• Stability AI launches an AI-powered music generator 🎵
  
  London-based startup Stability AI has launched Stable Audio, a cutting-edge tool that crafts top-notch commercial music. 🎧 The technology learns from audio files and their details, giving you custom control over song length and content. Trained by Harmonai, its 1.2 billion-parameter model allows for text-prompted and timed creations. The tool uses "latent diffusion" to fine-tune the music based on your text inputs. 🚗 Beyond music, it can even create real-world sounds like a car zooming by. Stability AI collaborates with AudioSparx, sharing profits with musicians and ensuring the highest ethical standards in AI. 🛡

• Arm soars to $72B valuation on second trading day after stellar IPO 📈
  
  Arm Holdings' stock jumps 6%, pushing its valuation to $72 billion just a day after its blockbuster IPO. Arm began trading Thursday with shares in its blockbuster IPO priced at $51 each, valuing the company at about $54.5 billion. Despite concerns about exposure to China and market competition, the company continues to outpace chip giant Nvidia.

• Microsoft open sources EvoDiff, a novel protein-generating AI 🧬
  
  EvoDiff is a general-purpose framework that can generate diverse proteins without requiring structural information 📊 about the target protein. It can be used to create enzymes for therapeutics, drug delivery methods, and industrial chemical reactions ⚗️. The framework is based on a diffusion model trained on data from different species and functional classes of proteins. EvoDiff can fill in the gaps in existing protein designs and synthesize disordered proteins. Further research and testing are needed to scale up the framework for commercial use 📈.

• OpenAI establishes initial EU base in Dublin, gears up for regulatory hurdles 🌍
  
  OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, lands in Dublin and recruits professionals in law, privacy, and media relations. This EU expansion is aimed at navigating the European regulatory landscape more effectively. Lobbying and engagement activities in Europe are set to ramp up. 🏢 

• Databricks skyrockets to $43B valuation after $500M Series I round 💰 🚀 
  
  Databricks, a big player in data analytics and AI, has secured over $500 million in their latest funding round, pushing their worth to a whopping $43 billion. Even as many startups are facing lower valuations, Databricks added $5 billion to its own. Heavy hitters like Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, and Nvidia chipped in, underscoring the company's expertise in AI and data science. With a revenue stream of $1.5 billion and over 10,000 global customers, Databricks aims to further grow before going public. 📈

• German military invests to create AI 'environment' for testing weapons and strategies in combat 🎮
  
  Germany's Defense Ministry is investing a lot of money in what they call a "military metaverse." It's basically like a high-tech video game where they can test their weapons and strategies safely. They're using advanced AI to make it as realistic as possible, even teaching it to think more like humans using “third-wave” AI algorithms. The goal is to improve how their weapons work together during battles. It is funded by the German Defense Ministry, GhostPlay aims to create unpredictable conditions to improve military planning and preparation.

• Nvidia challenges AWS in cloud biz with innovative AI Infrastructure Service 🥊 
  
  Nvidia is entering the cloud game, competing directly with AWS. They've partnered with major cloud giants like Microsoft, Google, and Oracle to offer businesses the tools they need for AI model training. Nvidia covers the server costs and leases them to AI developers. This strategic move gives Nvidia direct access to customers, which could disrupt AWS and others. Their objective? To demonstrate top-notch GPU server setups and bolster their position in the AI hardware market. Impressive clients like Adobe, Getty Images, and ServiceNow are already on board. 🌟 
  

• Google nears release of Gemini AI to challenge OpenAI 🔜 
  
  Google has shared an early version of its conversational AI, Gemini, with a select group of companies. 🌟 Gemini aims to rival OpenAI's GPT-4 model and will be integrated into Google's consumer services while also being offered to businesses through its cloud unit. 🚀💼
