Interesting Developments

OpenAI’s Foundry will let customers buy dedicated compute to run its AI models | TechCrunch

OpenAI has recently introduced a new developer platform, Foundry, which enables customers to run the company's newer machine learning models on dedicated capacity. Foundry is designed for customers who require cutting-edge performance for running larger workloads. It offers a "static allocation" of compute capacity for a single customer, allowing them to have full control over the model configuration and performance profile while monitoring specific instances with the same tools and dashboards that OpenAI uses to build and optimize models. The platform also provides some level of version control, allowing customers to decide whether to upgrade to newer model releases, as well as offering "more robust" fine-tuning for OpenAI's latest models.

Spotify rolls out AI-powered DJ feature in the US and Canada | The Line of Best Fit

Spotify has launched a beta version of a new DJ feature in the US and Canada that uses AI technology to create a personalised music selection and commentary about tracks and artists. The feature is available to premium users and utilises OpenAI to improve recommendations based on user feedback.

Opinion | By Launching AI-Boosted Bing, Microsoft Is Putting Money Before Humanity - The New York Times

This opinion piece in The New York Times criticizes Microsoft's release of its AI-boosted search engine, Bing, due to concerns about the bot's potential to spread misinformation and conspiracy theories, as well as its inability to control its behavior. The author argues that Microsoft has violated its own principles of creating "reliable and safe" AI and being transparent in its development. The article calls for regulations to protect society from the ethical risks of AI and for companies to prioritize principles over profit.

Nvidia predicts explosive future for AI even as gaming graphics revenues plummet by 46% | PC Gamer

Nvidia's latest earnings report shows a 46% drop in gaming graphics revenues compared to the same period last year, while data center revenues are up 11%. However, Nvidia is optimistic about the future of AI, with CEO Jensen Huang citing the recent explosion of generative AI models as a significant opportunity for the company. Huang predicts a "torrent of new companies and new applications" emerging from the AI market. While Nvidia's gaming graphics business may recover, it could soon be dwarfed by its burgeoning AI business, raising questions about the company's priorities.

Samsung's Bixby can now clone your voice to answer your calls -

Samsung's Bixby digital assistant can now clone the voice and tone of its users to answer phone calls on their behalf. Users can record different sentences for Bixby to analyze and create an AI-generated copy of their voice and tone. The feature is currently only available in Korean, but Samsung plans to expand it to more languages and other Samsung apps. Additionally, Bixby is getting smarter overall, with improved on-device computing functions and better understanding of intent and context.
