Microsoft: Partnerschaft mit dem KI-Startup Mistral
Das französische KI-Startup Mistral erhält eine Investition von Microsoft und kündigt neue Modelle an. Nach OpenAI ist es Microsofts zweite KI-Partnerschaft.

Groq, an AI chip company, wants everyone to forget about Elon Musk’s snarky chatbot with nearly the same name, Grok. Lightning-fast demos from Groq went viral this weekend, making current versions of ChatGPT, Gemini and even Grok look sluggish. Groq claims to provide “the world’s fastest large language models,” and third-party tests are saying that claim might hold up.

This time last year we did something reckless. In an industry where nothing stands still, we had a go at predicting the future. 

Restraints required
Companies selling AI models and services clearly understand there's a problem. They refer to "guardrails" put in place around foundational models to help them stay in their lane – even if these don't work very well. Precautions of this sort would unnecessary if these models didn't contain child sexual abuse material and a panoply of other toxic content.

It's as if AI developers read writer Alex Blechman's viral post about tech companies interpreting the cautionary tale "Don't Create the Torment Nexus" as a product roadmap and said, "Looks good to me."

Of course there are older literary references that suit AI, such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or Pandora's Box – a particularly good fit given that AI models are frequently referred to as black boxes due to the lack of transparency about training material.

Researchers jailbreak AI chatbots, including ChatGPT
Like a magic wand that turns chatbots evil.

Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google said on Friday it will update Bard, its generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, to help people write code to develop software, as the tech giant plays catch-up in a fast-moving race on AI technology.

Last month, the company started the public release of Bard to gain ground on Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O).

The release of ChatGPT, a chatbot from the Microsoft-backed startup OpenAI, last year caused a sprint in the technology sector to put AI into more users' hands.

TruthGPT als Antwort auf ChatGPTs "politische Korrektheit"
ChatGPT verbreitet laut Elon Musk Lügen. Dem soll die eigene KI TruthGPT entgegenstehen, die "versucht, das Universum zu verstehen".

Billionaire Elon Musk said on Monday he will launch an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that he calls "TruthGPT" to challenge the offerings from Microsoft (MSFT.O) and Google (GOOGL.O).

He criticised Microsoft-backed OpenAI, the firm behind chatbot sensation ChatGPT, of "training the AI to lie" and said OpenAI has now become a "closed source", "for-profit" organisation "closely allied with Microsoft".

ChatGPT gets “eyes and ears” with plugins that can interface AI with the world
Plugins allow ChatGPT to book a flight, order food, send email, execute code (and more).

On Thursday, OpenAI announced a plugin system for its ChatGPT AI assistant. The plugins give ChatGPT the ability to interact with the wider world through the Internet, including booking flights, ordering groceries, browsing the web, and more. Plugins are bits of code that tell ChatGPT how to use an external resource on the Internet.

Basically, if a developer wants to give ChatGPT the ability to access any network service (for example: "looking up current stock prices") or perform any task controlled by a network service (for example: "ordering pizza through the Internet"), it is now possible, provided it doesn't go against OpenAI's rules.

OpenAI’s GPT-4 exhibits “human-level performance” on professional benchmarks
Multimodal AI model can process images and text; pass bar exams.

Microsoft has announced a new multiyear partnership with Mistral, a French AI startup that’s valued at €2 billion (about $2.1 billion). The Financial Times reports that the partnership will include Microsoft taking a minor stake in the 10-month-old AI company, just a little over a year after Microsoft invested more than $10 billion into its OpenAI partnership.

Code Llama 70B can generate and debug larger programming strings than Meta’s previous models.

ChatGPT est victime d’une nouvelle faille de sécurité. En exploitant cette brèche, il est possible d’extraire des données sensibles concernant des individus en s’adressant au chatbot d’OpenAI.

Apple, which many had considered very conservative in its approach to AI, quietly released frameworks and model libraries designed to run on its chips and maybe bring generative AI apps to MacBooks. 

The company’s machine learning research team released MLX, a machine learning framework where developers can build models that run efficiently on Apple Silicon and deep learning model library MLX Data. Both are accessible through open-source repositories like GitHub and PyPI. 

With recent developments in generative AI, the question of ethical content creation and the use of human-made content has come into question. And while the generative AI industry is still in its infancy, many companies must take measures to balance automation with original high-quality content.

It’s still very early to tell which direction the generative AI industry will take and what limitations will be placed on generative AI platforms. So for now, companies using this technology are the ones responsible for guaranteeing ethical use and protecting the rights of content creators. Here is how some companies can find a balance between automation and originality.

Bing AI is now open to all—sort of. Three months after debuting its revamped search engine, Microsoft has announced that it's now moving into open preview. You'll still need to sign into Bing on the Edge browser (or the Bing mobile apps) to use the chatbot, but at least you no longer have to deal with a waitlist.

As if to celebrate this new phase of Bing (powered by OpenAI's GPT-4), Microsoft is also rolling out several new features. For one, it can go beyond mere text responses to deliver charts, graphs and rich formatting. The Bing Image Creator, which taps into DALL-E to craft AI-generated pictures, also now supports the more than 100 languages that Bing's standard search offers.

Have you heard? ChatGPT is yesterday's news, now it's all about AI agents.

Applications like Auto-GPT, AgentGPT, BabyAGI, and GodMode are building on OpenAI's large language models (LLMs) to automate tasks using ChatGPT. Creating a project with ChatGPT requires a prompt for every new step, but with AI agents, all you need to do is give it an overarching goal, and let it get to work.

AutoGPT nutzt die Leistung von GPT-4, um Aufgaben autonom zu entwickeln und zu verwalten. Mit AgentGPT gibt es jetzt eine Web-Version von AutoGPT.
AutoGPT ist laut seinem Entwickler Toran Bruce Richards "eine experimentelle Open-Source-Anwendung, die die Fähigkeiten des GPT-4-Sprachmodells demonstriert". Das Skript "kettet LLM-'Gedanken' aneinander, um autonom jedes beliebige Ziel zu erreichen, das Sie festlegen". Mehr über AutoGPT erfahren Sie in diesem Blogbeitrag von Arstechnica.

Now, an even more powerful AI application has entered the scene -- Auto-GPT.

The application's promising, autonomous abilities may make it our first glimpse of artificial general intelligence (AGI), a type of AI that can perform human-level intellectual tasks. 

Google plant die Erweiterung seiner Suchmaschine um Chatbot-Funktionen. Das könnte das traditionelle linkbasierte Geschäft auf den Kopf stellen.

Amazon announced Thursday it’s launching its own generative AI service through its cloud computing platform, targeting corporate customers who want to incorporate AI into their businesses, a split-off from other tech giants’ consumer-focused approaches to AI.

The AI service Amazon Bedrock offers companies tools to build and grow their own artificial intelligence applications designed for their business needs, according to an announcement from Amazon Web Services.

A ChatGPT bug found earlier this week also revealed user's payment information, says OpenAI(Opens in a new tab).

The AI chatbot was shut down on March 20, due to a bug that exposed titles and the first message of new conversations from active users' chat history to other users.

Now, OpenAI has shared that even more private data from a small number of users was exposed.

"In the hours before we took ChatGPT offline on Monday, it was possible for some users to see another active user’s first and last name, email address, payment address, the last four digits (only) of a credit card number, and credit card expiration date," said OpenAI. "Full credit card numbers were not exposed at any time.
