APPLE
📱 Apple and OpenAI discuss integrations
Image source: Bloomberg
The Rundown: According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple is revisiting conversations with OpenAI about integrating the company’s AI into the coming iPhone iOS 18 update.
The details:
Apple and OpenAI are negotiating terms for a potential partnership that would see OpenAI’s features integrated into iOS 18.
The news comes ahead of June’s WWDC event, which is expected to reveal the tech giant’s major AI announcements.
Apple is also exploring a deal with Google to license Gemini, potentially striking agreements with both AI giants.
Why it matters: Apple’s AI era is coming, and all the leading companies might be coming along for the ride. With OpenAI, Google, and Apple’s own AI potentially integrating into the new iOS, Apple has the potential to start the next 'ChatGPT moment' for major AI adoption by putting AI directly into the hands of its 1.4B+ iPhone users.

SHENGSHU AI
🎥 Chinese firm reveals Sora ‘competitor’
Image source: ShengShu
The Rundown: Chinese AI firm ShengShu just introduced Vidu, a text-to-video AI model that reportedly rivals OpenAI’s unreleased Sora in capability and performance.
The details:
Vidu can generate high-quality, 16-second videos at 1080p resolution from text prompts.
Vidu’s development started in 2022 with a proprietary architecture that predates Sora’s DiT workflow.
A live demonstration in Beijing showed the model’s ability to simulate real-world details such as accurate lighting, shadows, facial expressions, and more.
Why it matters: While it feels like a stretch to call this a true ‘rival’ to Sora (16-second vs. 60-second generations feels like a big gap), China’s AI models continue to gain on U.S. leaders. With Sora still unreleased to the public, its promise is still largely unrealized — opening the door to the competition.

OPENAI
🧠 OpenAI rolls out ChatGPT memory
Image source: OpenAI
The Rundown: OpenAI began rolling out its ChatGPT memory feature to a larger group of Free and Plus users, giving ChatGPT a new ability to carry over learnings between conversations.
The details:
ChatGPT with memory enabled can remember details and preferences shared by users across chat conversations.
Users can teach ChatGPT to remember specific information by explicitly prompting it (e.g. prompt: “remember this for future chats“).
Users can also track memories retained by ChatGPT in the settings → personalization tab.
Why it matters: Retaining memory across chats is a major unlock, ideally eliminating the need to restart new chats and lengthy conversations. But as we’ve seen with other features like GPTs and Custom Instructions, these releases are often a work in progress — with usefulness that might not be immediately apparent to all users.

TESLA
🤖 Elon Musk: Tesla is an AI company
Image source: Tesla
The Rundown: Elon Musk provided new updates on Tesla’s Optimus autonomous robots during the company’s 2024 Q1 earnings call — stating that Tesla should be thought of as an AI or robotics company, not an automaker.
The details:
Musk said he believes Optimus will be ‘more valuable than everything else [in the company] combined’.
He revealed that Optimus should be doing ‘useful tasks’ in Tesla factories by the end of the year and sold externally by the end of 2025.
A new graphic featured Optimus at the top of Tesla’s ecosystem chart, with the robots accounting for ‘a majority’ of the company’s long-term value.
Tesla’s shares surged following the call despite missing earnings expectations.
Why it matters: While many still look at Tesla and think of cars, Musk’s AI and robotic visions are operating on a grander scale. The confident predictions on Optimus also show where the company is heading — with the ‘sentient’ humanoid robot at the center of Musk’s futuristic plans.

Sakana’s model merging involves ‘breeding’ hundreds of model generations, with the most successful ones becoming ‘parents’ for the next.
The model supports Japanese text prompts and can generate culturally relevant images, aiming to make genAI more accessible in the country.
Why it matters: Sakana’s evolutionary model merging technique was already demonstrating unique ways to improve LLMs — and EvoSDXL-JP now shows the same process can apply across boosting image generation.

HOLLYWOOD & AI
🎬 Hollywood begins AI cloning
Image source: Xangle Apps
The Rundown: Leading Hollywood talent agency CAA has reportedly been testing an initiative called CAA Vault, allowing A-list clients to create AI clones of themselves to open new creative opportunities.
The details:
CAA partnered with AI firms to scan clients’ bodies, faces, and voices, creating AI replicas for uses like reshooting, dubbing, and stunt double superimposing.
CAA's goal is to eventually make the tech available industry-wide, not just to its clients.
Hollywood has already been bracing for AI’s impact, with Tyler Perry even halting studio expansions after seeing OpenAI’s Sora video capabilities.
Why it matters: While the industry grapples with AI’s coming implications, CAA is taking proactive measures to help clients benefit from the shift. As models continue to improve, the difference between hiring Ryan Gosling or his AI replica may become imperceptible to the average fan.

AI & MUSIC
🎤 Drake posts AI-powered diss tracks
Image source: Midjourney
The Rundown: Drake just posted "Taylor Made Freestyle", a new diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar featuring AI vocals of rappers Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg.
The details:
Drake's track uses AI to create verses that convincingly sound like Tupac and Snoop Dogg taking shots at Kendrick Lamar.
A diss track using Lamar’s vocals went viral last week, fooling fans after it turned out to be AI-generated by 23-year-old Sy the Rapper.
“Taylor Made Freestyle” is the second ‘Drake’ song of the weekend, with another called ‘Push Ups’ released earlier that carried additional AI speculation.
Why it matters: The inability to distinguish human-created music from AI generations is happening faster than anybody expected, and some of the world’s most popular musicians publicly leveraging the tech is sure to raise some serious questions about music’s AI future.

AI RESEARCH
🧠 Report: AI surpasses humans
Image source: Stanford University
The Rundown: Stanford University released its 2023 AI Index report that tracks worldwide trends in AI — revealing that AI has surpassed human-level performance on the majority of significant benchmarks.
The details:
AI now exceeds human performance on benchmarks for tasks like image classification, reading comprehension, visual reasoning, and more.
Many benchmarks have become obsolete due to AI’s acceleration, with researchers rushing to develop more tests to measure capabilities.
Closed-source models still lead (for now), with the AI industry still dominated by major players due to the increase in training costs.
LLMs are also becoming more truthful and less prone to "hallucinations".
Why it matters: The most staggering part of this report is that it doesn’t even cover 2024, which has already seen major model advances like Claude 3, Llama 3, and more to come. As quickly as things are moving, each year is likely going to be magnitudes crazier — whether the world is ready or not.

AI RESEARCH
👨⚕️ GPT-4 nears expert eye doctor analysis
Image source: Midjourney
The Rundown: A new study from the University of Cambridge found that OpenAI's GPT-4 model performs close to the level of expert ophthalmologists in analyzing eye conditions and suggesting treatments.
The details:
GPT-4, GPT-3.5, PaLM 2, LLaMA, and expert and trainee ophthalmologists were tested on 87 multiple-choice questions.
GPT-4 scored 60/87, higher than the average scores of trainees (59.7) and junior doctors (37) but slightly lower than the expert’s average of 66.4.
While the study is newly published, the testing occurred in mid-2023, meaning LLM capabilities available now likely already exceed the models used.
Why it matters: GPT-4 is already performing near the level of the average expert eye doctor. With additional LLM advances, capabilities will only be pushed higher, massively increasing accessibility to healthcare — especially in settings where access to specialists may be limited (or non-existent).

💊 AI accelerates Parkinson’s treatment
Image source: Midjourney
The Rundown: Researchers from the University of Cambridge just developed an AI method to quickly find potential treatments for Parkinson's disease.
The details:
The AI screens millions of compounds to pinpoint those that prevent a key protein from forming harmful clumps.
The most promising compounds identified by the AI are then tested in the lab, and the results are fed back into the model for further refinement.
This iterative process led to the discovery of five highly potent compounds that are hundreds of times more effective than previously reported options.
The AI method accelerates the initial screening process 10x and reduces costs by 1000x.
Why it matters: AI’s ability to speed up and lower the cost of uncovering new treatments brings hope that some of the world’s most challenging health problems will eventually have a solution. As models and compute power continue to increase, humanity may find itself in a new golden age of medical discovery.
