This week in AI - partnered with aibrews.com feel free to follow their newsletter
News & Insights
- ElevenLabs has launched AI Speech Classifier - an authentication tool that lets you upload any audio sample to identify if it contains ElevenLabs AI-generated audio [Details].
- Nvidia Research presents SceneScape - a method to generate long-term walkthroughs in imaginary scenes just from an input text prompt [Details |Paper ].
- Meta AI introduces the Image Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (I-JEPA), a new AI model which learns from the world like humans and excels in computer vision tasks, while being more computationally efficient. It learns by creating an internal model of the outside world, which compares abstract representations of images (rather than comparing the pixels themselves). It can also be used for many different applications without needing extensive fine tuning. Meta is open-sourcing the code and model checkpoints [Details |Paper].
- Meta wants to make the next version of LLaMA, its open source LLM, available for commercial use [Details].
- Adobe launched Generative Recolor, a new tool powered by Adobe Firefly generative AI that lets you generate custom color schemes using texts prompt like “strawberry fields,” “faded emerald,” etc. [Details].
- OpenAI announced:
- new function calling capability in the Chat Completions API
- updated and more steerable versions of gpt-4 and gpt-3.5-turbo
- new 16k context version of gpt-3.5-turbo (vs the standard 4k version). 16k context means the model can now support ~20 pages of text in a single request.
- cost reductions: 75% on embeddings model and 25% cost on input tokens for gpt-3.5-turbo [Details].
- Meta AI released MusicGen - an open-source music generation model that can be prompted by both text and melody. See here for generated samples and comparison with Google’s MusicLM and others [Paper | Huggingface Demo | GitHub].
- McKinsey published a report ‘The economic potential of generative AI: The next productivity frontier’ . The report estimates that generative AI could add the equivalent of $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion annually across the 63 use cases. About 75 percent of the value that generative AI use cases could deliver falls across four areas: Customer operations, marketing and sales, software engineering, and R&D [Details].
- EU lawmakers pass AI regulation, requiring generative AI systems, such as ChatGPT, to be reviewed before commercial release. It also seeks to ban real-time facial recognition [ Details].
- Google Lens can now identify skin conditions. Lens will also be integrated with Bard, Google’s AI-powered chatbot, enabling Bard to understand images in user prompts [Details].
- AMD announced its most-advanced GPU for artificial intelligence, the MI300X, which will start shipping to some customers later this year [Details].
- Vercel introduced Vercel AI SDK - an open-source library to build conversational, streaming and chat user interfaces. Includes first-class support for OpenAI, LangChain, and Hugging Face Inference [Details].
- Vercel announced 'Vercel AI Accelerator, a 6-week long accelerator program with $850k in free credits from OpenAI, Replicate and others [Details].
- Salesforce announces AI Cloud - generative AI for the enterprise. AI Cloud includes the new Einstein Trust Layer, to help prevent large-language models (LLMs) from retaining sensitive customer data [Details].
- Cohere and Oracle are working together to make it easy for enterprise customers to train their own specialized large language models while protecting the privacy of their training data [Details].
- Coda released Coda AI - the AI-powered work assistant integrated in Coda to automate workflows. Coda also announced ‘Coda's AI at Work Challenge’, offering $40,000 in total prizes to the makers who submit the most useful Coda AI template to the Coda Gallery [Details].
- OpenAI, Google DeepMind and Anthropic have committed to provide “early or priority access” to their AI models to UK in order to support research into evaluation and safety [Details].
