Deep Dive 🔍

• NVIDIA’s job posting shows the company is exploring quantum-generative AI capabilities 🏢 
  
  Recent NVIDIA job postings unveil a bold move into the quantum realm, as they seek software architects for their Quantum Computing Architecture team. This strategic push aims to revolutionize quantum-classical programming, emphasizing the fusion of generative AI with quantum computing for cutting-edge GPU-supercomputing architectures.
  
  

• From graphic design to visual workflows, Canva’s new AI core is changing its business 🖼️ 
  
  Canva, the Australian design powerhouse, defies market shifts with its seamless integration of generative AI, propelling growth by nearly doubling its metrics through an 80 million user surge in the last year. This success, driven by localized content focus and global expansion, highlights AI's pivotal role in boosting user expansion and revenue. Canva pledges a $200 million investment over three years to train AI models with creator content, aiming to minimize creator opt-outs.

• New York Times sues Microsoft and OpenAI for 'billions' 💰️ 
  
  The New York Times isn't pulling punches—suing OpenAI and Microsoft, gunning for billions in damages, alleging their content was swiped to school ChatGPT. The gripe? Millions of articles poached, spinning ChatGPT into a news heavyweight that tangles with the Times. Rallying 2,200 news orgs, the News/Media Alliance joins the Times' chorus, pointing fingers at AI models hungry for journalistic fodder. Joining the 2023 lawsuit bandwagon against OpenAI, this ain't their first rodeo. The Alliance dishes out the need for fair play and journalist payouts, warning that pinching content isn't just illegal but stifles righteous innovation.

• LG's RoboRevolution: ‘Zero Labor Home’ with its smart home AI agent at CES 2024 🤖 
  
  LG steps up its game: Enter the wheelin' wonder, an AI sidekick on wheels about to flip smart homes on their heads! Unveiled on December 27, 2023, at CES in Vegas, this droid's a self-stabilizing, twin-wheel wizard decked out with cameras galore. It spots faces, pets, and stuff while keeping tabs on the room temp and air quality, fine-tuning gadgets as needed. Patrols homes, babysits pets, sniffs out security issues, and even handles the light and window scene. Oh, and it's got manners, greeting you with a mood check to serve up the perfect vibe. Mixing old-school chitchat with free-wheelin' vibes and home-spy skills—now that's the future!

• Alibaba makes AI agents come to life with Make-A-Character 🎭️
  
  Alibaba's Make-A-Character makes a grand entrance: the text-to-3D virtuoso sculpting vibrant 3D personas from mere words! Currently fashioning Asian-esque avatars, but a diverse parade's on its way. What's Make-A-Character? Blending mammoth language mastery with visionary frameworks, transforming text into visuals via Stable Diffusion and ControlNet. These avatars effortlessly groove into animation, all thanks to their customizable nature. Hold onto your seats! Alongside Mach's debut, Alibaba rolls out Richdreamer for 2D to 3D magic, ‘Animate Anyone’ for character vids, and beefed-up language models like Qwen-72B, driving AI innovations.

• Midjourney starts training video models in January, v6 updates coming soon 🎬

  
  Midjourney, steered by CEO David Holz, gears up to train video models come January, expanding on their advanced image model prowess. This strategy echoes Meta's triumph with Emu Video, born from the Emu image model. Brace yourselves for Midjourney's v6 upgrades kickstarting next week, amping up text portrayal and swift responses, bundling in nifty features like inpainting from the v5 era.

• OpenAI competitor Anthropic projects $850 million in annualized revenue 💵 
  
  Anthropic, rivaling OpenAI, foresees a staggering $850 million annual revenue by the close of 2024, a leap from its initial $500 million forecast. This financial boom owes a nod to OpenAI's internal leadership shifts, triggering over 100 of its clients to flock toward Anthropic, seen as a steadier choice. Fueling Anthropic's triumph is its language whiz Claude, peddled via web interfaces and APIs. Fueled by ambitious revenue goals and a hefty dose of Menlo Ventures funding, Anthropic asserts its dominance in the generative AI arena.
