OPENAI

🤖 OpenAI files trademark for GPT-5

Source: Blockchain News

The Rundown: OpenAI has filed an application for the trademark of “GPT-5” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Key points:

• The application was filed on July 18, 2023, and is currently in process.

• It includes artificial speech, conversion of audio data files into text, voice and speech recognition, and machine-learning-based language and speech processing.

• The application also extends to software for developing and implementing artificial neural networks.

Of note: Back in March, Siqi Chen, founder of Runway quoted: “GPT-5 is scheduled to complete training this December and that OpenAI expects it to achieve AGI.”

We’ll see if this timeline remains true. One thing’s for sure: the world is going to look a whole lot different if so.

TOGETHER WITH MONSTER API

🦙 Fine-tune LLaMA without writing code

The Rundown: Monster API's no-code fine-tuner is a groundbreaking tool that simplifies the complex and time-consuming fine-tuning process of LLaMA.

The Rundown: Meta has just released a new open-source AI codenamed AudioCraft for generating high-quality, realistic audio and music from text.

Details:

• It consists of three models: MusicGen, AudioGen, and EnCodec.

• The models are now open-sourced, enabling researchers and practitioners to train their own models with their datasets.

• The models were trained on extensive data, including 20,000 hours of music owned or licensed by Meta, and public sound effects.

Noteworthy: Many music artists around the world are lobbying against using AI in music, while others such as Grimes encourage its use.

🔎 Google announces BIG AI search updates

The Rundown: Google is adding images AND video to the summary box of AI-powered SGE search results, aiming to create a more colorful and informative experience for those who have enabled this feature in Search Labs.

Key points:

• CEO Sundar Pichai emphasizes SGE as the future of Google Search.

• Specific moments from YouTube videos are now linked in search results.

• Google is adding publish dates to articles in the summary box, and it appears to be testing in-line links within the AI summary.

• According to Google, recent improvements have cut the generation time of AI overviews in half.

Why it matters: Google’s AI endeavors haven’t always gone so smoothly, but it’s clear to see their efforts to continuously improve their AI features.

I, for one, do think they will get it right. Eventually.
