IS OPENAI KILLING CHATGPT? 🤯

OpenAI is opening a big can of worms! 🪱

What’s up? OpenAI is reportedly set to release its next major AI model, codenamed “Orion,” by December.

Want the details? This new model is expected to be up to 100 times stronger than GPT-4, marking a significant leap in AI capability (whatever that means). Unlike OpenAI’s previous models, this model will not be introduced through the ChatGPT platform. Instead, it will initially be available to select companies, allowing them to integrate the model into their own products. This seems to imply that OpenAI is turning their focus away from ChatGPT, at least for this update. It remains unclear whether this model will officially be named “Orion,” “GPT-5,” or adopt a different name.

What else? Sam Altman hinted at the release of Orion with a recent X post (above). According to The Verge, if you ask ChatGPT o1-preview what Altman’s post is hiding, it will tell you that he’s hinting at the word Orion, which is the winter constellation that’s most visible in the night sky from November to February. While some see this sort of cryptic tease as funny, others would prefer more transparency.

GOOGLE MAKES DESPERATE ANNOUNCEMENT 🙃

“If you ain’t first, you’re last.” (Ricky Bobby)

What’s up? Google has announced the development of “Project Jarvis,” an AI-powered software system that can control web browsers to complete basic tasks.

How will this work? Jarvis captures screenshots from webpages and analyzes them to learn navigation. The system will be able to take over a user’s computer to perform tasks like online shopping, research, and booking flights. In the future, it may learn to do even more complex tasks. This could have significant implications for both software engineers and the public.

Why is this significant? Jarvis may seem like a cool new feature in the works, but the announcement comes immediately after Anthropic’s announcement of the computer use feature, which is basically the same thing. Given that Jarvis might not be available until early next year, this announcement makes Google appear somewhat desperate as a result of falling behind Anthropic. More deeply, this pressure-induced announcement highlights industry pressures to “ship early and often.”

META SIGNS DEAL WITH REUTERS FOR REAL-TIME NEWS CONTENT 📰

Q: Why shouldn't you enter into a contract with Wolverine?

A: Because of his retractable clause. 🐺

What’s new? Meta announced a new partnership with Reuters, allowing its Meta AI chatbot to use Reuters content to provide real-time answers to user questions about news and current events.

What will this look like? Meta’s chatbot, available on the web, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, will use Reuters content to deliver accurate news summaries and links. This means users will have access to information about real-time events through the chatbot. The collaboration builds on an existing fact-checking partnership between the two companies, which began in 2020.

Why? This agreement marks Meta’s first major news deal in years, and it comes as the company has been reducing news content on its platforms following regulatory criticism and disputes over revenue-sharing. The financial details of the partnership were not disclosed, but Reuters will receive compensation under a multi-year deal. Similar deals have been made by other tech firms like OpenAI and Perplexity, reflecting a trend of big tech companies licensing reliable news content for their AI platforms. This is born out of a desire to provide real-time content to users but also to avoid lawsuits over copyright infringement, an issue becoming more and more popular every day in the AI world.
