• NYT’s legal challenge over content scraping could reset OpenAI's ChatGPT ⚖️
  
  The New York Times may sue OpenAI, leading to the possible destruction of the ChatGPT dataset and fines up to $150,000 per content breach. The Times’ updated terms of service (TOS) prohibit AI companies from scraping their content for training AI models. This high-profile conflict over AI's use of proprietary content could set a precedent for copyright protection in the AI landscape. 🏛️

• Arthur launches tool to optimize LLM selection 🛠️
  
  Machine learning startup Arthur unveils "Arthur Bench," an open-source tool designed to help companies find the best large language model (LLM) for their specific data needs. The tool allows users to compare models like Anthropic and OpenAI, using prompt testing to choose the best-fit model. With metrics like accuracy and readability, it streamlines AI comparison for businesses. Financial services and car manufacturers are leveraging it, along with collaboration with Amazon Web Services and Cohere.

• Adobe’s Firefly: Global launch for AI image editing 🌎📸
  
  Adobe's AI-driven image editor, Adobe Express with Firefly, is now out of beta and free in web browsers. Designed for effortless content creation in over 100 languages, it doesn't require a Creative Cloud subscription for basic use. Premium access is available for subscribers, and a mobile version is coming soon. 🎨 

• Alibaba Cloud unveils AI digital human video generation tool 🎬
  
  Alibaba Cloud's Aliyun has launched Live Portrait, an innovative AI tool that generates talking digital human videos. Upload a photo and text or voice to create videos for diverse applications such as live streaming and corporate marketing. The tool’s innovative approach breaks traditional generation network limitations, offering broad applications and the potential for cost-efficient enterprise production. This tool is only offering text and audio-driven modes right now but is set to enhance efficiency across various sectors.
  
  
  

• BeFake: an AI-based social media app with AI-Generated fantasy images 🎨
  
  Kristen Garcia Dumont, the former CEO of Machine Zone, has created BeFake, an AI-powered social media app that enables users to design fantasy versions of themselves. More than just selfies, it fosters a community of creativity and authenticity. The most creative faux identities gain traction in the app's community, with users able to share images from prompts and react to their favorites. Given the founder's track record, BeFake may be a trendsetter in the AI and social media landscape.

• Sakana AI: A startup inspired by nature founded by Ex-Google researchers 🐟
  
  Sakana AI, founded by two former top Google AI researchers in Tokyo, takes a novel "swarm" approach by combining smaller AI models. This method seeks to emulate the capabilities of giant models, aiming to cut data needs and costs. With co-founder Llion Jones's background in transformer architecture, the startup's innovative approach may set a new trend in AI scaling.
