FRESH AI NEWS

Sam Altman lays out plan for GPT-5 👀 

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently shared detailed plans for the upcoming GPT-5 model during a roadmap update on X. Here are the key highlights 👇️ 

GPT-4.5 (Orion)

• Internally referred to as "Orion," GPT-4.5 will be OpenAI's last "non-chain-of-thought" model.

• Reports suggest that GPT-4.5 could be up to 100 times more powerful than GPT-4.

• The model is being trained using synthetic data provided by the o1 reasoning model.

GPT-5

• GPT-5 aims to unify OpenAI's GPT-series and o-series models into a single, more advanced system.

• The model will incorporate voice interaction, a visual "canvas" tool, integrated search, and deep research capabilities.

• Free-tier users will get unlimited access to GPT-5 at a "standard intelligence" setting, while Plus and Pro subscribers will have access to higher intelligence levels.

• Altman mentioned that GPT-5 is expected to be released within "weeks / months," following the release of GPT-4.5.

Altman emphasized that OpenAI wants to simplify its product offerings and make AI "just work" for users, eliminating the need for users to choose between different models.

Apple to partner with Alibaba in China? 🤔 

Apple has partnered with Alibaba to enhance AI capabilities in iPhones sold in China. Here are the key details:

• Alibaba's AI models will power on-device AI features such as voice recognition, real-time translation, and personalized recommendations for Chinese iPhone users.
  

• By partnering with Alibaba, Apple can navigate China's regulatory landscape more effectively, addressing concerns over foreign technology and data security.
  

• This partnership is crucial for Apple as it seeks to regain market share in China, where it has faced increasing competition from domestic brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, and Oppo.
  

• Future Plans: Apple is also reportedly working with Baidu to offer visual intelligence features and potentially a Chinese version of Siri.

Do you think Apple will be able to regain its market share in China? 🤔 

ChatGPT becomes (slightly) less restricted ✅ 

OpenAI has recently removed certain content warnings from ChatGPT. These warnings used to indicate when responses might violate OpenAI's terms of service. The change was intended to reduce "gratuitous/unexplainable denials" and improve user experience ✅ 

Nick Turley, head of product for ChatGPT, stated that users should now be able to use ChatGPT as they see fit, as long as they comply with the law and don't attempt to harm themselves or others.

Despite the removal of warnings, ChatGPT will still refuse to answer certain objectionable questions or respond in a way that supports blatant falsehoods 🤷 

The move may be in response to political pressure, as some critics have accused AI-powered assistants of censoring conservative viewpoints 👀 

Anthropic gearing up for a major launch 📈 

According to a _report from The Information, Anthropic is gearing up to release its next major AI model within weeks. This new model is described as a "hybrid" that can switch between "deep reasoning" and fast responses 👀

The upcoming model will allow developers to control costs by introducing a "sliding scale" since deep reasoning capabilities consume more computing resources.

The model reportedly outperforms OpenAI’s o3-mini-high “reasoning” model on some programming tasks and excels at analyzing large codebases and other business-related benchmarks 📈 

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei hinted at new models in an interview, emphasizing their focus on creating reasoning models that are better differentiated.

YouTube will let you put AI-generated video clips in Shorts 📽️ 

YouTube is rolling out a new feature that allows users to incorporate AI-generated video clips into their Shorts. This update integrates Google's Veo 2 AI video model with YouTube's Dream Screen tools, enabling users to create custom video clips based on text prompts ✅ 

Users can also select styles, lens effects, and cinematic elements to tailor the generated clips to their needs.

Veo 2 understands real-world physics and human movement, making the generated videos more detailed and realistic.

The feature is currently available in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, with plans to expand to more regions 🌏️
