AI NEWS: Google DeepMind just introduced an AI agent that plays video games with you.

Plus, more developments from OpenAI Sora, Figure, Anthrophic, Devin, Oracle, and Elon Musk.

Here's everything going on in AI right now:

Google DeepMind just introduced SIMA, an AI agent that can follow natural language instructions to perform tasks across video games.

SIMA is a glimpse into the future of gaming, where AI agents will become dynamic sidekicks/companions rather than just opponents.

OpenAI CTO Mira Murati revealed in an interview with the WSJ that Sora was trained on publicly available and licensed data.

She also revealed that the model will be released later this year.

Figure just unveiled a new demo integrating with an OpenAI vision-language model.

The robot can now engage in natural conversations, visually interpret its surroundings, and autonomously execute tasks.

Anthropic released Claude 3 Haiku, "the fastest and most affordable model in its intelligence class"

It's available via API for devs at a million tokens for just $0.25.

World-class AI models just got 90% cheaper.

Speaking of Claude, @dr_cintas found a way to generate animations from code generated directly from the chatbot.

He's doing a full tutorial in The Rundown tomorrow!

@dr_cintas Cognition AI just introduced Devin, an autonomous AI agent that can write entire software projects based on prompts.

If it lives up to hype, Devin could be the first true look into a future where anyone can spawn an AI worker, no coding skills required.

@dr_cintas Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said on the company’s earnings call that he and Elon Musk are collaborating.

The duo will develop an AI-powered application for farms, helping to plan, predict, and increase agricultural output.

@dr_cintas That's it for this week's news in the world of AI.
