High Level: Say Hello to Figure, The AI Robot 🎨

The Bytes:

✣ Humanoid Robotics Breakthrough: Figure Robot, developed by Figure AI, is heralded as one of the world’s first commercially viable autonomous humanoid robots, designed to integrate seamlessly into various human environments.

✣ Versatile Applications: With the ability to perform tasks ranging from manufacturing to logistics, warehousing, and retail, Figure Robot represents a significant advancement in robotics, combining human-like dexterity with cutting-edge AI.

✣ Strategic Partnerships: Figure AI has partnered with BMW to deploy Figure Robot in car manufacturing, showcasing the robot’s potential to revolutionize industrial processes and address labor shortages.

Why You Should Care: We’ve talked about Figure before, but the new video above came out recently and made me want to share how far they have come. The introduction of AI robots into the commercial sector marks a new era in robotics, where humanoids can work alongside humans, enhancing productivity and safety across industries. This begs the question, what will the world post-human labor look like?

High Level: New Embedding Models and API Updates From OpenAI 🎓

The Bytes:

✣ New Embedding Models: OpenAI has launched a new generation of embedding models, including text-embedding-3-small and text-embedding-3-large, which offer stronger performance and reduced pricing compared to the previous generation model, text-embedding-ada-0021.

✣ Enhanced Performance: The new models have improved the average score on the multi-language retrieval benchmark (MIRACL) from 31.4% to 54.9%, and on the English tasks benchmark (MTEB) from 61.0% to 64.6%.

✣ Cost Efficiency: Pricing for text-embedding-3-small has been reduced by 5X compared to text-embedding-ada-002, making it more affordable for developers to utilize.

✣ GPT-4 Turbo Preview: An updated GPT-4 Turbo preview model has been introduced, featuring improved instruction following, JSON mode, more reproducible outputs, and parallel function calling.

✣ Upcoming Price Reduction: OpenAI announced that it will soon lower the pricing on its GPT-3.5 Turbo model by 25%, making it more accessible for developers.

Why You Should Care: This one is for the devs and wizard readers. These updates from OpenAI are a great step forward in making AI more powerful and accessible for developers, enabling a wide range of applications and services.

High Level: Wolfram Research GPT Recommendation 🚀

The Bytes:

✣ Enhanced GPT Capabilities: Wolfram Research has augmented ChatGPT with Wolfram GPT, providing access to powerful computation, accurate math, curated knowledge, real-time data, and visualization through Wolfram Alpha and Wolfram Language.

✣ Broad Coverage: Wolfram GPT offers extensive coverage across various domains, from chemistry to geography, astronomy to popular culture, and nutrition to engineering, along with the ability to execute algorithmic code.

✣ Real-World Applications: The capabilities of Wolfram GPT make it a powerful tool for a wide range of applications, including academic research, industry-specific calculations, and complex data analysis.

Why You Should Care: It’s powerful. One of the best GPTs I’ve used on OpenAI’s GPT platform. It allows you the ability to perform complex computations and access a wealth of knowledge and data, all within the conversational OpenAI chat you are used to without having to do a significant amount of prompt engineering.

/Imagination of The Day: Let’s end the day on a creative note. Today, I’m sharing another AI creator’s work. @ArTiV3RSE is great and shares excellent work often. This is “Girl with a Pearl Earring'“ by Johannes Vermeer in a “Pixar” style. The results are pretty awesome. Check out his original tweet to see the others.
