AI NEWS: Apple is reportedly revisiting talks with OpenAI to put AI into iPhone's iOS 18.

Plus, huge developments from Vidu, Figure, OpenAI, Stardust Astribot, Elon Musk, and a new AI Safety Board.

Here's everything going on in AI right now:
According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple is revisiting conversations with OpenAI.

The two are negotiating terms for a potential partnership that would see OpenAI’s features integrated into iOS 18.

This could easily be the next 'ChatGPT moment' for major AI adoption. Image
ShengShu just introduced Vidu, a text-to-video AI model that competes with OpenAI’s Sora.

While it feels like a stretch to call this a true ‘rival’ (16-second vs. 60-second generations feels like a big gap), China’s AI models continue to gain on U.S. leaders.
Figure and @adcock_brett were featured on 60 Minutes, revealing new insights into the startup's humanoids.

This stood out: Brett said it took less than 12 months for Figure to teach their robot to walk since starting the company.

Insane progress.
@adcock_brett OpenAI began rolling out its ChatGPT memory feature, which allows ChatGPT to carry over learnings between conversations.

Users can track memories retained by ChatGPT in the settings → personalization tab.

Cool workflow below by Jeremy:
@adcock_brett Chinese startup Stardust unveiled Astribot S1.

It's an AI humanoid robot capable of performing household tasks like cooking, folding, sorting, and vacuuming.

The company aims for the bots to be comercially available by the end of 2024.
@adcock_brett Elon Musk said Tesla will spend over $10B on AI training and inference this year.

"Any company not spending at this level, and doing so efficiently, cannot compete."

Can't wait for the xAI/Grok collabs.
@adcock_brett A new AI Safety and Security Board was announced, and members include Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Jensen Huang, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, and more.

The board will advise the Department of Homeland Security on deploying AI within U.S. infrastructure.

A mysterious new AI model called “gpt2-chatbot” is going viral.

It was released without official documentation, and there is speculation that it could be OpenAI's next model.

Here's everything we know so far (and how to try it for free):
First, there's a lot to cover here and still many unknowns.

Take the speculation with a grain of salt, and try the model for yourself to see the difference.

As more details unravel, I'll add to this thread.

AI NEWS: Apple is working on an entirely on-device LLM.

Plus, more developments from Meta Llama 3, OpenAI Sora, Drake, Nothing Earbuds, JPMorgan Chase, and Mentee Robotics.

Here's everything going on in AI right now:

Meta’s Llama 3 has ascended the AI model rankings.

On English prompts, the open model topped GPT-4 on the LMSYS LLM leaderboard.

Major milestone for open-source LLMs.
