Why should I care?

Google claims superior performance compared to models of similar size and offers multilingual support across 180+ countries.

Despite Google's claim, the delay in providing developer access a week after the launch has generated some concerns. Currently, there is limited developer engagement on X, with more attention directed towards Mistral.

Testing the models now is advisable, considering the generous free options available. Being part of the alpha phase allows exploration in areas where others may not be focusing.

QUICK SIGHT

Axel Springer, a big media company, is teaming up with OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT. They want to use AI to improve journalism.

What is going on here?

The companies will integrate recent news content into ChatGPT to provide users with authoritative, up-to-date information.

What does this mean?

Axel Springer has partnered with ChatGPT to provide users with summaries and links to articles from reputable sources like POLITICO, BUSINESS INSIDER, and European publications such as BILD and WELT. This collaboration allows users to access valuable information that is typically behind paywalls.

Benefits for Axel Springer include the opportunity to keep readers informed by integrating their content into ChatGPT. Additionally, they can leverage OpenAI's technology to develop other AI applications. In return, OpenAI gains access to Axel Springer's articles for training its AI models, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship between the two entities.

Why should I care?

Both companies are deeply committed to utilizing AI to bolster the future of journalism. Their shared objective is to ensure that publishers can sustain quality reporting despite the transformative impact of new technologies.

Ultimately, this collaboration benefits users and the field of journalism. AI systems contribute to delivering more accurate facts and data, while news organizations can continue to uncover and report on significant matters. The responsible use of technology serves to inform the public and support the dissemination of knowledge.

A notable concern raised on X is the potential hypocrisy in licensing data from major media corporations while asserting that training on extensive amounts of other copyrighted material, often sourced from smaller companies and individuals, is considered fair use.
