Deep Dive 🔍

• SearchGPT: OpenAI's AI search engine to challenge Google 🌐
  
  OpenAI's new AI search engine prototype, SearchGPT, promises to deliver timely answers by blending powerful AI models with internet information. SearchGPT, initially available to 10,000 test users, organizes search results into summaries with attribution links and allows for follow-up questions. Powered by GPT-4, it aims to challenge Google’s search dominance and reshape user interaction with online information, while also raising concerns about data privacy and SEO's future.

• Runway reportedly trained on ‘thousands’ of YouTube videos without permission 🚨📹
  
  Runway's AI text-to-video generator was trained on a vast dataset, including YouTube videos and pirated films from sources like Netflix and Nintendo. Former employees revealed the use of web crawlers and proxies to gather content. Supported by Alphabet and Nvidia, Runway launched Gen-3 Alpha for creating diverse AI videos. Controversy surrounds their secretive dataset, raising concerns about policy violations. Other companies like OpenAI and Nvidia also train AI models on YouTube videos, with varying transparency.
  
  

• Mistral's Large 2: The AI underdog challenging industry giants 🚀
  
  Mistral has launched Large 2, a new AI model that rivals recent models from OpenAI and Meta with only 123 billion parameters. Despite its smaller size, Large 2 excels in code generation and math, featuring a 128,000 token context window and support for 12 languages and 80 coding languages. Mistral claims it minimizes hallucinations and produces concise responses. Available on Le Chat and major cloud platforms, it requires a paid license for commercial use. This launch puts pressure on AI giants like OpenAI and Google.
  
  

  

• Microsoft Bing introduces AI-powered search experience 🔍
  
  Microsoft's Bing is launching a generative search feature that combines traditional search results with AI-generated content, using LLMs for dynamic layouts, answer summaries, and related sections. The system reviews millions of sources to improve user intent matching. This feature is being tested on a small scale, with feedback collected via thumbs up/down icons. Early data indicates it maintains website clicks, supporting a healthy web ecosystem, but its impact on SEO for creators and businesses is uncertain.

• Anthropic's ClaudeBot violates iFixit's anti-scraping policies 🚫
  
  Anthropic's ClaudeBot web crawler violated iFixit's Terms of Use by overloading their servers, causing disruption. iFixit prohibits content reproduction without permission and responded by updating their robots.txt file to add a crawl-delay extension. Other companies, such as Read the Docs and Freelancer.com, reported similar issues with ClaudeBot's aggressive scraping. This incident highlights the challenges in managing web crawlers, with some AI companies ignoring robots.txt exclusions, complicating data protection efforts.
  
  

  

• Google's AI wins silver at Math Olympiad 🥈
  
  Google DeepMind's AI systems, AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2, achieved a silver medal-equivalent score at the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad, solving 4 out of 6 problems. This is a significant improvement from previous AI attempts that solved only 1 in 100 past IMO problems. AlphaProof uses a fine-tuned Gemini model for complex problem-solving, while AlphaGeometry 2 solved a challenging geometry problem in just 19 seconds. This milestone highlights AI's growing capability in advanced reasoning, with potential applications in various fields.
