Deep Dive 🔍

• Lights, camera, AI-ction: Meet Google Vids 📽️
  
  Google is testing a new AI-powered video creation app called Vids within its Workspace Labs. This tool aims to streamline the process of creating multimedia presentations by utilizing user data and templates. Vids offers a range of features, including a library of royalty-free stock media, an in-app recording studio, and AI-generated voiceovers and music. The app also allows for editing existing presentations to improve quality. Currently in a limited testing phase, Vids is part of Google's broader initiative to integrate more AI-based features into its Workspace suite.
  

  

  
  

• OpenAI's Strawberry project reportedly cracks over 90% of tough math contest problems 🍓
  
  OpenAI’s secretive project, codenamed "Strawberry," aims to revolutionize AI by enhancing its reasoning and autonomous task execution. Inspired by Stanford's "Quiet-STaR" method, this model combines language models, planning algorithms, and reinforcement learning. Early internal tests show Strawberry scoring over 90% on the MATH benchmark, indicating significant advancements in mathematical and reasoning capabilities. 📝 🌟
  

• Text-to-Tune: Instruct-MusicGen revolutionizes music editing 🎶 
  

  Sony AI and academic researchers have developed Instruct-MusicGen, an AI system that modifies music using text prompts. Built on the open-source MusicGen model, it excels in precise editing tasks like adding, removing, or separating tracks. Instruct-MusicGen achieves these capabilities with only a small increase in parameters and training steps. The system's code, model, and weights are freely available to the public. This innovation opens up new possibilities for AI-assisted music editing for both amateurs and professionals.
  

  

• Google allegedly tracking AI content with ‘RacterScores,’ says SEO expert 🔎
  

  Google may be tracking AI-generated content on websites, despite claiming content origin doesn't matter. SEO expert Juan González Villa discovered references to "racterScores" in leaked Google search documents, potentially indicating artificial content likelihood. This AI classification value appears in a module containing website ratings and labels. The name "Racter" might reference an early ChatGPT predecessor. While Google maintains that great content is key regardless of its source, this finding suggests they might be measuring AI-generated content anyway. 🕵️‍♂️📊
  

  

• Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Now with double the writing power! 📝
  

  Anthropic has significantly enhanced Claude 3.5 Sonnet's capabilities by doubling its maximum output token limit from 4096 to 8192 in the Anthropic API. This upgrade is a game-changer for users engaged in extensive writing and coding tasks, addressing a long-standing need. Currently in beta, this feature is available only through the API and console. However, given Anthropic's track record of swift updates, it's likely that this improvement will soon make its way to claude.ai, making longer outputs accessible to a broader user base. 🖋️💻

• YouTube Music rolls out AI features: Search with sound and create custom radio 🎵 
  
  YouTube Music is launching AI features like "Sound Search" and "conversational radio." Sound Search lets users find songs by singing, humming, or playing a tune, with options to play or save. The conversational radio, for U.S. premium users, creates custom stations based on natural language prompts. This feature is ideal for those who can hum a tune but can’t remember the title, enhancing personalized music experiences. 🎵🌟
