🔍 OpenAI offers a peek inside the guts of ChatGPT, releasing a research paper on a method for reverse engineering the workings of AI models. Read More

• The research, co-authored by former OpenAI employees Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, outlines a technique to identify patterns that represent specific concepts inside GPT-4, one of OpenAI's largest AI models.

• Knowing how a model represents certain concepts could be a step toward dialing down those associated with unwanted behavior and tuning an AI system to favor certain topics or ideas.

• While the method needs refinement, OpenAI researchers hope it will lead to practical ways to control AI models and increase trust in powerful AI by providing assurances about their behavior.

🌆 Elon Musk's xAI selects Memphis for its site to create the world's largest supercomputer called the "Gigafactory of Compute". Read More

• The Greater Memphis Chamber revealed that Memphis had landed the planned project, which will be the largest capital investment by a new-to-market company in the city's history.

• xAI expects to create high-quality jobs upon completion of Phase 1, with opportunities for more substantial investment in future phases.

🍎 Apple's push into AI allegedly happened after software chief Craig Federighi tried Microsoft's GitHub Copilot coding tool in December 2022. Read More

• After testing Copilot, which uses OpenAI technology to help programmers write, troubleshoot, and translate code, Federighi became an AI "convert" and tasked engineering employees with creating new ways to integrate AI features into Apple's apps.

• Apple accelerated development on internal generative AI, even recruiting some former Apple Car employees, but is also expected to rely on external partnerships with OpenAI and Google.

• Rumors suggest that iOS 18 will incorporate AI into key apps like Messages, Mail, and Photos, while Siri will be overhauled with generative AI to become smarter and more capable.

🧠 Apple is set to unveil "Apple Intelligence," a new AI system for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that will automatically choose between on-device and cloud-powered AI. Read More

• Apple Intelligence will provide AI-powered summarizations, reply suggestions, and an overhaul for Siri, focusing on features with "broad appeal" rather than image or video generation.

• The system will use Apple's own technology and tools from OpenAI, with an algorithm determining whether tasks can be processed on-device or require cloud processing.

• To address security concerns, Apple won't build profiles based on user data and will make the AI capabilities opt-in, with device requirements likely tied to the M1 chip or later for iPad and Mac, and potentially limited to iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 models.

🎨 Anti-AI app Cara skyrockets from 40k to 650k users in a week as artists flee platforms enabling unethical use of their work. Read More

• The company anonymizes chats by removing users' IP addresses and replacing them with DuckDuckGo's, ensuring model providers can't tie chats back to individuals.

• While AI Chat is free, it has an undisclosed daily usage limit to prevent misuse, and DuckDuckGo is considering a paid version with higher limits and access to more sophisticated AI models.
