5 things we want to see from GPT-5
GPT-5 is expected to arrive this summer, and these are the big things we want to see it arrive with
GPT-5 has been a hot topic for quite a while now, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently made comments regarding the future of the GPT model on Lex Fridman's podcast. In that podcast, he stated that GPT-4 "kind of sucks" now and that he's looking forward to what comes next. He refused to refer to it as "GPT-5", but a recent report from Business Insider did name it as such, with people familiar with the LLM referring to it as "materially better" when compared to GPT-4.
Claude 3 Opus vs Microsoft Copilot Pro: One clear winner
Claude 3 Opus is a new LLM that's making waves, but how does it fare against Microsoft's Copilot Pro subscription?
The world of large language models (LLMs) has been an oligopoly of essentially three major players: OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google. Now it's growing with a new LLM from Anthropic, dubbed Claude 3 Opus. It's an LLM that's been making waves with answers that many claim are better than GPT-4. GPT-4 Turbo is what powers Microsoft Copilot, and how does Microsoft Copilot Pro stack up against Claude 3 Opus? There's a clear winner.
Claude 3 Opus vs Gemini Advanced: A surprisingly close call
Claude 3 Opus is a groundbreaking new AI model that manages to really impress.
In the world of large language models, it's been dominated by ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini. If you've heard of Anthropic, its new LLM dubbed "Claude" has been doing rounds as a potential major competitor in the space. Claude 3 Opus recently launched, and it's managed to really, really impress. This is how it stacks up against Google Gemini Advanced in particular.
3 ways AI will change gaming forever
AI is doing things humans cannot, and it's only getting better.
Artificial intelligence has affected almost every area of technology. From data analysis to art programs, it's hard to find a tech-based industry that hasn't been affected by AI in some way. Video games are no different, and while it hasn't seen AI developments as fast as some areas, we're still seeing some exciting developments that can change gaming forever.
Apple's MM1 language model could finally make Siri useful
Apple's MM1 language model could be developed in part to make Siri useful as part of the iPhone 16 series.
Apple has been quietly working on generative AI for quite a while now, with company CEO Tim Cook making the announcement in a recent earnings call. Nobody really knows what that means just yet, but a recent research paper published without much fanfare by engineers at the company can give us some clues. Apple's MM1 language model is a multimodal model with up to 30 billion parameters, and can also come packaged as a mixture of experts model (MoE) that goes up to 64 billion parameters.
GPT-5 might finally launch this summer
GPT-5 is the next big update to GPT from OpenAI, and it might be just a few months away
GPT-4 is still one of the best large language models out there, and it powers Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT Plus. However, according to Business Insider, we may see GPT-5 arrive as soon as this summer. One source for the site stated that GPT-5 is "materially better," with the AI model being demonstrated in use for data and utility specific to his company. Given the growing advancement from competitors like the Gemini Ultra model and Claude 3 Opus, OpenAI is likely starting to feel the mounting pressure.
Generative AI's "model collapse" will cause it to poison itself, here's what that means
Model collapse is an impending issue when it comes to AI, and here's what it means.
Generative AI has taken off in ways that we could have never imagined, and it's become incredibly pervasive across the entire internet. With X (formerly Twitter) bots powered by generative AI, automated accounts on Reddit, and even scholarly papers being made at least in part by LLMs, the internet is slowly being flooded with content generated by algorithms. While humans can by and large filter this content out as they go (or even find some value in it), LLMs can't, and it's exactly why AI will poison itself over time.
Claude 3 Opus vs ChatGPT Plus: A challenger approaches
Claude 3 Opus and ChatGPT Plus are two subscription model LLMs, but the differences between them are quite stark.
In the world of large language models, it's been a realm purely dominated by ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini. There's a new player in town from Anthropic though, and it's dubbed "Claude." Claude 3 Opus recently launched, and it's giving a run for its money over competitors in a way that seemingly puts it ahead of even the best of what GPT-4 has to offer.
AI can hallucinate, and here's one way I experienced it
LLMs are widely known to hallucinate, and here's a fun and interesting way I experienced it that exposes some gaps in AI knowledge.
When it comes to AI, there's a lot about it that we don't really know. Reverse engineering AI models is a massive industry, and the field itself is called mechanistic interpretability. With that said, we have some understandings on a conceptual level of how some things happen, and an interesting one I came across recently was a strange hallucination from OpenAI's GPT-3.5 when I asked it to translate a word into Irish.
I used Google Gemini's new prompt refining feature and here's how it worked
A surprisingly good tool for any AI enthusiast.
Recently, Google added an interesting new feature to Gemini. This tool lets you sculpt the chatbot's responses to better suit your needs. This includes regenerating a piece of text, adding more context, cutting down on words, rewriting sections, or getting rid of entire sections. This not only allows you to refine any text you generated that you intend to copy-paste (i.e. generating a cover letter), but it's also great for asking Gemini to extrapolate on parts you want to learn more about (i.e. asking it how a phishing attack works exactly). As such, I gave the tool a test run to see how each part fares.
Claude 3 Opus is an LLM that outperforms GPT-4 and Gemini
If you've been hearing about Claude 3 Opus recently but aren't sure what it is, we have a basic hands-on to show you what all the hubbub is about!
If you've been following the generative AI space for a while, then you may have heard of Claude 3 Opus. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, it's an LLM by Anthropic that manages to compete with GPT-4, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot in a meaningful way. Not only that, but many people feel confident in saying that it outperforms GPT-4, and to be honest, I absolutely agree. Claude 3 Opus is the real deal, and it's a surprisingly powerful model that manages to outperform GPT-4 in a ton of ways.
Right now, Nvidia is the king of AI hardware. A lot of the big movers in the artificial intelligence industry rely on Nvidia's hardware to get the job done, but they're also keen to make their own bespoke solution so they don't need to rely on another company's hardware. Such is the case with OpenAI, who have entered talks to have their own AI hardware made.
Apple will launch generative AI features later this year, but nobody knows what that means
Apple has been known to march to the beat of its own drum, but for once, it's starting on a backfoot.
Generative AI is all the rage, and companies across the world are all trying to incorporate new features that make use of it. While Apple has typically marched to the beat of its own drum, it turns out that not even the Cupertino giant is exempt. Tim Cook, in a recent quarterly earnings call, said that Apple's own generative AI will come "later this year", but what that means is anyone's guess.
Microsoft is now badgering Chrome users to switch from Google to Bing in latest annoying pop-up
Microsoft is once against showing intrusive notifications to Windows users on Chrome, urging them to switch from Google Search to Bing.
A few days ago, we learned that Microsoft is spamming the Windows 11 lock screen with QR codes which leads unsuspecting users to a promotion for the company's latest Copilot ads. Following backlash, the firm removed this "advertisement", but it seems that it hasn't learned its lesson just yet, as yet another dubious ad promoting the GPT-4-powered Bing has been spotted by several Chrome users.
OpenAI's impressive text-to-video generator Sora is launching publicly this year
OpenAI's CTO has confirmed that Sora is launching this year, and that the company is working on adding new capabilities to the model too.
Last month, ChatGPT's creator, OpenAI, once again shocked the world with its latest AI model; a text-to-video generator called Sora. A demo from the company showed how Sora could generate almost flawless videos and simulations of moving objects - such as a woman walking in Tokyo - through just text prompts.
Meta's LlaMa 3 is expected this year, and these are 5 things we'd like to see
Meta's LlaMa 3 is expected to arrive as early as June, and there's a lot that we want to see from it.
The artificial intelligence LLM race has been slowly heating up since its jumpstart with ChatGPT. We've seen Google's Bard become Gemini, Microsoft's Bing Chat become Copilot, and we've seen Meta release its open source Llama 2 model that anyone can run on their own computer. Now, as the competition advances, Meta is expected to launch Llama 3 later this year — possibly as soon as July according to reports.
Microsoft's new AI plans may include turning you into a cartoon
AI-powered video filters are in the works.
With Microsoft planning to announce new AI-powered features in Build 2024, we're seeing a gradual trickle of rumors and leaks surrounding what the Redmond giant has planned for your PC. One such tidbit appeared in a post on X, and if it turns out to be correct, you'll soon be able to use AI-powered video filters to change yourself into one of three styles.
Google's Gemini 1.5 Ultra will need to compete with GPT-5, not GPT-4
Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro model wowed us, and the Ultra model could be even better.
There's an ongoing arms race in the artificial intelligence sphere, particularly between big players like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google. These three companies are locked into a never-ending battle of advancement, and Google is especially an outsider given that it doesn't use OpenAI's GPT technology at all. Google instead has been using its own home-grown technology, initially starting with PaLM and Bard and now more recently switching to Gemini 1.0 and Gemini 1.5. With Gemini 1.5 Pro already seemingly doing the impossible, we've never been more excited for Gemini 1.5 Ultra.
What is an AI Image Generator and how does it work?
AI image generators have created a lot of buzz recently, but they may be hard to understand. Here's everything you need to know about them.
In 2022, we've seen the advent of some incredible text-to-image generators. The first to set off the big wave was Dall-E 2, with Stable Diffusion arriving a short while later. Since then, we've seen other tools arrive too, including Midjourney, Craiyon, and even TikTok to a certain degree. There are growing concerns when it comes to AI image-generating tools, pertaining primarily to the ethics of such tools when they can generate images of real people in places or situations that they were not actually in.
Does ChatGPT plagiarize?
If you're wondering whether ChatGPT plagiarizes, the answer is a little bit more nuanced than a simple yes or no.
ChatGPT has been making waves over the last year for a number of reasons, particularly in educational and even work-related contexts. It can be used to draft documents, write essays, make plans, and so much more. However, if you're worried about whether ChatGPT can plagiarize, there's no clear answer. If you need a short, cautious answer, then the answer is yes. If you need a more nuanced answer, then the answer is... it's complicated.
