OpenAI’s Dev Day brings Realtime API and other treats for AI app developers

At OpenAI's Dev Day 2024, the company introduced a new Realtime API, enabling developers to create low-latency voice applications, simplifying processes that previously required multiple steps. Other major announcements included tools for fine-tuning models with both images and text, and cost reductions aimed at maintaining competitiveness in the AI space.

OpenAI bets on AI agents becoming mainstream by 2025

OpenAI expects AI-powered assistants to become mainstream by 2025, as companies like Google and Apple race to launch AI agents capable of reasoning and completing complex tasks for users. At its recent developer day, OpenAI showcased its o1 model series and GPT-4o's advanced voice capabilities, allowing developers to build real-time voice-interactive applications, driving the company's push towards profitability.

🌐 AI in Various Sectors

Healthcare: NTU Singapore and the National Healthcare Group have launched the Centre of AI in Medicine (C-AIM) to apply AI in healthcare, focusing on mental health, elderly care, cancer screening, and medical imaging. The center aims to enhance patient care and public health by driving research and collaboration with global partners.

Robotics: Amazon is enhancing its workplace experience by integrating AI and robotics to improve productivity, job satisfaction, and safety for employees. This initiative includes upskilling programs, like the $1.2 billion Upskilling Pledge, and the use of robotics to handle repetitive tasks, allowing workers to focus on more complex roles while improving overall safety and ergonomics.

Social Media and Interaction: Dark traffic, caused by new, undetectable adblockers, hides 14-21% of publishers' audiences, leading to significant revenue loss. These brutal adblockers block analytics, ads, and promotions, requiring publishers to adopt resilient ad delivery to regain monetization from this hidden audience

🚀 Tech Industry Moves

Nvidia has launched its new open-source AI model, NVLM 1.0, designed to compete with leading models like GPT-4 and Google's AI systems. This model family, which includes the NVLM-D-72B with 72 billion parameters, excels in both vision and language tasks, and Nvidia’s decision to make it open-source aims to drive innovation and foster broader AI research and development.

Nvidia and Accenture have partnered to bring agentic AI, capable of making independent decisions and completing tasks without human supervision, to enterprises, aiming to boost productivity and innovation. While this technology promises significant advancements, concerns about job displacement and ethical risks are growing, as agentic AI has the potential to automate complex tasks traditionally handled by human workers.

Google's latest update to its Gemini AI tool makes sharing images easier by allowing users to send images directly from other apps through a new Gemini icon in the share menu. This update, available in version v1.0.668480831, enhances user experience by streamlining the process of interacting with AI and posing questions about shared images.

Google has made Gemini Live, its AI assistant, free for all Android users, previously only available via a subscription. The assistant is designed to understand casual conversations, multitask, and even speculate, aiming to provide a more human-like interaction compared to other AI assistants like Alexa and Siri. It offers multiple voice options and can handle tasks while chatting, marking a significant upgrade in AI-powered voice assistance.

⚖️ AI Ethics and Regulation

Research on honesty in large language models (LLMs) emphasizes the need for self-knowledge, where models recognize their knowledge gaps, and self-expression, ensuring accurate communication of their internal knowledge. Recent studies focus on improving models' ability to handle uncertainty and reduce hallucinations, while future efforts aim to enhance honesty in long-form instruction-following tasks and across various model types.

💡 Emerging AI Technologies and Companies

ByteDance rumored to be planning new AI model trained with Huawei chips

ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, is planning to develop a new AI model using Huawei's Ascend 910B chips due to U.S. restrictions on accessing advanced AI chips like Nvidia's. Despite ByteDance’s shift to domestic suppliers, the project faces challenges due to chip shortages, slowing the development of the new AI model.

KT Corporation and Microsoft take ‘giant step’ to accelerate AI innovation in Korea
