanford University introduce a new prompting approach, Analogical Prompting, designed to automatically guide the reasoning process of large language models. Inspired by how humans recall relevant past experiences when tackling new problems, the approach makes LLMs self-generate relevant exemplars or knowledge in context, prior to problem solving [Paper].
- Canva launched MagicStudio - a rich collection of generative AI tools for images, videos, presentations, animation and content. Runway’s Gen-2 will be accessible directly in Canva with its new Magic Media app [Details].
- Google introduced Assistant with Bard, a personal assistant powered by generative AI. It combines Bard’s generative and reasoning capabilities with Assistant’s personalized help. You can interact with it through text, voice or images — and it can even help take actions for you. It will be available on Android and iOS [Details].
- Reka released the first version (in private preview) of their multimodal assistant Yasa-1. In addition to being multimodal, Yasa features long context document processing, fast natively-optimized retrieval augmented generation, multilingual support (20 languages), search engine interface, and a code interpreter [Details].
- Rewind AI is launching Rewind Pendant - a wearable that captures what you say and hear in the real world and then transcribes, encrypts, and stores it entirely locally on your phone [Details].
- Stability AI launched an experimental version of Stable LM 3B - a compact language model designed to operate on handhelds and laptops, that outperforms previous versions in text production speed and scores higher on natural language processing benchmarks [Details].
- Pixel 8 Pro runs Google’s generative AI models on-device [Details].
- Google introduced 4 AI-powered photo and video features on Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro that enable removing unwanted audio, expressions, objects, and more from videos and photos on the new Pixel phones. [Details ].
- Poe announced API v2 which now lets developers query any other bot on Poe for free, and the ability to return images. Poe is also hosting an online hackathon for developers on October 07 [Details].
- LinkedIn announced new AI-powered tools for learning, recruitment, marketing and sales [Details].
- Microsoft makes DALL-E 3 available in Bing Chat and on Bing.com/create, for free [Details].
- StableDiffusionXL is now available on Poe [Details].
