AI Day: GPT-4, Google, UK's Foundation models
Daily AI newsletter by NextBigWhat
What a day for AI industry today! Here is a quick summary:
OpenAI launched GPT-4
Google has announced integrating generative AI across all of its products
UK to launch taskforce on AI Foundation Models
Alphabet-backed Anthropic releases OpenAI competitor named Claude
OpenAI has launched GPT-4 and while the API is still on a waitlist, people are doing crazy things with it.
GPT-4 outperforms GPT-3.5 on almost every type of exam. For example, while GPT-3.5 scores in the bottom 10% of test takers for the bar exam, GPT-4 scores in the top 10%.
GPT-4 supports visual inputs. That is, you can upload an image and let GPT-4 describe it :)
GPT-4 can accept a prompt of text and images, which—parallel to the text-only setting—lets the user specify any vision or language task. Specifically, it generates text outputs (natural language, code, etc.) given inputs consisting of interspersed text and images. Over a range of domains—including documents with text and photographs, diagrams, or screenshots—GPT-4 exhibits similar capabilities as it does on text-only inputs. - read the OpenAI blog
Google is going big with its Generative AI integrations
Google is integrating Generative AI in all of its workplace products - i.e. Gmail, docs, slides. With these features, you’ll be able to:
draft, reply, summarize, and prioritize your Gmail
brainstorm, proofread, write, and rewrite in Docs
bring your creative vision to life with auto-generated images, audio, and video in Slides
go from raw data to insights and analysis via auto completion, formula generation, and contextual categorization in Sheets
generate new backgrounds and capture notes in Meet
enable workflows for getting things done in Chat
Google has also announced PaLM API
It will be released with a new tool called MakerSuite, which lets you prototype ideas, do prompt engineering, synthetic data generation and custom-model tuning [details]
UK to launch taskforce on AI Foundation Models
The taskforce, announced as part of the Integrated Review, will report to the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology.
It will bring together leading experts to help boost the UK's Foundation Model expertise and maintain its position as a world-leader in AI technology, ensuring that the benefits are harnessed to help grow the economy, create jobs, protect security and benefit society.
Alphabet-backed Anthropic releases OpenAI competitor named Claude
Claude, as Anthropic's model is known, is built to carry out similar tasks to ChatGPT by responding to prompts with human-like text output, whether that is in the form of editing legal contracts or writing computer code.
But Anthropic, which was co-founded by former OpenAI executives, has put a focus on producing AI systems that are less likely to generate offensive or dangerous content, such as instructions for computer hacking or making weapons, than other systems. [Via]
