🍓 OpenAI reportedly preparing to launch new ‘Strawberry’ AI modelLINK
OpenAI is developing two new AI models that promise significant advancements in problem-solving and language processing. 'Strawberry' aims to excel at complex mathematics and programming tasks, while 'Orion' is set to surpass GPT-4's capabilities. A chatbot version of Strawberry may launch this fall, possibly integrated into ChatGPT, with demonstrated capabilities like solving the New York Times word puzzle 'Connections.' Strawberry's enhanced logic allows it to excel in autonomous internet searches and in-depth research, making it a cornerstone for OpenAI’s future models such as Orion, which plans to utilize synthetic data for better accuracy.
✍🏻 Google Meet will now take notes for youLINK
Google Meet's new AI-powered feature, “take notes for me,” has started rolling out today, summarizing meetings for Google Workspace customers with specific add-ons and initially announced at the 2023 Cloud Next conference.
This feature automatically generates a Google Doc with meeting notes, attaches it to the calendar event, and sends it to the meeting organizer and participants who activated the tool, although it currently supports only spoken English.
Google predicts the feature will be available to all Google Workspace customers by September 10th, 2024, but there are concerns about its accuracy, given the performance of similar transcription tools in the past.
💥 For the first time in more than three years, SpaceX misses a booster landingLINK
SpaceX experienced its first failed booster landing in over three years when the Falcon 9 booster tipped over after delivering 21 Starlink satellites early Wednesday morning.
Prior to this incident, SpaceX had successfully landed 267 boosters consecutively, with the last failure occurring in February 2021, and the company is currently investigating the exact cause of the mishap.
The landing failure led to the scrubbing of another Starlink launch planned for the same morning, as SpaceX needed to assess the root cause of the issue, impacting the schedule of upcoming missions such as Polaris Dawn.
🧬 Scientists use AI to 3D print human organsLINK
Researchers at Washington State University are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to 3D print human organs, employing a method known as Bayesian Optimization to improve speed and accuracy.
The WSU team has trained their AI algorithm to accurately print kidney and prostate models, resulting in 60 progressively refined versions that surpass traditional methods.
The AI model optimizes 3D printing parameters to balance geometric accuracy, material density, and production speed, producing realistic and functionally effective organ models.
🚗 Tesla has given up fining Cybertruck owners who resell their vehiclesLINK
Tesla previously imposed a $50,000 fine and a potential ban on future purchases for Cybertruck owners who resold their vehicles without permission.
Tesla has now removed these resale restrictions for the Cybertruck, allowing buyers to sell their electric pickups without facing penalties.
This policy change may lead to an increase in Cybertrucks being resold, potentially offering more affordable options on platforms like Craigslist.
