  • Mistral AI releases free Mistral 7B: Competitor to LLMs 🥊 

    Mistral, a French AI startup, has launched Mistral 7B, a free-to-use language model that rivals existing large models but at a lower computing cost.

  • Google launches opt-out tool for AI training 🔐

    Google introduced a new tool, Google-Extended, allowing website owners to exclude their content from AI training without affecting search rankings. 🛡️ This empowers publishers to maintain control over their content, especially in sensitive areas. Update your site’s robots.txt and decide how you want your data used in the evolving landscape of AI training versus web indexing. The tool works with Google's AI models like Bard and Vertex. Websites can still be crawled and indexed by Googlebot, ensuring visibility. 🤝 Offering this choice aims to strengthen trust between website owners and Google.
