OPENAI
🎤 OpenAI Introduces Voice Engine, AI that can Clone Your Voice in 15 Seconds

OpenAI leveled up its Generative AI game when it unveiled its brand-new voice cloning tool, Voice Engine. It can generate natural-sounding speech only from text input and a single 15-second audio sample. Fearing misuse, the company has decided not to release the tool just yet.

Insights for you:

• The voices are surprisingly of highly realistic quality and also represent emotions to an extreme degree.

• Voice Engine hasn't been trained or optimized using user data. This is partially due to the transient nature of speech generation produced by the model, which combines a transformer and a diffusion process.

• Comes with several features such as assistance with reading and translation.

• The company has chosen to restrict Voice Engine's availability to a small number of early testers for the time being, citing worries over potential misuse and the accompanying risks, despite the technology's potentially revolutionary potential.

HUME
💕 Meet EVI, the World’s First Conversational AI with Emotional Intelligence

The world of generative AI was highly amazed when Hume unveiled their conversational AI named EVI (Empathic Voice Interface). Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) by Hume is an emotional intelligence conversational AI that can recognize the user’s speech tone and distinguish itself by giving each interaction more nuance and customizing its responses.

Insights for you:

• The EVI can identify more than 24 distinct emotions from a person’s voice.

• EVI is set to be released to the general public in April 2024 but anyone can try the demo by visiting demo.hume.ai.

• The reactions from tech enthusiasts who tried Hume’s EVI were mixed, where some highly praised the state-of-the-art voice assistant but others criticized the model for some shortcomings.

CLAUDE 3
👑 AnthropicAI's Claude 3 Surpasses GPT-4

Anthropic's Claude 3 Opus large language model (LLM) surpassed OpenAI's GPT-4 (which powers ChatGPT) for the first time on Chatbot Arena, a popular crowdsourced leaderboard used by AI researchers to gauge the relative capabilities of AI language models.

Insights for you:

• Since their debut on the Chatbot Arena leaderboard in May 2023, GPT-4 models have maintained their position at the forefront consistently.

• Claude 3's rise showcases growing competition in the LLM space, with many already replacing ChatGPT with Claude 3 in their daily workflows.

ADOBE
🌐 The Rise of Decentralized AI: Tech Founders’ New Obsession

A crucial topic in the world of AI for the last few months has been Decentralized AI. Many believe that AI systems need to keep evolving, and one of the first steps towards evolution is decentralization. Recently, Emad Mostaque, Stability AI founder and chief executive, stepped down from his role to pursue decentralized AI.

Insights for you:

• An artificial intelligence (AI) solution that employs blockchain technology to distribute, analyze, and store data across a network of nodes is called a decentralized artificial intelligence (DAI) system.

• It puts into question the current state of AI development, which has been controlled by a few powerful companies that can afford to invest in enormous data centers and processing capacity.

• Decentralizing the development and uses of AI systems is becoming increasingly important as they progress. AI that is permissionless and trustless can spur innovation in a variety of sectors.

STABILITY AI
👨‍💻 Stability AI Releases Stable Code Instruct 3B

Stability AI just released Stable Code Instruct 3B, an instruction-tuned Code Language Model based on Stable Code 3B. By using natural language prompting, Instruct 3B can handle various tasks such as code generation, software development, and mathematics-related queries

Insights for you:

• This model enhances code completion and has support for natural language interactions, aiming to improve the efficiency of programming, math, and software development-related tasks.

• It outperforms comparable models such as Codellama 7B Instruct, and DeepSeek-Coder Instruct 1.3B in various coding-related tasks.

• The weights and code for Stable Code Instruct 3D are available publicly on HuggingFace from where users can test it model for non-commercial uses.
