META
🤖 Meta AI Chatbot Coming to WhatsApp & Instagram: What’s New?

Meta is testing its AI chatbot on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger. The large language model is being tested and rolled out through these platforms to selective users in India and Africa currently.

Insights for you:

• This recent action demonstrates the intention to scale its AI offerings by reaching out to large user bases across all of its products. In India, Meta is testing the Meta AI chatbot functionality on WhatsApp in a limited rollout.

• WhatsApp is presently testing the feature in two different methods. Just a few specific countries will be able to use it in WhatsApp’s search box.

• Users’ search terms will stay private and not be shared with Meta AI. The data is kept secret unless and until a user sends the chatbot a request.

ADOBE
🤩 Adobe Premiere Pro is getting generative AI video tools and hopefully OpenAI’s Sora

For its Firefly family of products, Adobe is developing a generative AI video model that will provide new features to its Premiere Pro video editing software.

Insights for you:

• Along with a few planned third-party integrations with Runway, Pika Labs, and OpenAI's Sora models, these new Firefly tools will enable Premiere Pro users to create video, edit it with text prompts, add or remove objects, and make video clips longer—a function similar to Photoshop's Generative Fill feature.

• In contrast to several of Adobe's other statements on Firefly, the company's new video creation tools do not yet have a beta release date.

• Adobe instead calls the third-party AI integrations in its video preview an “early exploration” of what these may look like “in the future.”

REKA
😮 Reka Core LLM Outperforms Claude 3, Gemini, and GPT-4

San Francisco-based AI startup Reka, founded by researchers from Google DeepMind and Meta, introduced their latest multimodal language model called Reka Core. It is described as the "largest and most capable model" offered by the company, and thousands of GPUs are used in its training process.

Insights for you:

• Reka Core comes with several features such as a 128K Context Window, Multilingual Capabilities and Reasoning.

• Reka Core has highly competitive benchmarks across several metrics compared to GPT-4, Claude 3 Opus, and Gemini 1.5 Pro.

• Available for use in API Access and Reka Playground.

OPENAI
😎 GPT-4 Turbo with Vision Now Available via API

OpenAI announced the enhanced and updated version of the GPT-4 Turbo model, which now comes with Vision capabilities. It enables the model to recognize images and provide information about them. With image processing, the new multimodal GPT-4 Turbo model is now widely accessible through the API.

Insights for you:

• One API request is all that is needed to analyze text and images and derive conclusions using OpenAI’s “more intelligent and multimodal” model.

• The vision enhancement is mainly built around two new features namely JSON and function support calling.

• Several users and brands are utilizing the API access to Vision’s capabilities such as extracting unstructured texts and data from the images and web.

MISTRAL AI
💪 Meet Mixtral 8x22B: This New AI Model Is Very Powerful

French start-up Mistral AI silently launches Mixtral 8x22B, its latest open-source LLM model. By committing to open-source development, Mistral not only challenges proprietary models but also solidifies its position as a major player in the AI market.

Insights for you:

• The Mixtral 8x22B model has an astounding 176 billion parameters and a context window with 65,000 tokens.

• The model is more affordable and easier to use even if it only needs about 44 billion active parameters for each forward pass despite its enormous magnitude.

• Despite the lack of official benchmarks from the AI company, users of the Hugging Face community tested it and shared benchmark results for the 8x22B model. The outcomes seem to become closer to the closed models developed by Google and OpenAI.

GOOGLE
👂️ Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro Got Ears, Can Now Listen to Audio

At its Next 2024 event, Google announced major updates for its Gemini 1.5 Pro model, but the new listening capabilities stand out! Google Gemini 1.5 Pro can now listen to uploaded audio files and interpret them without referring to written transcripts.

Insights for you:

• Google Gemini 1.5 Pro can now listen to uploaded audio files and interpret them without referring to written transcripts.

• It can summarize the audio, extract necessary information, answer direct questions, provide reasoning, and explain concepts.

• The new feature can be used to process information from recorded interviews, videos and earning calls.

GROK
🔍️ New Use Cases of Grok-1.5V: It Can Now Understand Images

Elon Musk-backed Grok can now process a wide variety of visual input data like images, documents, and diagrams! Grok-1.5V is their first-generation multimodal model that can now process visual information as well. It will be available to existing Grok users soon.

Insights for you:

• Grok 1.5V outperforms GPT-4 in text-reading, mathematics, and real-world question-answer. The real-world QA capabilities might just be the most impressive feature Grok has displayed yet.

• A standout feature is its ability to convert logical diagrams into executable code.

• Other impressive features include understanding images, data extraction, problem-solving, and much more.
