OpenAI's "Strawberry" AI model set for early launch ๐
OpenAI's new AI model, "Strawberry," is expected to launch in the next two weeks, ahead of schedule. This model emphasizes logical reasoning and will take 10-20 seconds to process responses, enhancing its ability to tackle complex tasks like math and coding. Strawberry will be available as a standalone option in ChatGPT, featuring a new pricing structure, though early testers noted some limitations in speed for simpler queries. ๐
Meet Pixtral 12B: Mistral's first model for text and images ๐ผ๏ธ
Mistral has debuted Pixtral 12B, its first multimodal model capable of processing text and images. With 12 billion parameters and a size of around 24GB, it can answer image-related queries and perform tasks such as image captioning. The model is freely available for download under an Apache 2.0 license and can be accessed via GitHub and Hugging Face. Future testing will take place on Mistral's platforms, but the source of its training data has not been revealed. ๐
Meet visual intelligence: Appleโs answer to Google Lens ๐ธ
Introducing Visual Intelligence, Apple's latest feature in the iOS 18 suite that turns your iPhone camera into a knowledgeable companion. By holding the Camera Control button on iPhone 16 models, users can instantly learn about their surroundings without any images being stored. This innovative tool can identify objects, read signs, and even assist with product searches. Expected to launch later this year, it's Apple's exciting foray into AI-powered object recognition. ๐
Adobe previews Firefly's text-to-video and image-to-video capabilities ๐บ
Adobe has teased its upcoming generative AI video tools, including the ability to create video clips from still images using the Firefly AI video model. Users can generate video clips by describing them with text and adjust the results using simulated camera controls for angles, motion, and shooting distance. The generated video quality is comparable to OpenAI's Sora model, with a maximum length of five seconds. Firefly promises to be 'commercially safe' by using openly licensed and public domain content. ๐ฅ

In a recent Instagram post, Taylor Swift announced her support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential race, spurred by AI-generated images that misleadingly endorsed Donald Trump. Swift expressed her concerns about the misuse of AI tools in politics and urged her followers to register to vote. She also reaffirmed her commitment to important issues like LGBTQ+ rights and reproductive health. This endorsement marks a significant step in Swift's political activism. ๐
