MAIN COURSE

That dress is so you 🙋‍♀️ 👗

In November, we reported on Amazon’s new AI chips. It unveiled its Trainium2 and Graviton4 chips to attempt to compete against NVIDIA.

3 weeks ago, we covered Amazon’s clothes shopping tools. It released 4 tools to reduce the amount of clothing items returned to Amazon.

2 weeks ago, we reported on Amazon’s Fire TV update. It allows you to create AI-generated art from your Amazon devices.

Are we going shopping?

I’m so there. On Wednesday, Amazon introduced Diffuse to Choose (DTC). It allows you to virtually try on clothing items.

What does it do?

It allows you to integrate product images into your personal photos. It uses a diffusion-based inpainting model to manipulate the details of any scene you provide.

So, it shows how I look in a shirt?

Yes, but you can also use it with clothing, furniture, decor items, and more.

What’s under the hood?

It uses a U-Net Encoder to inject details into the diffusion process, which enhances the realism of the image. It achieves state-of-the-art performance and has been validated on both proprietary and public datasets.

That’s awesome, how do I try it out?

You can’t yet, but Amazon says it will release a demo and its code soon.

SIDE SALAD

ChatGPT isn’t lazy anymore? 🥴 💻

In December, we reported on OpenAI’s Preparedness Framework. The goal was allegedly to address safety concerns by evaluating risks for advanced models.

A couple of weeks later, we covered OpenAI’s blog post on journalism. It was a direct response to its ongoing lawsuit with The New York Times.

A week after that, we reported on OpenAI’s new GPT store. We gave a step-by-step guide on how to discover and share GPTs.

Last week, we covered OpenAI’s new partnership with Arizona State University. It integrated ChatGPT into ASU’s teaching, research, and more.

More OpenAI stuff?

You got it. On Thursday, OpenAI unveiled new updates and upcoming models. It includes two new models, discounted API access, and more.

GPT 5 is here?

Dream on. OpenAI updated GPT 3.5 Turbo and cut the cost of its API by 50%. It’s now more accurate, less buggy, and more.

What about GPT 4?

OpenAI announced a new GPT-4 Turbo preview model that’s designed to reduce its “laziness.” It has vision capabilities and will be coming out soon.

What are the new models?

Two text embedding models called text-embedding-3-small and text-embedding-3-large. Text embedding allows AI models to perform vital functions like searching, clustering, recommending, and more.

Anything else?

It also introduced a new, free version of its Moderation API for developers. It’s called 007, and it’s designed to identify potentially harmful text.

Let me guess, Facebook Marketplace?

Wrong. On Wednesday, Etsy launched Gift Mode. It’s a new feature that recommends gifts based on the recipient’s interests, personality, and more.

How does it work?

Just specify who you’re shopping for, what occasion it’s for, what they like, and more. Etsy shows you various personas, like The Cat Lover or The Adventurer, to help you select a gift.

Sweet, that’s it?

Etsy will also send a teaser email to whoever’s getting the gift. You can choose whether it will reveal the gift or not, and you can write them a custom message.

Let me guess, I have to wait to use it… 🙄

Actually, you can use it right now.
