Deep Dive 🔍

• Meta to release two smaller versions of its Llama 3 open-source model next week 🦙
  
  In a strategic move to heighten anticipation, Meta is set to introduce two mini versions of its anticipated Llama 3 language model next week, ahead of the main release in the summer. The open-source language model arena has seen substantial growth, with contributions from Meta, Mistral, Google Deepmind, and numerous emerging entities. Llama 3 will differ from earlier models by being multimodal and significantly larger, with 140 billion parameters, and will entertain more controversial subjects.

• All things Google Cloud Next 2024:
  
  Google Vids AI Tool: Google introduced Google Vids, a new AI-powered video creation tool within Google Workspace. Users can collaborate in real-time and create videos alongside other Workspace tools like Docs and Sheets.
  

  

  
  

  Vertex AI Agent Builder: Google launched Vertex AI Agent Builder to assist in building conversational agents quickly and easily. The tool focuses on instructing AI models to enhance the quality and correctness of answers. Developers can use Vertex AI Agent Builder’s no-code agent building console for building AI agents using natural language prompts or open-source offerings like LangChain on Vertex AI.

Google's Data Sovereignty Focus: Google emphasizes partnerships for data sovereignties, shifting focus from building them independently. This new approach aims to enhance collaboration and data security for customers.

AI-Powered Security Tools: Google introduced new AI-powered security tools including Threat Intelligence and Chronicle for enhanced cybersecurity analysis. These tools offer natural language search capabilities and assist in cybersecurity investigations.

Gemini Code Assist: Google's Gemini Code Assist is an AI code completion tool for enterprises, competing with GitHub's Copilot Enterprise. Gemini Code Assist offers AI-powered assistance to help developers build applications with higher velocity and quality. It includes features like full codebase awareness, code customization, integration services, and ecosystem enhancements.

Nvidia's Blackwell Platform: Nvidia's Blackwell platform is set to arrive on Google Cloud in early 2025, focusing on AI and HPC workloads. It will support high-performance servers for AI and large language model training.

Google Workspace Updates: Google Workspace introduces new features including voice prompts for AI-based features like 'Help me write' in Gmail. Users can now enjoy enhanced capabilities in Gmail, Sheets, and Docs for improved productivity. Docs gets tab support, and full-bleed cover images, and Chat can handle up to 500,000 members. Sheets now offer customizable change notifications and new spreadsheet templates.

Imagen 2, a video clip generator: Google initially launched an AI image generator within Gemini, but retracted it due to issues with diversity misrepresentations. They later introduced Imagen 2 on Vertex AI, targeting enterprises with advanced features such as inpainting, outpainting, and text-to-live images. There’s also Google’s calling “text-to-live images” where you can now create short, four-second videos from text prompts, along the lines of AI-powered clip generation tools like Runway, Pika and Irreverent Labs.

Google Gemini 1.5 Pro: Google introduces Gemini 1.5 Pro, offering a significant upgrade in generative AI capabilities, now in public preview on the enterprise-centric Vertex AI platform, with the ability to process from 128,000 to 1 million tokens for more nuanced data interpretation.

Open-source tools: Google Cloud Next 2024 introduced several open-source tools, including Max Diffusion for diffusion models on XLA devices, Jetstream for executing generative AI models, and MaxTest for text AI on TPUs and Nvidia GPUs, all aimed at enhancing generative AI projects.

• Inside big tech's underground race to buy AI training data 🏃‍♂️ 
  
  The competition among leading tech companies to accumulate extensive online data for AI model enhancement is intensifying, highlighted by significant deals with Shutterstock by Google, Meta, Apple, and Amazon, post-ChatGPT's introduction. These agreements, worth $25-50M, encompass millions of multimedia files, underscoring the soaring demand and varied pricing for AI training data. The shift from web scraping to purchasing access to vast content libraries, like Photobucket's 13B files, raises complex issues around privacy and consent amidst this lucrative data acquisition trend.

• U.S. forges $11B deal with TSMC for Arizona semiconductor plants 💻️ 
  
  President Biden has announced a significant partnership with Taiwanese semiconductor giant TSMC, which involves the construction of three high-tech semiconductor plants in Arizona, backed by $11B in U.S. grants and loans. With TSMC's $65B investment, the deal is expected to generate 25,000 jobs and allocate $50M towards local workforce development, aiming to boost domestic production of cutting-edge semiconductors to 20% by 2030. This move, part of the U.S.'s strategic efforts under the CHIPS Act, is a response to geopolitical tensions and the anticipated rise in AI chip demand.

• Spotify's latest AI feature lets you create playlists with text prompts 🎵 
  
  Spotify is experimenting with an AI-driven functionality named "AI Playlist," enabling users to craft customized playlists through textual instructions. Users can specify preferences like genre, mood, artist, and era, or even mention elements like locations, animals, pursuits, film characters, hues, or emoticons. This innovative feature merges Spotify's customization expertise with AI capabilities and is currently undergoing beta testing, with further development expected in the near future.
