Generative AI News Rundown - A Deep Dive Into ChatGPT-4o, Gemini Upgrades and Intrigue & More
News for the week ending May 16, 2024
The Generative AI News Rundown (GAIN) this week goes deep on the two biggest sets of industry announcements in 2024. OpenAI introduced GPT-4o as a new model and the foundation for ChatGPT. The company also offered more than a dozen videos and other use case examples, which enabled us to break down many of the nuances enabled by the new model. Is this the voice assistant everyone always wanted?
A day later, Google debuted its latest updates for Gemini and offered a preview of Project Astra, the upgraded future of Gemini assistant, which they say will turn it into an agent for users. Google provided just a couple of videos and examples, but it also showed off a much broader set of impacts across its applications. These include search, Workspace, photos, and smart glasses (?). In all, Google had more than 100 announcement at I/O and most related to AI.
As always, you can read the news through the links below or watch my discussion with Eric Schwartz of Voicebot.ai via the YouTube video above. I definitely recommend watching the video discussion. Beyond the conversation, we play videos of several of the demos of ChatGPT-4o and Gemini and offer a nuanced analysis of the different features and innovations that emerged.
Below are 20 articles and blog posts that provide added context on the biggest news across the generative AI landscape. There were a few stories we did not get to that were also of significant impact and we will likely work them into the next episode of GAIN.
