Microsoft: Partnerschaft mit dem KI-Startup Mistral
Das französische KI-Startup Mistral erhält eine Investition von Microsoft und kündigt neue Modelle an. Nach OpenAI ist es Microsofts zweite KI-Partnerschaft.

Google has released an open AI model called Gemma, which it says is created using the same research and technology that was used to build its Gemini AI models. The company says Gemma is its contribution to the open community and is meant to help developers "in building AI responsibly." As such, it also introduced the Responsible Generative AI Toolkit alongside Gemma. It contains a debugging tool, as well as a guide with best practices for AI development based on Google's experience.

The experimental AI feature is available in English for US-based Chrome users, providing suggestions for completing online reviews, forms, messages, and more.

On Thursday, OpenAI once again shook up the AI world with a video generation model called Sora.

The demos showed photorealistic videos with crisp detail and complexity, based off of simple text prompts. A video based on the prompt "Reflections in the window of a train traveling through the Tokyo suburbs" looked like it was filmed on a phone, shaky camera work and reflections of train passengers included. No weird distorted hands in sight.

OpenAI just dropped an AI bombshell with its new video generating model Sora.

The text-to-video diffusion model is capable of minute-long videos that are so realistic, it looks like the real thing. Reactions on X can be divided into two camps: "Is Sora going to make video production obsolete?" and "How can I try it?

Meta et IBM réunis pour promouvoir une approche open source du développement de l’IA
Technologie : L’alliance pour l’IA, qui compte 50 membres, promeut une IA responsable et open source. Google, Microsoft et OpenAI ont une vision différente.

Das KI-System namens PRISM AI ermittelt die Wahrscheinlichkeit, in den nächsten sechs bis 18 Monaten an einem PDAC zu erkranken. Dann könnten Betroffene noch vor dem Auftreten von Symptomen regelmäßige Vorsorgeuntersuchungen vereinbaren. So sollen eine Früherkennung und Heilung möglich werden. In ersten Tests übertraf das System alle bisherigen Diagnosestandards. Es wurde in Zusammenarbeit von Forschern des Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) und der Strahlenonkologin Limor Appelbaum vom Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston entwickelt.

MIT Technology Review’s What’s Next series looks across industries, trends, and technologies to give you a first look at the future. You can read the rest of our series here.

This time last year we did something reckless. In an industry where nothing stands still, we had a go at predicting the future. 

Restraints required
Companies selling AI models and services clearly understand there's a problem. They refer to "guardrails" put in place around foundational models to help them stay in their lane – even if these don't work very well. Precautions of this sort would unnecessary if these models didn't contain child sexual abuse material and a panoply of other toxic content.

It's as if AI developers read writer Alex Blechman's viral post about tech companies interpreting the cautionary tale "Don't Create the Torment Nexus" as a product roadmap and said, "Looks good to me."

Of course there are older literary references that suit AI, such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or Pandora's Box – a particularly good fit given that AI models are frequently referred to as black boxes due to the lack of transparency about training material.

Qu'est-ce que Gemini ? Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur la nouvelle IA surpuissante de Google
Technologie : Google vient de publier son modèle d'IA le plus puissant à ce jour. Mais que peut-il faire et surtout que peut-il faire pour vous ? Voici tous les détails de cette annonce qui bouscule le leadership d'OpenAI en matière d'IA générative, grâce au modèle multimodal.

What is Google Gemini?
Gemini is a new and powerful artificial intelligence model from Google that can understand not just text but also images, videos, and audio. As a multimodal model, Gemini is described as capable of completing complex tasks in math, physics, and other areas, as well as understanding and generating high-quality code in various programming languages. 

It is currently available through integrations with Google Bard and the Google Pixel 8 and will gradually be folded into other Google services. 

Apple, which many had considered very conservative in its approach to AI, quietly released frameworks and model libraries designed to run on its chips and maybe bring generative AI apps to MacBooks. 

The company’s machine learning research team released MLX, a machine learning framework where developers can build models that run efficiently on Apple Silicon and deep learning model library MLX Data. Both are accessible through open-source repositories like GitHub and PyPI. 

OpenAI lässt ChatGPT ins Internet
ChatGPT ist nicht länger auf das Wissen bis September 2021 beschränkt. OpenAI hat dem Chatbot Zugang zum Web gegeben.

Microsoft has announced a new multiyear partnership with Mistral, a French AI startup that’s valued at €2 billion (about $2.1 billion). The Financial Times reports that the partnership will include Microsoft taking a minor stake in the 10-month-old AI company, just a little over a year after Microsoft invested more than $10 billion into its OpenAI partnership.

Google Gemma: because Google doesn’t want to give away Gemini yet
/ Gemma 2B and Gemma 7B are smaller open-source AI models for language tasks in English.

Groq, an AI chip company, wants everyone to forget about Elon Musk’s snarky chatbot with nearly the same name, Grok. Lightning-fast demos from Groq went viral this weekend, making current versions of ChatGPT, Gemini and even Grok look sluggish. Groq claims to provide “the world’s fastest large language models,” and third-party tests are saying that claim might hold up.

Videos auf Sprachbefehl: ChatGPT-Firma stellt neue KI vor – und hat selbst Angst davor

Diese Frau gibt es nicht: OpenAIs neue Video-KI Sora erstellt Videos nach demselben einfachen Prinzip, wie es ChatGPT mit Texten kann

Mit ChatGPT brachte OpenAI die KI-Revolution in das Bewusstsein des Mainstreams. Nun hat die Firma mit Sora eine neue KI vorgestellt, die komplette Videoclips aus Textbefehlen bauen kann. Doch man geht lieber auf Nummer sicher.

First text, then images, now OpenAI has a model for generating videos.

On Thursday, the makers of ChatGPT and DALL-E announced Sora, a text-to-video diffusion model. As of today, Sora is available to red teamers, or experts who adversarially test the model for harms and risks. Per the announcement, it is also available to a select group or visual artists, designers, and filmmakers "to gain feedback on how to advance the model to be most helpful for creative professionals.

Code Llama 70B can generate and debug larger programming strings than Meta’s previous models.

Eine Frage, die viele beschäftigt: Wie bekomme ich die besten Antworten von einer KI? Mittlerweile gibt es im Netz zahlreiche Tipps und Tricks, um die Qualität der Antworten von ChatGPT, Google Bard und Co. zu verbessern.
Eine Forschergruppe der KI-Universität in Abu Dhabi wollte es genau wissen und hat Ende 2023 in einer Studie die Eigenheiten der Sprachbots wissenschaftlich untersucht. Darüber berichtete auch die "FAZ".

Mojo (verfügbar für Mac, Linux und Windows) kombiniert die Benutzerfreundlichkeit von Python mit der Leistung von C und verbessert so die Programmierbarkeit von KI-Hardware und die Erweiterbarkeit von KI-Modellen.

Tout le monde s’attendait à ce que Google dévoile un jour une IA capable de surpasser ChatGPT. Google Bard n’était qu’un brouillon : voici Gemini, le nouveau modèle de langage de grande taille (LLM) qui risque de faire parler de lui dans les prochains mois. On vous dit tout à son sujet.

Meta’s new AI image generator was trained on 1.1 billion Instagram and Facebook photos
"Imagine with Meta AI" turns prompts into images, trained using public Facebook data.
BENJ EDWARDS - 12/6/2023, 10:52 PM

On Wednesday, Meta released a free standalone AI image generator website, "Imagine with Meta AI," based on its Emu image synthesis model. Meta used 1.1 billion publicly visible Facebook and Instagram images to train the AI model, which can render a novel image from a written prompt. Previously, Meta's version of this technology—using the same data—was only available in messaging and social networking apps such as Instagram.

If you're on Facebook or Instagram, it's quite possible a picture of you (or that you took) helped train Emu. In a way, the old saying, "If you're not paying for it, you are the product" has taken on a whole new meaning. Although, as of 2016, Instagram users uploaded over 95 million photos a day, so the dataset Meta used to train its AI model was a small subset of its overall photo library.
