MAIN COURSE

Once, twice, three times, an AI 🦾 🤖

On Monday, Anthropic introduced the Claude 3 model family. It contains three new models called Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku.

Why do I care?

Claude 3 Opus demonstrates a “near-human comprehension,” in performing complex tasks. This is a first for AI models. Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku all excel in analysis, forecasting, content creation, code generation, and multilingual conversation.

Ok, so how good is Opus?

In the demo, Opus conducted a Google search, analyzed visual and textual data, and created a code for an accurate 20-year GDP graph. It outperformed GPT-4, and achieved state-of-the-art results on several benchmarks.

That’s insane. What about the others?

All the models can process 200,000 token windows. Haiku is the fastest and most cost-efficient model in its intelligence class, and Sonnet provides 2x the speed of Claude 2 models.

Let me guess: I can’t use them yet.

Wrong. You can access Opus and Sonnet through Anthropic’s API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, and more. Haiku is coming “soon.”

I want to learn more about Anthropic.

I got you. Back in October, we reported on Google and Anthropic’s new partnership. Google invested $2 billion in exchange for 49% ownership.

In November, we covered Anthropic’s Claude 2.1. It improved Claude 2 with a longer context window, more truthful responses, and more.

In January, we reported on Anthropic’s study on Sleeper Agents. It reveals how LLMs bypass current safety protocols.

SIDE SALAD

ChatGPT, read me a bedtime story 🔊 👶

On Monday, OpenAI announced ChatGPT’s “Read Aloud” feature. It allows you to hear its responses on its iOS and Android apps.

Huh? What? 👴

What’s the point?

It auto-detects and speaks 37 different languages. The goal is to extend ChatGPT’s reach and make AI accessible to the blind and low-vision communities.

How does it help the blind?

OpenAI collaborated with Be My Eyes to gather feedback from people with visual impairments. They’ve used the feature to see if their outfits match, describe their gardens, and more.

Is it available now?

Yes, it’s now available on the web version and in the app.

We see it on our end:

What else has OpenAI been up to?

Well. In January, we reported on the GPT store. We went over how to access it, find new GPTs, share your own GPTs, and more.

In February, we covered how to use multiple GPTs in a single chat. This allows you to integrate your GPTs, have them debate each other, and more.

In January, we reported on OpenAI’s GPT store updates. It added a rating system for GPTs and expanded builder profilers.

A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA

Does size matter? 🐳 🧮

On Tuesday, Microsoft unveiled Orca-Math. It’s a small, 7 billion-parameter model that excels in grade school math problems.

Why do I care?

On the GSM8k benchmark, a dataset of 8,500 complex math problems, it outperformed much larger models like LLAMA-2-70, Gemini Pro, GPT-3.5, and more. It also beat math-specific models like MetaMath-70B, WizardMath-70B, and more.

What’s under the hood?

Orca-Math is a fine-tuned version of Mistral 7B. The base version achieves a 37.83% accuracy rate on the G@M8k benchmark. Orca-Math achieved 86.61%

How is it so good at math?

It’s trained on a synthetic dataset of 200,000 math problems and continuously improves through practice and feedback.

What else has Microsoft done lately?

Let’s see. In January, we covered Microsoft’s drug development research. It reduced the time required to create drugs for infectious diseases.

In February, we reported on Microsoft’s partnership with Mistral. It invested $16.3 million in Mistral, and positioned it as a leading GPT-4 competitor.

On Monday, we covered Microsoft’s Copilot for Finance. It’s a model designed to enhance the efficiency of finance professionals.
