A new AI revolution? 🪄
Good afternoon,
Welcome to the second edition of the weekly 5-minute-AI-Newsletter!
Before we dive into the big news of this weeks newsletter, did you know even the Beatles are using AI? Yes, even people your fathers or grandpa’s age are using AI now.
After 50 years since their breakup, the Beatles released a new song and they used AI to bring John Lennon’s voice back to life. Read the full article here.

Train your own AI for more succes
Large Language models like ChatGPT are great for a lot of use cases. But what do these models know about your business or day-to-day job activities? Using AI to make data driven decisions is probably one of the best use cases of AI, but how do you make that happen?
You use a language model that you train on your own data. This database can be build out of PDF’s, Word documents, images, website URL’s or Excel sheets. Use cases can be something like onboarding new employees or using historical sales and finances to analyze and make conclusions which you can then use for forecasting and decisions making.
A populair way to set up this internal AI is to make a database with relevant data and build an AI-agent using applications like Langchain or Autogen. These AI-agents are mostly build on the language models form OpenAI, but some debate open source models like llama 2 or Mistral 7B are better. Building these agents and correctly structure the databases is something you can learn but has a pretty steep learning curve. With the arrival of the new GPT builder from OpenAI this proces might just become a whole lot easier, more on that later in this newsletter…

Updates
🆕 OpenAI just did it again: a new wave of using LLM’s is about to begin 🤖
OpenAI announced several new additions and improvements to their platform during their DevDay event. These include a new GPT-4 Turbo model that is more capable, cheaper, and supports a 128K context window, a new Assistants API that makes it easier for developers to build their own assistive AI apps that have goals and can call models and tools, and new multimodal capabilities in the platform, including vision, image creation (DALL·E 3), and text-to-speech (TTS). OpenAI also reduced pricing across many parts of their platform and doubled the tokens per minute limit for all paying GPT-4 customers. They also introduced Copyright Shield, which will defend their customers and pay the costs incurred if they face legal claims around copyright infringement.
👀 Google investing in OpenAI competitor Anthropic 🚀
Google has announced an expansion of its partnership with Anthropic, an AI safety and research company. The partnership includes collaborations on AI safety standards, the highest standards of AI security, and the use of TPU v5e accelerators for AI inference. Anthropic is now one of the first companies to deploy at scale TPU v5e, which enables it to serve its Claude large language model (LLM) in a performant and efficient manner. The two companies are also working with MLCommons, a non-profit group that creates trustworthy, third-party data about AI systems. The announcement follows the attendance of both companies at the inaugural AI Safety Summit hosted by the UK government at Bletchley Park last week.
🤖 Elon musk about to de-thrown ChatGPT with Grok? 🥇
Elon Musk's new AI company, xAI, has released its first technology, Grok, which is modeled on "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and is designed to answer "spicy questions" that other AI might dodge. Grok is in its early beta phase and is available to a select number of users to test out before the company releases it more widely.
Grok has access to data from X, which xAI said will give it a leg-up. Musk appears to be positioning xAI as a challenger to companies like OpenAI, Inflection, and Anthropic. On an initial round of tests based on middle school math problems and Python coding tasks, the company said that Grok surpassed "all other models in its compute class, including ChatGPT-3.5 and Inflection-1." It was outperformed by bots with larger data troves. Eventually, Grok will be a feature of X Premium+, which costs $16 per month.
Samsung finally joining the AI race 📱
Samsung has announced a new era of Galaxy AI that will be coming to its smartphones. The company has detailed a forthcoming feature called "AI Live Translate Call" that will use artificial intelligence to translate phone calls in real-time. Samsung says that the translations will happen on the device and audio and text translations will appear in real-time as you speak. The company says that Galaxy AI is coming early next year, so it seems likely that Galaxy AI features will be included with Samsung’s Galaxy S24 lineup of smartphones, which are rumored to launch in 2024. Samsung's generative AI model called Gauss will also power features on mobile devices beginning next year, and it is expected to be a key part of the Galaxy S24 lineup. AI-powered features are becoming the next battleground for smartphone makers, and Samsung is not the only company investing in AI. Google and Apple are also investing heavily in AI-powered features for their smartphones.
