Start-up that caught our attention this week #1 🚀 Soon after a team discussion on having AI PAs - this exciting news came in! Inflection AI founded by industry veterans Karén Simonyan, Reid Hoffman, and Mustafa Suleyman, is on a mission to redefine the concept. Their true personal assistant, Pi (Personal Intelligence), aims to be your coach, confidante, creative partner, and sounding board 💻 They have recently raised $1.3 billion in funding, valuing the startup at $4 billion! The funds will be used to develop a more powerful foundation model. Pi currently offers conversational AI, personalized assistance, creative collaboration, knowledge access, and task management capabilities, providing a comprehensive and human-like interactive experience. The team of 35 has assembled a strong team of AI researchers from prestigious institutions like Google DeepMind, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI while the recent announcement of Pi and its clean, calming design marks Inflection AI's emergence from stealth mode. We're excited to see such new developments in the AI space and how they continue to shape the future of personal intelligence - and possibly our workspace as well!

https://lnkd.in/eWR2G4CC It’s high time for more AI transparency This story originally appeared in The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get stories like this in your inbox first, sign up here. That was fast. In less than a week since Meta launched its AI model, LLaMA 2, startups and researchers have already used it to develop a chatbot and an AI assistant. It will be only a matter of time until companies start launching products built with the model. In my story, I look at the threat LLaMA 2 could pose to OpenAI, Google, and others. Having a nimble, transparent, and customizable model that is free to use could help companies create AI products and services faster than they could with a big, sophisticated proprietary model like OpenAI’s GPT-4. Read it here.  But what really stands out to me is the extent to which Meta is throwing its doors open. It will allow the wider AI community to download the model and tweak it. This could help make it safer and more efficient. And crucially, it could demonstrate the benefits of transparency over secrecy when it comes to the inner workings of AI models. This could not be more timely, or more important.  Tech companies are rushing to release their AI models into the wild, and we’...

Perplexity AI, a promising startup founded by ex-Google AI researchers, has just unveiled its new 'online' LLMs, signaling a potential shift in the search engine landscape. Their unique approach integrates a web index with real-time, accurate information, delivered through an AI chatbot interface. This innovation not only demonstrates the rapid advancement in AI technology but also showcases how these tools can enhance our access to current and factual information. It's fascinating to see how this could challenge the dominance of traditional search engines like Google, especially with Perplexity's strong performance and commitment to up-to-date data. This development is a testament to the evolving nature of AI and its increasing relevance in our daily digital interactions. Looking forward to seeing how this impacts the industry and our information consumption habits! https://lnkd.in/eW_CWDEY

Two interesting takes on AI developments (found via https://lnkd.in/eP4CnGiG Marginal Revolution University): 1. "Is generative AI doomed to disrupt only low-revenue industries, like writing and digital art?"  You can “call it the supply paradox of AI: the easier it is to train an AI to do something, the less economically valuable that thing is” AI gets "good because of massive data sets... but adding to the data set isn't lucrative, as there was already so much of it!" Excuse me, but the industries AI is disrupting are not lucrative by Erik Hoel (X/Twitter: @erikphoel) https://lnkd.in/eryNdieK 2. A GPT-based bot or tool that recommends ethnic food in your area, based on the rules laid down by Tyler Cowen in his book, An Economist Gets Lunch. A summary of these rules is this: -Look for restaurants that specialize in one cuisine -Look for restaurants in low rent areas (strip malls, with low overhead allow owners to focus on food quality) -Beware restaurants that focus on ambiance over food quality. (a popular restaurant may be a good sign, but if the restaurant is too popular the ownership might relax the high standards that lead to their success) More details on how this tool was developed and its performance vis-à-vis other resources (search engines, Yelp) can be read here: EconEats: An AI Dining Guide by Josh Knox https://lnkd.in/ex6Hr7AQ
