Russia's ChatGPT Competitor

PLUS: Cancer detecting AI

Good morning human brains, welcome back to your daily munch of AI news.

Here’s what’s up:

  • Cancer detecting AI 🩺 

  • Russia’s got a GPT competitor? 🪆 

  • Microsoft’s earning calls 💸 

  • Ask Andrew Tate anything 🍻 

APPETIZER

Cancer-Detecting AI 🥼 

Scientists in Boston just finished developing an AI tool to detect early signs of lung cancer years before doctors would find it on a CT scan… and it’s up to 94% accurate.

Left: what Sybil detected in its scan.
Right: what radiologists saw two years later.

Sybil isn’t approved by the FDA for use outside clinical trials just yet, but its odds are looking very promising so far.

It’s still a few updates away from perfect, though. One problem is the kind of information being used to train the AI model - data from hospitals and clinical trials doesn’t represent the diversity of the US, which means confidence in results falls for Black and Hispanic patients.

There’s some concerns about overdiagnosis too, but they’re probably going to be fleshed out with training updates (like all good AI models do).

Why this matters: Lung cancer’s the #1 leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Till we find a cure for cancer, AI’s going to be our best friend in preventing it.

MAIN COURSE

Russia’s ChatGPT competitor 🇷🇺 

There's a new chatbot in town. Russian lender Sberbank just released a GPT competitor called GigaChat, now in an invite-only testing mode.

We don’t have intel on how GigaChat compares to GPT and other bots just yet (in classic Russian fashion), but what allegedly sets it apart is its proficiency in Russian and training specifically for Russian culture.

And yup, it’s odd that Russia’s biggest AI play is coming from a bank. But Sberbank is majorly state-owned and has been using its $62B reserve to invest heavily in tech for years in anticipation of a moment like this.

This move comes amidst Russia’s movement to reduce the country's reliance on the West as it recovers from most countries’ slashed exports and sanctions after the Ukraine war.

Take: OpenAI’s progress with ChatGPT has got anti-US countries like Russia scrambling to stay up with the times. We’re all for the competition 🍿 .

A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA

Microsoft is living it up 🍻 

Microsoft had its latest earnings call yesterday, and its market value went up $200B right after. Here are the highlight reveals:
