New huge ChatGPT update
OpenAI has introduced an updated version of ChatGPT, which combines all the capabilities of GPT-4, including Browsing, DALL-E 3, and Data Analysis, accessible within a single interface without the need to switch between modes.
Highlights:
Enhanced Functionality: Users can now upload PDFs and documents for both conversation and analysis, similar to other GPT wrappers like Claude. This update precedes the highly anticipated OpenAI Dev Day, hinting at potential major announcements.
Potential Plugins: While not included yet, references to "GPT-4 Magic Create" have been found in the code, suggesting future enhancements.
Why it's important: This integrated update streamlines user experience by offering multiple AI capabilities within one interface. It marks a significant advancement in the development of all-in-one AI assistants, making AI-powered tasks more accessible and efficient for users.
Add ChatGPT to your website as a customer support assistant
Imagine training ChatGPT on your data and using it as a customer service guru on your website. It can handle most of the customers' questions in any language.

[Leaked] Instagram's AI friend
AI chatbot apps like Character AI have seen a surge in users, with hundreds of millions of monthly visits. People are spending hours daily chatting with AI-generated characters.
Highlights:
Meta's Potential Move: Leaks suggest that Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, might be working on a feature that allows users to create their personalized AI friends.
Customizable AI Friends: Screenshots shared by Alessandro Paluzzi indicate that users may have the ability to choose various attributes for their AI friends, including ethnicity, gender, age, personality, and interests.
Why it's important: The growing popularity of AI chatbots as companions reflects the evolving role of technology in people's lives. If Meta introduces customizable AI friends, it could signify a significant shift in how people interact with AI, potentially offering companionship and personalized experiences in the digital world.
New 8k Embedding model from Jine AI
Jina AI has introduced an 8K Embedding model, similar to OpenAI's Ada model. Embeddings are a way to transform words, phrases, or data into numerical representations, making it easier for computers to compare, sort, or identify patterns in them.
Highlights:
Introducing jina-embedding-v2: This new model, called jina-embedding-v2, can handle prompts with up to 8K tokens. It's an open-source model that can provide results similar to OpenAI's text-embedding-ada-002.
Two models: base and small. Base Model - Designed for demanding tasks that require high accuracy, such as business analytics. Small Model - Geared towards lightweight applications.
Platform development: Jina AI is working on creating a platform similar to OpenAI's embeddings API. This platform will simplify the process of connecting your application to the model.
Why it's important: Many "Chat with {your-data}" tools rely on embeddings to function effectively. Jina AI's new 8K Embedding model offers enhanced capabilities for processing and understanding data, which can be invaluable for various applications, from business analytics to lightweight apps.
The Beatles' final song is released thanks to AI
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, two surviving members of The Beatles, have released a new Beatles single called "Now and Then." This song features an AI-generated version of John Lennon, created using machine learning.
Highlights:
Unreleased Demo: The song "Now and Then" had been stuck since the 1990s because the analog tape technology of that time couldn't separate John Lennon's blended piano and vocals from the rest of the track.
AI Audio Processing: With the help of AI audio processing, Lennon's parts were extracted from the original recording. McCartney and Starr were then able to add new bass, drums, guitar, and strings to the song.
Full Band Collaboration: The result is a song that features performances from all four original band members. Paul McCartney has mentioned that this might be the last new collaboration featuring the full band.
Why it's important: The use of AI in music, while raising questions about the authenticity of such creations, allows for the revival of old material and the potential for new collaborations. It demonstrates how technology can be a powerful tool for artists to keep their music alive and introduce it to new generations.
Apple's next-gen AI health tech
Apple is planning to upgrade its Apple Watch and AirPods with advanced health monitoring capabilities. These improvements will allow these devices to detect health conditions like hypertension (high blood pressure) and sleep apnea without the need for additional specialized equipment.
Highlights:
AI-Powered Hearing Assistance: The company intends to use AI-driven speech analysis and audio tuning to turn AirPods into hearing aids. They will also be able to conduct hearing tests, potentially helping users with hearing impairments.
Subscription Health Services: Apple is working on a subscription-based health coaching service. This service will offer personalized recommendations for workouts and nutrition based on user's health data and AI models.
Why it's important: Apple's push into advanced health monitoring and AI-driven healthcare services signifies a growing trend in using technology to improve personal health. These innovations have the potential to make health monitoring more accessible and convenient for individuals, ultimately leading to better overall well-being.
