A new study from Microsoft found GPT-4 demonstrates incredible performance on radiology tasks.

GPT-4 summaries were comparable or preferred to human radiologists.

Researchers highlighted integrating GPT could aid disease interpretation, real-world data, patient education.

If you thought Pika Labs was it for AI video today - you're in for a surprise.

Stability AI just released SDXL Turbo — a new model for real-time text-to-image generation.

The model creates images updating at lightning speed as users type prompts.

Intuit just announced that TurboTax is being infused with the latest generative AI to match users with experts and translate offerings.

The new updates aim to customize tax prep for all filers — and take some of the pain out of the rough filing process.

I think China's second DeepSeek moment is here.

This AI agent called 'Manus' is going crazy viral in China right now.

Probably only a matter of time until it hits the US.

It's like Deep Research + Operator + Claude Computer combined, and it's REALLY good.

We noticed Manus gaining some traction @TheRundownAI and wrote about it in the newsletter this morning

Shortly after publishing, one of the cofounders reached out with an invitation code. Thanks @peakji!

So I dropped my work for the morning (emails can wait) and tested it out:

@TheRundownAI @peakji For my first test, I asked Manus to create a biography on Rowan Cheung and deploy a website based on that biography

Insanely impressive watching it go through my social channels, browse articles, and deploy the site

And it was 100% accurate, info up to date as of today
