Here’s the translated text while maintaining accuracy and factual correctness: May has been even more intense than the preceding months of this year, with several key events overlapping. Here are four notable events: The release of GPT-4o. Google’s developer conference. Microsoft’s Build conference, the key event for developers using Microsoft technologies. The official release of the EU AI Act on May 21. Let’s start from the beginning, knowing that for some of these topics, especially all the announcements from Microsoft and a deeper dive into the AI Act, further analysis will be necessary ..read more

Top of the month The top highlight of the month for April is certainly the no-holds-barred battle between new large Language Models (LLMs) and the rise of significant Small Language Models (SLMs). It is certainly due to start with Llama 3 from META. According to tests conducted by Meta, Llama 3 models 8B and 70B outperformed other models of similar size, such as Google’s Gemma, Mistral 7B, and Anthropic’s Claude 3 Sonnet. The models were trained on a dataset that was 7 times larger than Llama 2, containing 15T tokens and 4 times more code. In the coming months, Meta is expected to release a 40 ..read more

Here’s our monthly rendezvous with the observatory on the latest in the world of artificial intelligence. This month, we have a particularly complex landscape with overlapping news that pushes the boundaries of artificial intelligence. But let’s start with the top stories of the month. Tops of the Month There are two pieces of news that I consider most important this month. The first is the release of Anthropic’s Cloude 3. Cloude 3 is the first closed-source Large Language Model (LLM) that can compete with OpenAI’s GPT-4. In fact, according to all benchmarks, albeit slightly, Cloude 3 surpasse ..read more

In recent updates from Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service, there’s been a significant emphasis on enhancing the safety, security, and responsibility in AI development and deployment. I truly think this topic will get hotter and hotter alongside generative AI adoption. Here’s a detailed exploration of the latest offerings and how they aim to bolster AI’s safe and responsible use. Risks & Safety Monitoring in Azure OpenAI Studio At Ignite 2023, Azure OpenAI Service announced new AI safety and Responsible AI features. These include jailbreak risk detection and protected material detection, enha ..read more

Welcome back to another month full of news and progress regarding artificial intelligence. From this month, I will try to bring more order to the news by organizing it into sections that I plan to keep unchanged in the upcoming issues. Top of the Month The sudden launch of OpenAI’s new Sora video generation model has been the most significant news of the month. It is a groundbreaking shift, according to all experts, both in the way video is produced and the authenticity of the content created. Demos generated by this model can be viewed on OpenAI’s website, which can currently produce videos u ..read more

Welcome to our regular monthly update on artificial intelligence, a field that never ceases to amaze us. Let’s start with exciting news from OpenAI: the launch of the store for Custom GPTs, a significant step towards monetizing the platform. Additionally, OpenAI has introduced a new subscription plan that allows for the creation of shared team workspaces. OpenAI was particularly active in January, updating its models. For instance, GPT-3.5 Turbo saw a 50% reduction in input costs and a 25% reduction in output costs. Moreover, the flagship model, GPT-4 Turbo, received significant improvements ..read more

Writing concisely about artificial intelligence is increasingly challenging. Synthesizing a month’s worth of overlapping and rapidly evolving news is a complex task. This month, I want to focus on three main events. Firstly, I’ve previously mentioned the European Union’s agreement on AI regulation. Set to take effect in 2024, with gradual implementation over the following two years, this timeframe is significant in the rapid evolution of AI technology. The central issue here is balancing innovation with the need for regulation. Europe faces a delicate balancing act, aiming to create an environ ..read more

This has been another incredible month. I won’t get into the speculation regarding the OpenAI affair. A lot has been written, let’s just wait and see if it is just a compute war, a next generation training technique or both or maybe just a matter of money. In the meantime the landscape of artificial intelligence is evolving at a breakneck pace, with industry giants like OpenAI, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google leading the charge. OpenAI first Developer Day did not disappoint. Here are the critical takeaways: The newly introduced GPT-4 Turbo has set a new benchmark for large language models (LLMs ..read more
