Stability AI is facing financial difficulties and has held discussions with potential buyers for a sale. In the first quarter of 2024, the company generated less than $5 million in revenue and lost over $30 million. The company owes close to $100 million in outstanding bills to cloud computing providers and others, adding to their financial struggles.

3. Microsoft’s Stock Price (and Emissions) Are Way Up 📈

Microsoft's 2024 Sustainability Report shows that their emissions and water usage have increased, with AI technologies being a major contributor. Microsoft's emissions and water usage have increased, primarily due to new AI technologies.

Despite setting ambitious climate goals, Microsoft has been unable to decrease their carbon footprint as they invest more in AI. However, the company is taking steps to address these issues and make their operations more sustainable. The company plans on investing in more sustainable practices, such as using renewable energy and reducing waste.

Sophia gave generic advice to the graduates, sharing common themes found in traditional commencement speeches. The decision to have a robot speak sparked backlash from students who felt it was impersonal, especially for those who had virtual high school graduations due to the pandemic.

Slay the ChatGPT chaos with one simple Chrome extension

You ever find yourself in a never-ending scroll to find that chat from last month?

Like… yo. Where’d it go?!

It’s kinda crazy that OpenAI still hasn’t given us a way to better organize chats with folders and simple color coordination.

Sure, there’s a handful of Chrome extensions that do this pretty well, but they’re all mostly full of bloat, adding like 50 other features you may or may not want.

We found one of the simplest Chrome extensions to better organize your ChatGPT chats.

🦾How You Can Leverage:

What’s that?

You don’t have like 15 hours to explore the depths of the new GPT-4O release from OpenAI?

We don’t blame ya.

After all, isn’t Generative AI supposed to help us win back our time?

Don’t worry — we’re dorks and have spent (maybe a little too much) time digging into the depths of the new powerhouse LLM offering from OpenAI.

After OpenAI announced its new model and features at its Spring Event, the AI world has been buzzing ever since about what it can (or can’t) do.

Lettuce warn ya — there’s a lotta bad info out there. And confusion.

So today, we simplified it be creating the 7 things you need to know about GPT-4O, and what OpenAI isn’t really telling the truth about.

And there’s SOOOOO much info in today’s show, that we’re gonna keep the 7 point breakdown short and to the point.

Here we gooooooo. 👇

7 – Not everything is out yet or free ⁉️

  • Not all capabilities of GPT-4O are live and most won't be free. Only the ‘base’ GPT-Omni model will go to free users, but not all of its capabilities will.

  • GPT-4O isn’t currently only available to paid ChatGPT Plus users, but should roll out to free users any day/week now.

  • Free users will likely not have access to the show-stopping features — the “Her” AI assistant that can see, hear and talk in real-time, and the AI agent-esque desktop version of ChatGPT.

  • Those also haven’t been rolled out to paid users yet, but likely will be soon.

Our take: People are saying, “Oh! GPT-4O is free. We can cancel ChatGPT Plus!” Kinda. But also kinda wrong. The GPT-4O model itself isn’t the big takeaway here. It’s the “Live” Omni assistant and the desktop program that will make ChatGPT Plus well worth the $20/mo.

6 – Some of the best features weren’t announced 📢

Like… whoa.

Did you know the new version of GPT-4O can create new fonts, spin up 3D renderings, create more consistent illustrations inside Dall-E, and create intricately detailed photo illustrations?

Our take: Call us keto, but we’d say some of the unmentioned portions of the GPT-4O model are straight nuts.

If you want to see the whole list, go to this page and check out the examples an try some of the prompts yourself.

5 – We’ve seen GPT-4O before 🕵️‍♂️

Halt! Who goes there?

Oh, that’s you im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot!

Like we talked about a few weeks ago, OpenAI had ‘leaked’ some mystery models on the Chatbot Arena.

And OpenAI confirmed one of those mysterious models was in fact GPT-4O.

Our Take: The ELO scores for im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot were almost quite literally off the charts. For those new around here, ELO scores are kinda just a point system for which LLM is best.

Users put in a prompt, and see two responses from unnamed models. Then, they chose the best response. And im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot (now known as GPT-4O) was crushing faces and taking names, well ahead of Claude 3 Opus, Gemini 1.5 Pro and Meta’s Llama 3.

4 – There’s more models out there 🔍

What’s that?

More rumors?

Well, im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot wasn’t the only mystery model that made its way to the Chatbot Arena.

im-a-good-gpt2-chatbot and GPT2-chatbot also made dorky splashes around the AI corners of the interwebs.

Our Take:

Sooooo…. are there more models coming soon?

Yes. OpenAI literally flashed this on the screen for about 0.2 seconds during their Spring Event presentation.

Mistake or subliminal messaging?

Like we talked about on today’s show, we expect to see the paid ChatGPT Plus be upgraded from GPT-4O a few weeks/months after this rollout is complete.

3 – UI/UX updates brought more features 🛠️

Small tweak? Or big change to how we use models?

Aside from some tidying up of the interface, the user experience inside ChatGPT did change.

Below your output, you can now swap the model.

Our Take:

Prompting is a never-ending journey. Kinda like distance running. You’ve gotta always get your steps in and pound the pavement, or you’ll lose your skills.

Trying the same prompt between GPT-4 an GPT-4o is a great way to see how prompt handling has changed between models.

The sooner you learn, the more you’ll be able to take advantage.

2 – ChatGPT kinda fibbed about memory. Again. 🧠

Did ChatGPT flat out lie about ChatGPT’s memory?

Not really.

Semantics, maybe.

But OpenAI has touted GPT-4o’s 128K memory, or the amount of information a chat can store in its context window before it starts to forget things. That’s roughly 95,000 words of back and forth conversation with ChatGPT before it starts to just respond with:

Huh? Whuuuuut?

128K isn’t that bad, but it’s well behind other LLM competitors.

Buuuuuuuuuuut…..

OpenAI isn’t super clear about the whole 128K limit. Turns out, that’s still only if you’re using the API. So the vast majority of everyday users getting our LLM inside of ChatGPT are still stuck with 32K memory, or about 28,000 words.

Our Take:

Memory and small context window is one of the last areas where OpenAI is not able to compete.

1 – ChatGPT DID build an answers engine 🚂

Real talk — this is dang impressive y’all.

OpenAI didn’t even mention what we think may be its biggest updates: Browse with Bing.

For the uninitiated, Browse with Bing is a built-in feature in ChatGPT Plus that allows the model to query the internet (with Bing) to find information past its 2023 knowledge cutoff date.

About nine months ago, the Browse with Bing functionality was so finicky and unreliable, we had to warn people not to use it.

There’s been a few updates since, but now?

Dang. It’s actually a straight up answers engine now.

Our take:

AI search is the future of the internet. And we believe that OpenAI is still hard at work on a search engine type platform, or maybe an answers engine.

What’s that?

Think of Perplexity or Google’s Search Generative Experience.

OpenAI wants a slice of the search pie. And with this under-the-radar update to Browse with Bing, we think they could start that shift sooner rather than later.
