Welcome back, my friends.

Shake off the sleep — it’s Thursday. This is the latest issue of /Imagine, your go-to source for the freshest news, tutorials, tools, and developments in AI. Let’s dive in…

🚀 GPT-4 Turbo Updated with Vision: OpenAI's Next Leap Forward

The Bytes:

✣ OpenAI unveils an updated GPT-4 Turbo with Vision, surpassing previous iterations with enhanced reasoning and visual processing capabilities. Early results are super promising, and they leaped ahead of the competition again.

✣ This upgrade allows for function calling and JSON mode interactions with images, broadening the model's utility and application scope. There are some impressive uses already, like the viral AI software engineer Devin, HealthifyMe App, and TLDraw.

✣ Despite stiff competition from models like Claude 3 Opus, and others, with this update, GPT-4 Turbo maintains a strong preference among a majority of users, with noted improvements in reasoning and math.

Why you should care: GPT-4 Turbo update with Vision release signals a significant step for OpenAI, offering more dynamic and integrated capabilities that could transform various industries and applications. I’ve personally switched back from Opus 3. And with everyone eyeing the next updates, versions 4.5 or 5 could be game changers.

🔌 Microsoft’s Silicon Ambitions

The Bytes:

✣ In an alliance that is turning heads, Microsoft partners with Intel to produce a new in-house chip using Intel’s 18A manufacturing technology.

✣ With an eye on the future, this collaboration is designed to guarantee Microsoft a continuous flow of semiconductors, essential for powering its burgeoning data-center empire. One chip will be a computer processor, and one an artificial intelligence accelerator.

✣ By taking the reins on processor design, Microsoft is dialing into the nitty-gritty, crafting chips that are tailor-made for the heavy lifting required by cloud services and AI applications.

✣ This strategic partnership is seen as a significant step for Intel’s foundry business and Microsoft’s hardware innovation and will mark a huge turnaround year so far for Intel.

Why you should care: Microsoft’s venture into creating its own processors with Intel is more than just a tech update; it’s a sign we are heading towards enhanced competition and potentially even commoditization at the chip level of the AI stack. As the demand for specialized AI capabilities skyrockets, this alliance could set a new standard for the industry, ensuring that the tech giants are not just consumers but also innovators in the semiconductor arena.

🤔 AI Transparency Act: A Step Forward or a Leap Back?

The Bytes:

✣ Rep. Adam Schiff proposes the “Generative AI Copyright Disclosure Act,” pushing for total transparency on the copyrighted content feeding AI's knowledge. It's a bold move aimed at peeling back the curtain on AI’s learning materials.

✣ The bill could impose a hefty administrative burden, potentially stifling AI innovation and progress.

✣ From the critic's corner (count me in), there's a buzz of worry that this bill sets the bar unrealistically high for AI developers and companies, forging a path strewn with bureaucratic hurdles.

✣ Despite snagging nods from over 200 big names in entertainment, including Billie Eilish and others, the bill's real-world applicability is under the microscope, stirring a mix of support and skepticism.

Why you should care: The AI Transparency Act is rooted in good intentions, striving to shield the creative community. Yet, the journey to ethical AI shouldn’t be a minefield of red tape. Striking a fair balance is key, or we will stifle the very progress we’ve just begun. In navigating the future of AI, the challenge lies in crafting rules that foster innovation rather than crush it.
