š® Weekly Dose of AI #3: GPT-4 / Google Workspace AI / GPT-3 on your phone?
Good morning,
Another huge week in AI, with releases from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic. Suddenly everyone is integrating generative AI into their products as fast as possible. Itās going to take a while for the dust to settle, and itās not yet clear if this will become a gimmick or a game changer for many products.
Notion, for example, has had generative AI integrated for a while, but despite using Notion daily, I donāt really use the AI features that much.
Anyway, to the newsletterā¦.
In todayās newsletter:
šĀ GPT4 arrives
šļøĀ Google Workspace integrates AI
š±Run GPT3 on your phone?
š Things to Know
1ļøā£ GPT-4 is here!
After much speculation, GPT-4, the next gen model from Open AI, has finally arrived. Check out the launch video here. Itās going to be available through the ChatGPT interface, though itās not exactly clear when. One of the big changes is that it can now handle images, as you can see in the image above. Image capabilities will be rolled out slowly, starting with a partner called Be My Eyes, a charity that helps blind people, very cool!
To illustrate how big of an improvement this next gen is, GPT passed the LSAT with top 10% marks. For contrast, GPT3.5 was bottom 10%.
Not to be left out, Anthropic have also released early access to Claude, their AI assistant, on the same day. What a coincidenceā¦.
2ļøā£ Google goes all-in on bringing AI to Workspace
Not to be left out of the announcements this week, Google announced they are integrating AI across their Workspace products. This includes helping you write Docs, Emails and Presentations. Google has been a little more cautious than itās rivals so far in releasing AI to unsuspecting consumers, and this release is the same, for better or for worse. For now it looks like it will initially be enterprise customers and then Google One customers.
For developers, they also announced access to their AI models through Google Cloud.
3ļøā£Ā Run GPT-3 on your laptop, phone, or Raspberry Pi?
Could GPT be about to have itās Stable Diffusion moment? What does that even mean? Well, if you remember 6 months or so ago (a lifetime in AI), OpenAI released Dalle-2, the image generation model. Shortly after, Stable Diffusion was released as open-source software, and itās ecosystem has since grown much larger than the Dalle ecosystem.
Now a company called Together has releasedĀ OpenChatKit, anĀ alternative to ChatGPT that is fully open source. Of course people started running it on all sorts of things including a Pixel 6 phone and even a Raspberry Pi.
Check out the web version of OpenChatKit here.
