OpenAI GPT-5 Leak

There have been rumors swirling about OpenAI's next-generation large language model, GPT-5

GPT-5 is said to be much better than the last one

and some big customers might have already seen it in action

They're thinking about releasing it around the middle of the year but it could change if they need more time to train and test it

These leaks hint at capabilities beyond GPT-4

including better reasoning and possibly the ability to interact with other AI agents being developed by OpenAI

NVIDIA AI Superchips

Nvidia has introduced a “superchip” for training artificial intelligence models…

the most powerful it has ever produced!

The US computing firm, which has recently rocketed in value to become the world’s third-largest company has yet to reveal the cost of its new chips

but observers expect a high price tag that will make them accessible to only a few organizations.

Nvidia claims its Blackwell chips can deliver 30 times performance improvement

when running generative AI services based on large language models

such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 compared with Hopper GPUs, all while using 25 times less energy.

Tweet Highlight

Grok-1 is now Open Source

Grok-1, the AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s company xAI

is now open-source…

The open-release version of Grok-1 is now available on GitHub for users to access it and build on it.

The announcement comes a few days after Musk announced on X (formerly Twitter)

that the company will soon provide developers access to the chatbot

For those who don’t know, open-sourcing means the software, its source codes, and projects are accessible to everyone without any licensing fee.

Google VLOGGER

This week, Google scholar Enric Corona and his colleagues introduced VLOGGER

VLOGGER can generate a high-resolution video of people talking based on a single photograph.

More importantly, VLOGGER can animate the video according to a speech sample

meaning the technology can animate the videos as a controlled likeness of a person -- an "avatar" of high fidelity.

This tool could enable all kinds of creations…

On the simplest level, Corona's team suggests VLOGGER could have a big impact on help desk avatars

because more realistic-looking synthetic-talking humans can "develop empathy" 

Microsoft First AI Laptop

Microsoft is gearing up for its “Year of the AI PC” with two new Surface devices that won’t be sold directly to consumers. 

The Surface Pro 10 for Business and Surface Laptop 6 for Business both feature Intel’s latest Core Ultra processors

Microsoft’s new Copilot key, and a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) to accelerate some existing and upcoming AI-powered features in Windows 11.

Microsoft is calling them “the first Surface AI PCs built exclusively for business.”

Both will start shipping to commercial customers on April 9th
