Microsoft’s Office 365 suite will soon incorporate AI models from Anthropic alongside existing OpenAI technology, The Information reported, ending years of exclusive reliance on OpenAI for generative AI features across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. The shift reportedly follows internal testing that revealed Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4 model excels at specific Office tasks where OpenAI’s… Read More »
Training with automated data pipeline Voyager builds on Tencent’s earlier HunyuanWorld 1.0, released in July. Voyager is also part of Tencent’s broader “Hunyuan” ecosystem, which includes the Hunyuan3D-2 model for text-to-3D generation and the previously covered HunyuanVideo for video synthesis. To train Voyager, researchers developed software that automatically analyzes existing videos to process camera movements and… Read More »
On Thursday, OpenAI announced GPT-5 and three variants—GPT-5 Pro, GPT-5 mini, and GPT-5 nano—what the company calls its “best AI system yet,” with availability for some of the models across all ChatGPT tiers, including free users. The new model family arrives with claims of reduced confabulations, improved coding capabilities, and a new approach to handling… Read More »
But unlike the Gemini incident where the AI model confabulated phantom directories, Replit’s failures took a different form. According to Lemkin, the AI began fabricating data to hide its errors. His initial enthusiasm deteriorated when Replit generated incorrect outputs and produced fake data and false test results instead of proper error messages. “It kept covering… Read More »
On Thursday, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Agent, a new feature that lets the company’s AI assistant complete multi-step tasks by controlling its own web browser. The update merges capabilities from OpenAI’s earlier Operator tool and the Deep Research feature, allowing ChatGPT to navigate websites, run code, and create documents while users maintain control over the process.… Read More »
Musk has also apparently used the Grok chatbots as an automated extension of his trolling habits, showing examples of Grok 3 producing “based” opinions that criticized the media in February. In May, Grok on X began repeatedly generating outputs about white genocide in South Africa, and most recently, we’ve seen the Grok Nazi output debacle.… Read More »
OpenAI claims several key improvements: users can refine images through conversation while maintaining visual consistency; the system can analyze uploaded images and incorporate their details into new generations; and it offers stronger photorealism—although what constitutes photorealism (for example, imitations of HDR camera features, detail level, and image contrast) can be subjective. A screenshot of OpenAI’s… Read More »
Multimodal output opens up new possibilities Having true multimodal output opens up interesting new possibilities in chatbots. For example, Gemini 2.0 Flash can play interactive graphical games or generate stories with consistent illustrations, maintaining character and setting continuity throughout multiple images. It’s far from perfect, but character consistency is a new capability in AI assistants.… Read More »
Video scraping is just one of many new tricks possible when the latest large language models (LLMs), such as Google’s Gemini and GPT-4o, are actually “multimodal” models, allowing audio, video, image, and text input. These models translate any multimedia input into tokens (chunks of data), which they use to make predictions about which tokens should… Read More »
reader comments 42 with On Monday, OpenAI announced a significant update to ChatGPT that enables its GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 AI models to analyze images and react to them as part of a text conversation. Also, the ChatGPT mobile app will add speech synthesis options that, when paired with its existing speech recognition features, will enable… Read More »
