OPENAI

🔥 ChatGPT gets a collab boost with Canvas

Image source: OpenAI

The Rundown: OpenAI just launched Canvas, a new ChatGPT interface release that enables more collaborative writing and coding projects beyond simple chat interactions with new editing features, shortcuts, and added contextual knowledge.

The details:

• Canvas opens in a separate window alongside the chat, allowing users to directly edit and refine specific aspects of an output.

• New features include inline feedback, targeted editing, and shortcuts for tasks like adjusting text length, changing reading levels, or debugging code.

• In tests, using GPT-4o with Canvas led to a 30% accuracy and 16% quality boost compared to using the model without the interface.

• Canvas is rolling out in beta to Plus and Team users, with a broader release expected later.

Why it matters: ChatGPT’s first major UI change takes a leap towards more nuanced, moldable interactions — while also inheriting novice-friendly features seen in other rivals with easy-to-use shortcuts. The simple chatbox was a good first step for human-AI interactions, but more power and capabilities require new collaborative processes.

GOOGLE

🔎 Google rolls out ads in AI Overviews

Image source: Google

The Rundown: Google just announced the introduction of ads to its AI Overview search summaries and the launch of several new AI-powered search capabilities, such as video understanding and voice input.

The details:

• Ads will now appear within and alongside AI Overviews for ‘relevant queries’ on searches in the United States.

• The redesigned AI Overview format will now add prominent in-text links to better source websites for the curated information.

• New AI-organized search results pages are rolling out that surface relevant, more diverse content — starting with recipe and meal inspiration queries.

• Google Lens is getting video understanding capabilities and voice input options for visual searches.

• The Android ‘Circle to Search’ feature also lets users identify songs playing in videos or streaming content.

Why it matters: Google’s first AI Overview experience didn’t exactly go as planned. However, with heavy competition from Perplexity and chatbot rivals, Google’s search future clearly has AI at its core, regardless of the bumps along the way. But infusing paid ads into AI Overviews could be a slippery slope – will Gemini be next?

OPENAI DEVDAY

🎤 Exclusive DevDay Q&A with OpenAI’s Olivier Godement

Image source: Rowan Cheung / The Rundown

The Rundown: We caught up with OpenAI Head of Product Olivier Godement after he led the main keynote at Tuesday’s DevDay event for some exclusive insights on the new Realtime API (Godement’s responses are summarized for brevity).

On the Realtime API: Godement says that “Until right now, voice has been a second activity“, and that the Realtime API is going to make AI significantly more accessible because many people in the real world prefer to speak over reading or texting.

On real-world use cases: Godement believes the Realtime API will have a “no-brainer” impact on customer support, education, and coaching. He also believes there will be many ‘non-obvious‘ use cases that are hard to predict now.

On pricing: Converted to seconds, audio input is ~6 cents per minute, and output is ~24 cents per minute. While currently high, Godement confirmed that there are “huge pricing decreases on the roadmap.”

On the Twitter misinterpretation: Godement also mentioned a misinterpretation of pricing after the announcement—when users mentioned how much it costs per hour, they multiplied cost as if the input/output were constant. However, whenever humans talk, there is silence—it’s not a constant flow. The model won’t charge you for silence.

On future modalities: For now, Realtime API only supports text and audio. However, Godement believes that image and video are the next milestones on the road to agents that can perceive the world just like a human. He also mentioned that image and video understanding specifically, will “turbocharge customer support” when the model has the ability to understand pixels on a screen in real-time.

AI REGULATION

❌ California’s controversial AI safety bill vetoed

Image source: Associated Press

The Rundown: California Governor Gavin Newsom just vetoed S.B. 1047, a groundbreaking AI safety bill that would have imposed stricter regulations on Silicon Valley AI firms and the release of new models in the state.

The details:

• The bill would have required safety testing for AI models before their public release and held AI companies liable for any ‘severe harm’ (over $500M in damages) caused.

• Tech giants, including OpenAI and Google, VCs, and politicians like Nancy Pelosi lobbied heavily against the bill, arguing it would stifle innovation.

• The bill had notable support from Elon Musk, Anthropic, the ‘Godfather of AI’ Geoffrey Hinton, and over 120 Hollywood actors, directors, and workers.

• Newsom said the bill was ‘well-intentioned’ but flawed, vowing to consult with AI experts to craft guardrails for future legislation efforts.

Why it matters: As the U.S. federal government continues to lag in AI regulation, states are stepping up to fill the void. While S.B. 1047 is shelved for now, the debate over AI governance is far from settled—and will likely continue to pit AI safety advocates against those pushing for rapid development throughout Silicon Valley.

OPENAI

💰 OpenAI secures SoftBank funding as Apple exits raise

Image source: Midjourney

The Rundown: Despite Apple reportedly no longer participating in OpenAI’s upcoming funding round, the AI giant has secured billions of dollars from Japanese investment giant Softbank, Microsoft, and Thrive Capital.

The details:

• OpenAI is rumored to be raising up to $6.5B via convertible notes, at an eye-popping $150B valuation.

• Microsoft plans to participate with an additional $1B, adding to its previous $13B investment in the AI giant.

• Investment firm Thrive Capital is also investing $1B, with a reported option to add an additional $1B the following year based on revenue goals.

• The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is no longer involved in the funding round, despite partnerships with OpenAI and its inclusion in Apple Intelligence.

• The raise comes amid OpenAI’s controversial restructuring to a for-profit entity, with Sam Altman denying rumors that he will receive equity in the move.

Why it matters: OpenAI’s latest raise and for-profit turn is another saga in its convoluted and controversial business structure. Despite the recent high-profile departures and continued drama, the ChatGPT maker is still clearly seen as a top horse to bet on in the AI boom—and there is no shortage of major players who want in.

💧 Liquid AI unveils efficient new LFM models

Image source: Liquid AI

The Rundown: Liquid AI just introduced a new series of AI models called Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs), challenging the traditional transformer architecture while achieving state-of-the-art performance and enhanced memory efficiency at smaller model sizes.

The details:

• The company released its LFMs in 1.3B, 3B, and 40B parameter sizes, based on a new architecture utilizing computational units rooted in dynamical systems rather than traditional transformers.

• The models surpass transformer-based counterparts like Meta's Llama 3.2 and Microsoft's Phi-3.5 on major benchmarks like MMLU.

• LFMs require significantly less memory for inference, particularly with long-context tasks — supporting up to 32k tokens while maintaining memory efficiency.

• The models are not open-source and are only currently available via the company’s Lambda (Chat UI and API) and on Perplexity AI.

Why it matters: Liquid AI's LFMs are a significant shakeup from the transformer architecture standard that has dominated models since 2017. The benchmarks show that there is more than one formula for achieving state-of-the-art AI performance—and could open new possibilities for more efficient and accessible AI systems.

EXCLUSIVE Q&A WITH LOGAN KILPATRICK

GEMINI

✨ Google rolls out two new Gemini 1.5 models

Image credits: Kiki Wu / The Rundown

The Rundown: Google just released two new upgraded versions of Gemini 1.5 across the Gemini API, including 1.5 pro-002, which achieved state-of-the-art performance across math benchmarks, and 1.5-flash-002, which makes big gains in instruction following.

Cheung: “Can you give us the rundown on everything being released and why it actually matters?”

Kilpatrick: “Today, we're rolling out two new production-ready Gemini models and also improving rate limits, pricing for 1.5 Pro, and some of the filter settings enabled by default. Really, all these are focused on enabling developers to go in and build more of the stuff that they're excited about.”

Cheung: “What exactly makes the new models so unique?“

Kilpatrick: “Math, the ability for the models to code, which is obviously super important for people who care about developer stuff. It's been a lot of listening and sort of iterating on the feedback that we've been getting from the ecosystem.“

Kilpatrick added: “The linear amount of progress that we've seen with, and in some cases, exponential in different benchmarks with this iteration of Gemini models… has been incredibly exciting"

Why it matters: Google’s new Gemini 1.5-pro-002 model achieves state-of-the-art performance across challenging math benchmarks like AMC + AIME 24, and MATH. This means that the model is able to solve advanced mathematical problems and tasks that require deep domain expertise, a major hurdle from most previous AI models.

You can try AI Studio and the new Gemini 1.5 models for free here.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

💎 Gemini 1.5 compared to other AI models

Image credits: Kiki Wu / The Rundown

The Rundown: Google also announced significant improvements to accessibility for developers building with Gemini models, including a 50% reduced price on 1.5 Pro, 2x higher rate limits on Flash and 3x higher on 1.5 Pro, 2x faster output, and 3x lower latency.

Cheung: “In addition to the new updates, higher rate limits, expanded feature access, and high context windows, what other capabilities does Gemini 1 .5 offer that developers should be really excited about?“

Kilpatrick: "Part of my perspective is the financial burden to build with AI is one of the rate limiters of this technology being accessible… our strategy to combat this is we have the most generous free tier of any language model that exists in the world”

Kilpatrick added: "One of the big differentiators is you can come to AI Studio, fine-tune Gemini 1.5 Flash for free, and then ultimately put that model into production and pay the same extremely competitive, per million token cost. There's no incremental cost to use a fine-tuned model, which is super differentiated in the ecosystem.”

Why it matters: Google's latest Gemini updates significantly lower the financial barrier for AI development while boosting performance, especially in math. With these updates, Gemini now tops the LLM leaderboard in terms of performance-to-price ratio, context windows, video understanding, and other LLM benchmarks.

The pace of innovation: Google’s Gemini project is only around a year old. Google was the first to ship 1M context windows (and 2M) and context caching, and they’ve been making rapid progress ever since.

THE AI ERA

🚀 The age of the AI-first developer

Image credits: Kiki Wu / The Rundown

The Rundown: AI is helping developers tackle significantly harder problems faster while simultaneously lowering the entry barrier for non-developers to contribute to new innovation and even build their own AI apps.

Cheung: “I think what's really, cool with the age of AI, is seeing anyone, even people who are not technical, being able to build their own AI apps. If someone were to start from zero, is there a tool stack, documentation, courses, videos, or maybe tutorials from Google that you would recommend?“

Kilpatrick: "To your point…As someone who was formerly a software engineer, I really can go and tackle 10x more difficult problems now.”

Kilpatrick added: “For the person who's never coded before, they're now able to tackle like any problem with code because they have this co-pilot in their hands.”

Kilpatrick added: "[For beginners] ai.google.dev is our default landing page that also links out to the Gemini API documentation. On GitHub, we have a Quickstart repo where you can literally run four commands have a local version of AI Studio and Gemini running on your computer to play around with the models.”

Why it matters: With AI as an assistant, some developers are tackling 10x more challenging software problems—which also means 10x the speed of improvements and 10x the innovation, for those who use the tech wisely. Google also has great resources to help even complete beginners get started in less than 5 minutes.

USE CASES

🌎 Real-world use cases of Gemini 1.5

The Rundown: Gemini 1.5's multimodal capabilities allow a host of real-world applications that other models can't match, such as processing and analyzing hour-long videos or entire books—thanks to its impressive 2M token context window.

Cheung: “Can you share an example or some use cases of how customers are using these experimental models of Gemini in the real world?”

Kilpatrick: “Taking in video, I think, is one of the coolest things… Being able to go into an AI studio and just drop an hour-long video in there and ask a bunch of questions is such a mind-blowing experience. And to be able to try it for free.”

Kilpatrick added: "The intent was to build a multimodal model from the ground up…the order of magnitude of important use cases for the world, for developers and for people who want to build with this technology, so many of them are multimodal."

Why it matters: Gemini 1.5's 2M context window allows it to process and analyze long-form content like long videos, entire books, and lengthy podcasts, opening new possibilities for content analysis and interaction. For a full look at its potential, check out Google's list of 185 real-world gen AI use cases from leading organizations.

AI AGENTS

📈 Proactive AI agent systems

Image credits: Kiki Wu / The Rundown

The Rundown: The future of AI is likely to shift from reactive to proactive systems, with AI agents capable of initiating actions and asking for clarification or permission, much like human assistants do today.

Cheung: “What do you think the most surprising way AI will change our daily lives in the future?”

Kilpatrick: "With most AI systems today, it's one way. Sort of, I prompt the system and then it gives me a response back or I tell it to do something and it sort of does what I might instruct it to do.”

Kilpatrick added: “I think the future is, in the medium term, the system actually asking me for permission or clarification on things that I might want it to go do and really solving those problems.”

Kilpatrick added: “It's actually very interesting to me that very few AI systems, if any today, ask me how they can help in an actual, not surface-level way that ends up being meaningful.“

Why it matters: By shifting from purely reactive to proactive systems, AI could become more like a true “Her-like“ assistant, anticipating needs and offering solutions before being prompted. At the current state, no AI systems do this effectively, but as AI continues to advance with projects like Astra, this is likely the next stage for AI.

• Google is releasing a pre-trained checkpoint of AlphaChip, sharing the model weights to encourage further research and development in AI-assisted chip design.

• AlphaChip’s impact extends beyond Google, with companies like MediaTek adopting the technology for their most advanced chips used in smartphones and other devices.

Why it matters: AlphaChip creates a powerful feedback loop: better AI models design better chips, which enable the training of even more advanced AI models, which design even better chips, and so on. This self-reinforcing cycle could dramatically accelerate AI progress, and at a level that any human will struggle to compete with.

The Rundown: Google just upgraded its NotebookLM tool, adding support for YouTube videos and audio files, along with easier sharing of Audio Overviews—its latest viral AI hit that turns notes, PDFs, Google Docs, and more into AI-generated podcasts.

The details:

• NotebookLM now supports public YouTube URLs and audio files, allowing users to analyze videos, lectures, and audio alongside existing text sources.

• The tool leverages Gemini 1.5’s multimodal capabilities to summarize key concepts from videos and transcribe audio.

• A new sharing feature allows users to generate public links for Audio Overviews, making collaboration even easier.

• These updates aim to streamline tasks such as creating study guides, analyzing multiple perspectives on issues, and extracting important information from video, audio, and text.

Why it matters: It’s a big day for Google. The company’s viral hit with NotebookLM is now even more impressive with access to YouTube videos and audio files. YouTube is an endless treasure chest of how-to guides, lectures, documentaries, and entertainment—and now, anyone can consume hours worth of videos in minutes with AI.

AI RESEARCH

🪨 Archaeologists make big discovery using AI

Image source: University of Yamagata

The Rundown: Archaeologists from Japan’s Yamagata University, in collaboration with IBM Research, used AI to uncover 303 previously unknown geoglyphs near Peru’s famous Nazca Lines, nearly doubling the number of known figures at the site.

The details:

• The newly discovered geoglyphs, dating back to 200 BC, depict various animals and humans, including parrots, cats, monkeys, killer whales, and even decapitated heads.

• AI combined with low-flying drones dramatically accelerated the discovery process, accomplishing nearly a century’s worth of work in six months.

• These smaller geoglyphs (10-25 feet across) provide new insights into the transition from the Paracas culture to the Nazca culture.

• The findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, demonstrate AI’s ability to help greatly improve archaeological research.

Why it matters: Is there anything AI can’t help us accomplish? The amount of time saved using low-flying drones and artificial intelligence is worth repeating: 100 years worth of work in six months. The ways in which AI is going to impact our lives are still vast and largely unknown, as this discovery proves.

META

👓 Meta unveils AR xAI glasses, new model, and more

Image source: Reality Labs

The Rundown: At its Connect 2024 conference, Meta revealed a host of new AI announcements, including its new Orion AR x AI glasses, Llama 3.2, AI features for Reels, and major updates to Meta AI—including a new Voice mode.

The details:

• Orion AR glasses prototype boasts a sub-100g weight, wide field of view displays, and advanced features like voice control and hand tracking, taking Meta over 10 years to build.

• Meta introduced Llama 3.2, its first major vision model capable of understanding both images and text, with 11B and 90B parameter versions.

• New super-small 1B and 3B parameter Llama models were also announced, optimized for on-device use in smartphones and potentially future glasses.

• New AI features are coming to Instagram, including automatic video dubbing and lip-syncing for creators for any language and AI-generated content, ‘Imagined for you‘ on Feeds.

• Meta announced Voice Mode, similar to ChatGPT’s recent Advanced Voice Mode, which allows users to use their voice to talk with Meta AI on Messenger, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram DMs.

Why it matters: It’s difficult to overstate the significance of Meta Connect 2024. With new open-source models, the most advanced AR glasses ever made, and nearly 500 million monthly active Meta AI users now getting AI Voice chat directly onto their favorite platforms—the tech giant is showing, once again, never bet against Zuck.

😱 OpenAI CTO exits amid rumors of non-profit removal

Image source: Fortune

The Rundown: Mira Murati, (previously) CTO at OpenAI, just announced her decision to leave the company after six and a half years amid rumors that the company is removing its non-profit control and giving CEO Sam Altman equity.

The details:

• Murati is apparently leaving to create time and space for her own exploration, while focusing on ensuring a smooth transition.

• This transition aligns with a recent report that OpenAI will restructure its core business into a for-profit benefit corporation with Sam Altman and the non-profit part of the company getting a minority equity position.

• Murati expressed deep gratitude for her time at OpenAI, highlighting recent achievements like speech-to-speech technology and OpenAI o1.

• CEO Sam Altman responded with appreciation for Murati’s contributions, saying the company will ‘soon’ announce transition plans.

Why it matters: This is another big shakeup for OpenAI after losing Andrej Karpathy in February, Ilya Sutskever in May, and Greg Brockman (who’s on a sabbatical) in August. With Sam Altman as the last high-profile leader left, the world has many questions—but has only been answered with the classic OpenAI-style ‘soon‘.

AI RESEARCH

🧪 AI breakthrough in treating rare diseases

Image source: Midjourney

The Rundown: Harvard Medical School researchers recently developed an AI model called TxGNN that can identify existing drugs for repurposing to treat rare and neglected diseases.

The details:

• TxGNN identified drug candidates from nearly 8,000 existing medicines for over 17,000 diseases, many without current treatments.

• The model outperformed leading AI drug repurposing tools by nearly 50% in identifying candidates and was 35% more accurate in predicting contraindications, a specific situation in which a medcine should not be used.

• TxGNN uses a novel approach that identifies shared features across multiple diseases, allowing it to extrapolate from well-understood conditions to poorly understood ones.

• The researchers have made the tool freely available to encourage its use by clinician-scientists in the search for new therapies, especially for rare and untreated conditions.

Why it matters: Another week, another insane medical breakthrough for AI. While we still need years of clinical validation and approvals before widespread use, TxGNN has the potential to save thousands of lives and improve the lives of people who likely thought a treatment for their specific disease would never come.

🗣️ OpenAI rolls out Advanced Voice Mode

Image source: OpenAI

The Rundown: OpenAI is finally rolling out an enhanced Advanced Voice Mode (AVM) to all ChatGPT Plus and Teams subscribers this week, featuring new voices and improved functionality to make AI interactions feel more natural and personalized.

The details:

• The initial rollout for OpenAI’s new Advanced Voice Mode started in July, but it only ever reached a select few ChatGPT users.

• During the delay, OpenAI updated its AVM to integrate Custom Instructions and Memory, allowing for more personalized interactions and conversation recall.

• OpenAI also improved AVM’s ability to understand accents and claims smoother, faster conversations, while adding five new nature-inspired voices (and removing the “Sky” voice that sounded like Scarlett Johansson).

• AVM will not yet be available in several regions, including the EU, the UK, Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein.

Why it matters: With OpenAI CEO Sam Altman writing about AI agents and superintelligence, ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode feels more relevant than ever. If we’re going to interact with AI every day—it has to sound and feel human—which is exactly what AVM is attempting to accomplish.

Editors note: If you still don’t have access to Advanced Voice Mode on your ChatGPT app, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

• Pricing for Gemini 1.5 Pro has been reduced by over 50% for both input and output on prompts under 128K tokens, while rate limits have been increased significantly.

• The models boast 2x faster output and 3x lower latency compared to previous versions, with improvements in long context understanding and vision capabilities.

• Google also updated its default filter settings, giving developers more control over model configuration for their specific use cases.

Why it matters: Google is iterating quickly and pushing the boundaries of affordability for developers building with AI. While this isn’t Gemini 2 — it is a significant upgrade over the experimental models and will help builders create faster, smarter, cheaper applications.

• Stability AI’s CEO, Prem Akkaraju, formerly led visual effects company WETA Digital, highlighting the firm’s focus on creative applications of AI.

• The move comes as Hollywood grapples with AI’s potential, with some studios embracing the technology while others express concerns over content rights.

Why it matters: Just days after Lionsgate teamed up with AI startup Runway to create a custom video generation model, this move by one of Hollywood’s biggest directors could signal a significant shift in how influential filmmakers are thinking about navigating AI.
