Plus, more developments from Google DeepMind, Nature Medicine, Microsoft, Apple, and gpt2-chatbot.

Here's everything going on in AI right now: Amazon just announced Q, the company’s enterprise AI assistant.

The announcements also come alongside Q for Developers, Q for Business, and a new feature that allows users to create AI apps from prompts using company data.

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.
