OpenAI Updates

OpenAI recently published a blog post detailing updates to their safety and security practices. The most significant announcement was the establishment of an independent governance board for safety and security, chaired by Ziko Couter and including Adam D'Angelo, Paul Nakasone, and Nicole Selman. Notably, Sam Altman is not part of this board, stepping down from the safety and security committee.

Last week, OpenAI announced their GPT-4 Turbo model, also known as the 0.1 model. This new version shows improved capabilities in logic, reasoning, and complex math problems, particularly in STEM subjects. OpenAI has increased the rate limits for Plus and Team users by seven times.

Some interesting developments have occurred around the 0.1 model:

  • GitHub Copilot now integrates the 0.1 model directly into its service.
  • Perplexity has added a new reasoning focus for pro users, utilizing the 0.1 Mini model.
  • There have been reports of OpenAI threatening to ban users who attempt to "jailbreak" or circumvent safeguards in the new model.
  • One unverified claim suggests that ChatGPT initiated a conversation with a user before they sent a message, though this report remains unconfirmed.

Google and YouTube Announcements

Google announced several AI-related updates:

  • Later this year, Google will start flagging AI-generated images in Search, Google Lens, and the Circle to Search feature on Android.
  • YouTube is integrating Google's Veo model into Dream Screen, allowing users to generate video content for YouTube Shorts.
  • A new "inspiration" feature will help YouTubers brainstorm video ideas, create outlines, and generate thumbnail ideas.
  • YouTube is introducing auto-dubbing, which will automatically localize videos to the viewer's language.

AI Video Advancements

Several companies made significant strides in AI video generation:

  • Runway released an improved video-to-video model, allowing users to transform existing videos with AI-generated elements.
  • Runway also announced a partnership with Lionsgate to create a custom AI video production and editing model using Lionsgate's extensive library of film and TV titles.
  • Both Runway and Luma Labs announced the availability of their APIs for developers.
