Generative AI News This Week - Grok, OpenAI Dev Day, GitHub Copilot, Aleph Alpha & More

Top generative AI industry news from the week of November 10th

The November 10th edition of the Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown is here. This week represents a market shift. OpenAI Dev Day is the biggest news, but Grok from x.ai/Twitter/X, GitHub Copilot, a big cyber attack, and other stories depict a rapidly shifting market. We saw shifts earlier this year, but many seemed reactionary or random. Today, everything seems much more intentional and grounded.
