Deep Dive 🔍

• Microsoft brings Llama 2, GPT-4 Turbo, Mixtral 8x7b, and more to the Azure AI Cloud 🌐
  
  Azure AI is setting new industry standards with its commitment to providing open, cutting-edge models and ensuring model choice for developers. At Microsoft Ignite, over 25 announcements were made, including the addition of 40 new models to Azure AI and partnerships with leading AI firms. Key highlights include the public preview of Meta’s Llama 2 in Models as a Service and GPT-4 Turbo with Vision. Azure AI is also expanding its model catalog with six new models and introducing fine-tuning capabilities. Furthermore, the platform offers a benchmarking system for easier model selection and emphasizes responsible AI development with new safety features.

• The future of AI: Mastering Superalignment with weak supervisors 🤖
  
  In a significant advancement in AI, OpenAI's research on superalignment shows that weaker AI models can supervise stronger ones, exemplified by a GPT-2 model controlling GPT-4. To bolster this field, OpenAI has initiated a $10 million grants program and made their research code publicly available.

• ChatGPT Plus subscriptions resume 🔁
  
  OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman announces the resumption of new ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, following a temporary suspension due to high demand and GPU capacity challenges after introducing GPT-4 Turbo. ChatGPT Plus offers advanced features like GPT-4-Turbo and DALL-E 3, while also addressing GPT-4 performance issues. The service is experiencing a significant rebound in web traffic, particularly in educational use.

• Stability AI's Stable Zero123: Next-Gen 3D modeling from text and images 🖼️
  
  Stability AI presents Stable Zero123, an enhanced model adept at creating 3D models from text and images, an improvement over the Zero123-XL. It utilizes an optimized Objaverse dataset, elevating results and efficiency by 40 times. While solely for research use, Stable Zero123 can render panoramic images for 3D model generation, requiring three studio frameworks and 24 GB of VRAM for operation.

• Google releases MedLM models for healthcare AI applications 🩺
  
  Google's new MedLM brings specialized generative AI models to healthcare, available in the US on Vertex AI and as previews abroad. The models, boasting 85% accuracy from Med-PaLM 2, are versatile for hospital use, drug development, and chatbots. Google's collaboration with companies like HCA Healthcare in pilot projects indicates an expanded future capability with Gemini-based model integration.

• Axel Springer and OpenAI form content partnership for ChatGPT news and AI training 🤝 
  
  In a unique collaboration, Axel Springer and OpenAI have teamed up to integrate instant news search capabilities from Springer's renowned media outlets, including Politico and Business Insider, into ChatGPT. This enhances ChatGPT's functionality, providing users with summarized updates on global news, including content from paid sources, with due credit.

• Instagram introduces GenAI powered background editing tool 🖼️ 
  
  Instagram introduces 'Backdrop' in the US, a tool to creatively alter Story backgrounds with engaging prompts like 'surrounded by puppies'. Tap the 'Backdrop' icon on a new Story to start, and once posted, use the 'Try it' sticker to share and inspire friends to experiment with Backdrop.

• Spotify confirms test of prompt-based AI playlists feature 🎶 
  
  In a new experiment, Spotify allows users to create playlists using AI technology, as unveiled in a TikTok video, accessible via the 'Your Library' tab. Users engage with an AI chatbot, inputting their preferences or choosing from preset prompts for personalized playlist creation. Despite Spotify's silence on the specifics and launch plans, the test underscores the company's commitment to AI innovation, including its AI DJ launch and potential future uses in music production and personalized advertising.
  
  
  

• Midjourney launches alpha version for AI image generation on the web 👨‍💻 
  
  Midjourney launches an alpha web-based version for AI image generation, a shift from its Discord roots, targeting users with a history of over 10,000 images. This version boasts an intuitive interface with adjustable sliders and tags for refining images, plus easy image prompt integration. The anticipated v6 version, expected to enhance prompt accuracy, contrasts with the current features of OpenAI's DALL-E 3.
