Transcripts

here's the AI news that you might have

missed this

[Music]

week starting with the fact that open AI

mapped out their five levels towards the

progress of AGI here's a quick breakdown

of those five levels so level one they

say would be chat Bots and AI with

conversational language that's

essentially what we're getting right now

out of chat GPT Claude llama 3 things

like that then you have level two which

is reasoners that can do human level

problem solving they claim their very

very close to level two right now then

it moves on to level three which is

Agents or systems that can take actions

on our behalf you know book flights for

us respond to emails for us things like

that then there's level four which they

say is the innovators AI that can Aid an

invention it's actually going to create

novel ideas and then finally you have

level five which is organizations and AI

that can do the work of an organization

so basically we're right here right now

we're at level one almost on the level

two we're right on that precipice of

level two and open AI believes that

we'll sort of move through each of these

levels on our way to a true AGI now this

was actually released on July 11th last

week but it didn't make it into last

week's video but it felt a little extra

relevant this week because this week we

got the news that open aai has been

working on a new reasoning technology

code named Strawberry now I've seen a

lot of other YouTube videos and a lot of

X posts about this with people

speculating a lot of people believe that

this was what was originally called qar

and they've now rebranded it to

Strawberry now this comes from a leaked

internal document it says teams inside

of open AI are working on strawberry

according to a copy of a recent internal

open AI document seen by Reuters Reuters

couldn't ascertain the precise state of

the document and they could not

establish how close strawberry is to

actually being publicly available likely

not very close the aim of strawberry is

to not just generate answers to queries

but to plan ahead enough to navigate the

internet autonomously and reliably to

perform what open AI terms deep research

the article does claim the strawberry

project was formerly known as qar this

exact article here was actually updated

after it was published to add this

section it says a different Source

briefed on the matter said openai has

tested AI internally that scored over

90% on a math data set a benchmark of

Championship math problems now writers

couldn't actually figure out if they

were referring to the strawberry project

or not but it kind of sounds like

they're probably the same project now

outside of this little information that

we have on it there's a lot of

speculation around what this is but it

sounds like this strawberry is pretty

close to that level two towards AGI that

we were just talking about and at the

moment it sounds like the main purpose

of This research is for this new model

to essentially do research among the

capabilities openi is aiming strawberry

at is performing long Horizon tasks or

complex tasks that require a model to

plan ahead and perform a series of

actions over an extended period of time

open AI specifically wants its model to

use these capabilities to conduct

research by browsing the web

autonomously with the assistance of a

computer using agent or CUA that can

then take actions based on its findings

again not much more is known about this

and open AI has notoriously been kind of

hush H about their upcoming models and

usually we don't know much about them

until literally the day they make the

announcement of them and while we're on

the topic of open AI more people from

open AI are coming out and talking about

some of the questionable practices of

open ai's business it came out this week

that some whistleblowers are saying that

open AI illegally keeps employees from

talking to government Regulators about

problems at work and removes their

rights to rewards for blowing the

whistle this comes from a letter that

was sent to Gary gendler the chair of

the SEC openai refutes the claims saying

that they have a policy on

whistleblowers that protects employees

rights to make protected disclosures now

this isn't the first time that open ai's

policies and contracts with their

employees have been under scrutiny

several weeks ago it came out that open

AI was forcing people to sign

non-disparagement agreements and if they

talked badly about open AI they could

lose their vested equity in the company

well now it sounds like people are

coming forward and claiming that if we

blow the whistle on anything we think

open AI is doing that's somewhat

suspicious we can also lose our vested

equity and that's not legal now the

sources are Anonymous open AI claims

that that's not actually happening but I

have a feeling open AI is probably in

the process of overhauling a lot of

their contracts that get signed by any

new employees that join the company due

to all this scrutiny again back when

most of these people probably signed up

for open AI the company wasn't nearly as

big or in the public eye now that they

are as big and in the public eye a lot

of this stuff is kind of starting to

come under the microscope and while

we're on the topic of open II there's

some speculation that maybe the dolly

image model recently got an update this

is a post from my buddy angry penguin

over on X where he shows off an image

that he created that has pretty legible

writing in it this clearly says evolve

all over it previously DOI struggled

with words if I go to Dolly and say

create an image of a robot holding a

sign that says Please Subscribe I

actually get an image that has the words

kind of nailing it so I think DOI did

make some updates because the text seems

to be much more clear than it used to be

and if you're interested in using Dolly

but you don't have a chat GPT Plus

account you can always go to bing.com

slim imagesc create and use Dolly 3 for

free over on Bing's website which if

Dolly 3 did get an update it appears to

have also rolled out here inside of

being image Creator I mean two and a

half out of four sort of nailed what I

was going for we also got some new demo

videos from Sora we can see this like

black and white video showing all sorts

of different clips in black and white

that actually look pretty dang

impressive these were shared on Matthew

burman's X account here's another one

that he shared of like ocean crashing

and uh I don't know a gas station or

motel or something uh but yeah we're

getting more demos from Sora which is

just making people more anxious to

actually get their hands on it but right

now we do sort of have that itch

scratched in the form of Runway gen 3

and lum's dream machine we can actually

create some pretty good AI generated

videos now with those tools it sort of

damped down the excitement for Sora a

little bit but the fact that this can

create much longer videos and open AI

tends to kind of set the bar for almost

everything they put out I'm still

excited about it but I have gotten that

need met with some other tools recently

if you're somebody that uses AI at work

or or you're thinking about using AI at

work you need to check out hubspot's

completely free bundle called five

essential resources for using chat GPT

at work and honestly if you haven't

embraced AI yet just remember what

Nvidia CEO Jensen hang said AI will be

the most transformative technology of

the 21st century it will affect every

industry and aspect of our lives so if

you're not using AI to speed up and

improve the quality of your work well

your competitors probably are so the

link to this totally free resource is

down in the description below and trust

me this is something you're going to

want to look through it includes

interesting flowcharts on when you

should or shouldn't use chat GPT there's

also a really cool template that you can

use with chat GPT to make sure that any

of the content it creates for you

follows your Brand's voice you've got an

AI generated content refinement

checklist to double check the ai's work

and ensure that you're putting something

out into the world that you really want

to be putting out there there's also a

four-page check list that you can easily

follow all about adopting AI in the

workplace and a super comprehensive PDF

guide on how to supercharge your day

with chat GPT and here's what's really

cool about this if you scroll all the

way down to the bottom of this document

they have 100 ways to try chat GPT today

and it's got some really cool prompts to

test out things like providing

recommendations for improving customer

service and support providing

recommendations for improving SEO

helping with email management and

organization and so much more again it

is really comprehensive and really

helpful the link to this completely free

resource from HubSpot is in the

description below and thank you so much

to HubSpot for sponsoring this video

Andre karpathy who previously worked at

open aai and then recently stepped away

just announced a new Venture that he's

working on he said excited to share that

I'm starting an AI plus education

company called Eureka Labs at Eureka

Labs they're building a new kind of

school that is AI I native they say that

subject matter experts who are deeply

passionate great at teaching infinitely

patient and fluent in all of the world's

languages are also very scarce and

cannot personally tutor all 8 billion of

us on demand so it sounds like he's

creating a sort of online education

where the teacher still designs the

course materials but they are supported

leveraged and scaled with an AI teaching

assistant who is optimized to help guide

the students through them so this

announcement here is really all that we

have he hasn't really talked a whole lot

about this more than the announcement

but what I'm sort of imagining is that a

teacher with subject matter expertise

goes in creates an entire course on

their subject matter all of that

information is then sort of trained in

the AI I don't know if they're going to

use you know retrieval augmented

generation or they're going to fine-tune

the model I don't know exactly how

they're going to do it but all of the

information that the teacher taught is

now available inside of the model so

anybody who wants to learn this stuff

can then work with a tutor who

understands all of the training material

and can speak to the student in whatever

language they want to learn in this will

massively scale the ability of an

individual teacher who can teach the

concept once and then let their AI

assistant teach it to everybody else who

wants to learn that information again

I'm just sort of speculating on what

this is going to look like I don't know

exactly but that's sort of what the

concept sounds like to me if you're a

fan of anthropics CLA and you don't have

an iPhone well good news they just

released it on Android it's been on iOS

for a couple months now and they just

now rolled out an Android version

personally I'm still a fan of the chat

GPT app a little bit more than the

anthropic app just because the

conversational voice portion of the chat

GPT app is actually really really good

when I'm on my computer I usually use

either clot or perplexity when I'm using

my phone I still go to the chat GPT app

but I also understand most people

probably don't want to pay for free

separate chat subscriptions so if you

really like the ability to have a voice

conversation with an AI chat GPT still

the way if you don't care about that you

just want the best model in your hand

clad is probably the best and they now

have an Android app and since we're

talking about Android phones Gemini now

answers general questions when your

Android phone is locked there's not too

much more to share on this story it is

exactly what it sounds like Google Now

lets you get answers from Gemini without

actually unlocking your device also this

week Google announced Google vids vids

is an AI powered video creation app

that's designed for work and deeply

integrated with the workspace Suite you

use every day you can actually find it

over at

workspace.com

product/ VDS right now it's not

available to everybody they say we're

currently testing this new application

with a select group of trusted testers

and according to the video on their

website it looks like you give it a

prompt like help me create a sales

training video and then it will help

create this like slide Style video for

you there's a bunch of different styles

that you can choose from and once you

pick your St style you can speak out a

script add a voice over to it and add

stock footage to it to get the perfect

sort of layout for your video and then

it creates that sort of slide

presentation video for you and since

we're talking about Google and we're

talking about video let's talk about

this new feature that YouTube is rolling

out called YouTube music sound search

this sounds like a feature that's very

similar to Shazam where you can have it

listen to a snippet of music and it will

figure out what song it is but you can

also hum the song it'll be able to

figure out what song it was based on

your humming we can see some screenshots

that they shared here they've got a

little search box here with a microphone

next to it I'm assuming they Click the

microphone and then it says play sing or

hum a song and then it figures out what

song that you were trying to find just

based on the singing or humming

YouTube's also testing an AI generated

conversational radio it'll let you

create a custom radio by describing

exactly what they want to hear this

article goes on to say be on the lookout

for ask for music any way you like card

in your home feed this will open the

chat-based UI with a field at the bottom

that lets you ask for music there's been

a little bit more controversy this week

about the source of training data for

various AI models this article on proof

news here claims that Apple Nvidia and

anthropic use thousands of swiped

YouTube videos to train AI basically

here's what's happening with this

there's a company called Uther AI which

is an open-sourced company that collects

a whole bunch of data from from

everywhere and puts it into what they

call the pile and the pile is this giant

data set that companies then use to

train their AI models initially so that

it can just sort of learn how the

language works and just get injected

with a ton of data to start well this

pile is trained on publicly available

data and it turns out that a lot of that

publicly available data was transcripts

that were copied and pasted straight

from YouTube videos and a lot of

YouTubers started to notice there's data

in there from people like MKBHD Mr Beast

PewDiePie and others and this site proof

news.org actually put up a little search

engine so that you can see if a video

that you created or literally anybody's

video is found within the piles data set

now I did a search for my own name and

no results were found I don't know

whether I should be offended or relieved

at the time the data was scraped my

channel probably just wasn't big enough

now after all this came out Apple

stepped up to say yes we've used the

pile for some research purposes and some

training but the model that we're using

inside of our Apple intelligence is not

trained on the piles data so that

information is not inside of Apple's

training set according to them Microsoft

has a platform called designer which if

you're not familiar with it it's very

similar to canva it's a platform to

create things like YouTube thumbnails

and banner ads and Instagram images and

things like that well this designer

platform is now being rolled out into a

whole bunch of different Microsoft apps

directly where you can use the co-pilot

sidebar over here ask it to create a

specific image in a specific style and

it will actually use Microsoft's

designer to create that image and allow

you to pull it directly inside of your

document or your PowerPoint or whatever

Microsoft tool that you're using here's

another example of it being shown off

inside of Microsoft PowerPoint where

they create some images with designer

over here it generates some images and

then they just pull that in as the

background of the slide designer also

got a free mobile app on both IOS and

Android so you can easily create and

edit images on the go on a mobile device

now there's a whole bunch of other new

features for designer if you want to

dive deeper into it this is something

that you're really interested in I will

make sure it's linked up in the

description so you can see all of the

updates here the article is quite long

and there are quite a few updates but it

seems like it's got some other pretty

cool features like this restyle feature

you upload an image and it restyles it

to a different style of image mistol the

French AI company that develops large

language models released a new model

called Cod strol Mamba this is a model

designed for code generation it is open

source and it can handle an input of up

to

256,000 tokens which is double what open

aai currently offers with chat GPT

that's rough roughly 192,000 words

between the amount of text inputed and

the amount of text outputed this is a 7

billion parameter model and offers a

fast response time even with longer

input text so if you're a coder and

you're looking to try another large

language model to see if it outperforms

the other models you've tried maybe Cod

stroll Mamba is a choice to try out

Amazon started rolling out an AI

shopping assistant called Rufus which

apparently answers questions about

shopping and also politics Rufus is

essentially a chatbot just like chat GPT

but it's built directly inside of the

Amazon app and it's trained on the data

that's in Amazon so you can ask what are

the best lawn games for kids birthday

parties and it will suggest lawn games

as well as where to find them and buy

them on Amazon this Verge article also

tested some other questions and got it

to answer questions about the candidates

for the 2024 election I've got more bad

news if you're in the EU it sounds like

meta is not going to be offering their

multimodal models in the European Union

they will be offering their normal text

input output models like llama but

you're probably not going to be able to

create AI images AI videos and anything

other than more text if you're in the EU

due to the eu's I guess unclear policies

they say here we will release a

multimodal llama model over the coming

months but not in the EU due to the

unpredictable nature of the European

regulatory environment says here that

meta's issue isn't with the the still

being finalized AI act but rather with

how it can train models using data from

European customers while complying with

gdpr the eu's existing data Protection

Law the United Kingdom has nearly

identical laws to gdpr but meta says it

isn't seeing the same level of

regulatory uncertainty and plans to

launch its new model for the UK users

here's something that I came across on X

from johanis Stelzer I just thought it

was really cool they hooked up a little

uh mey device to their computer and they

can turn the knobs to change different

aspects of the images they appear to be

using stable diffusion here and then

using these knobs to change different

elements within stable diffusion

different sort of parameters and I just

thought it looked really cool and I

wanted to share it and they also put the

code for it up on GitHub so if you want

to play around with something like this

and hook up sdxl to a mey device well

that's available for you to do here's

another article that I came across that

I couldn't find a whole lot on I just

thought it looked cool is from Gizmo

China turn your selfie into a printable

3D character with 10 cents AI powered

app so apparently this is an app where

you can upload a selfie and it will

generate a 3D model based on that one

selfie that is so good that you can 3D

print it now I actually did some digging

to try to find more info about what

they're doing here and this was

literally the only article I can find

about it but as I learn more about it I

do have a 3D printer I do love AI this

is something I will be playing with if I

can get my hands on it and here's

something interesting AI systems achieve

a 96% accuracy in determining the sex

from dental X-rays so they basically

trained an AI model on a whole bunch of

dental images and then when they ran new

dental images through it it was able to

determine the sex of whose teeth those

were at a rate of 96% accuracy and the

ones that it wasn't accurate on that was

mostly children the the article claims

that it's less accurate if you're six or

under or basically haven't lost your

teeth yet now the main use case for

something like this would be in

forensics if they find you know skeletal

remains or something they can actually

identify the sex of the skeletal remains

but I just thought it was fascinating so

I thought I'd share with you so I

started recording that video while I was

in San Diego still and well now I'm on

vacation in Colorado and a few more

pieces of news came out that I wanted to

make sure got shared in Friday's news

video including the fact that open AI

just launched a new model today on

Thursday the day I record this called

GPT 40 mini with pretty much every large

language model Creator out there

creating models that are smaller

designed to be more cost-efficient and

faster open AI needed to create a

language model to compete so this new

GPT 40 is replacing the old GPT 3.5 not

quite as powerful as the full-on GPT 40

but it is faster and smarter than the

previous GPT 3.5 we can see that right

now today GPT 40 mini supports text and

vision in the API with support for text

image video and audio inputs and outputs

in the future it's got 128,000 token

context window so you should still be

able to put large amounts of text as

your input however the output only

supports 16,000 tokens we can see this

comparison here of model evaluation

scores with GPT 40 and pink being the

best model and it pretty much performs

the best across the board here in every

test with GPT 40 mini this new model

that was just released performing second

best across pretty much all of these

benchmarks here now keep in mind this is

comparing it to these other companies

smaller models it almost kind of feels

unfair to be putting GPT 40 in here

compared against you know Claude Haiku

and Gemini flash which is both of those

platforms smaller models while GPT 40 is

open ai's current state-of-the-art model

but nonetheless we can see how this new

Mini version of GPT 4L outperforms all

the other mini models that are out there

if we log into our chat GPT account here

up in the top left corner where you

select the model you can see that we now

have access to 40 40 mini and the Legacy

gp4 now at the time of this recording

when I try to not log in and just use

the free version it's still claiming

it's using chat GPT 3.5 although it does

say here in chat GPT free plus and team

users will be able to use GPT 40 mini

starting today in other large language

Model news Nvidia and mistol teamed up

to create mistol Nemo this is a 12

billion parameter model and it also has

128,000 tokens just like the new GPT 40

Mini model now what's cool about this

model is it's actually designed to be

run on device we can see here it says

this model's efficiency and local

deployment capabilities could attract

businesses operating environments with

limited internet connectivity or those

with stringent data privacy requirements

they do go on to say that it's more

designed for laptops and desktop PCS

than smartphones so companies that want

to run a really really powerful large

language model with a large context

window that can take a lot of input and

a lot of output text and maybe concerned

about privacy or not have internet

access well now they have a model that

they can use that's going to provide

pretty much everything you're going to

need it says the model is immediately

available and we have a link here with a

downloadable version promised in the

near future so you can actually try this

model out over on nvidia's website if we

come over to build. nvidia.com exlore

slcover click on reasoning over on the

left side we can see fresh off the press

mral Nemo 12b instruct if we click in

here we get a chat window where we can

actually play around with this model if

we want to again this is a cloud version

where you can just sort of play around

with it but a desktop version is coming

soon and finally if you're planning on

watching the Summer Olympics this year

it looks like Google's AI is going to be

everywhere Google is apparently the

official AI sponsor for Team USA and

claim that they're going to have ads all

over for all of the various Google AI

products so if you haven't heard enough

about AI lately on TV well watching the

Olympics you're going to see a lot of it

and anyway that's all I got for you

today again I record these videos on

Thursday in this case some of it was

recorded on Wednesday some of it was

recorded on Thursday so if there was any

news that came out late Thursday evening

or on Friday it didn't make this video

but it will be in next week's news video

while I'm here on vacation I'm sort of

slowing down on putting new videos out

but I am going to publish my Friday news

videos on schedule just like I always do

just less other videos during the week
