It’s been a strange 48 hours in the world of AI, with the ‘ChatGPT moment for Music’ from Udio, that has reminded millions of what AI is capable of, and papers from Google that show that models can give infinite attention to text but we also got befuddling updates from OpenAI that suggest that not all is smooth sailing. We’ll begin with the quirky new tool on Udio.com and how musicians are reacting to it, then cover the strange manner of the release of GPT-4-Turbo with Vision and quickly touch on Mixtral 8 x 22b and Command R+ before turning to a fascinating new ‘Infinite Context’ paper from Google.

Advanced Voice is here, but is it even the biggest story? After some quick ChatGPT Voice tips, I’ll show you how the scale of OpenAI’s ambitions just got 5x’ed: superintelligence is now a serious endeavour. Then, Gemini 1.5 Pro 002, the awkwardly named model that I pit against o1 preview. Finally, NotebookLM, a tool that I would be stunned if you can’t imagine one use for. Guess starring a other news items that have missed your radar, it’s all starting to make me wonder if AI’ll ever slow down… Assembly AI Speech to Text: https://www.assemblyai.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=ai_explainedhttps://www.assemblyai.com/blog/ald-improvements/AI Insiders: https://www.patreon.com/AIExplainedChapters:00:00 - Intro00:40 - Voice Tips01:47 - Altman Predictions04:10 - Story 107:36 - Story 213:33 - Story 3Voice Rollout ‘Early’: https://x.com/sama/status/1838864011321872407Challenges: https://x.com/joannejang/status/18386587576368213225-7 5GW (!)

I will give you the 4 reasons OpenAI are asking Microsoft to build a $100 billion Stargate supercomputer, likely in a US desert. From matching Google, to artificial intelligences taking time to think, you'll get a glimpse of what's next over the coming years. Plus, I put it all to Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity, and a former OpenAI researcher.

Surely, it is worth taking a few moments to reflect on the claim from OpenAI that we’ve reached ‘human-level reasoning’ in their o1 series of AI models? I scrutinize Altman’s dev day comments (picking out 4 highlights) and cover the most recent papers and analysis of o1’s capabilities. Then, what the colossal new valuation means for OpenAI and the context you might not has realized. We’ll look further down the ‘Levels of AGI’ chart, cover a NotebookLM update, and end with a powerful question over whether we should, ultimately, be aiming to automate OpenAI.Assembly AI Speech to Text: https://www.assemblyai.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=influencer&utm_campaign=ai_explained https://www.assemblyai.com/blog/ald-improvements/AI Insiders: https://www.patreon.com/AIExplainedChapters:00:00 – Introduction 00:52 – Human-level Problem Solvers?03:22 – Very Steep Progress + Huge Gap Coming04:23 – Scientists React 05:44 – SciCode 06:55 – Benchmarks Harder to Make + Mensa07:30 – Agents 08:36 – For-profit and Funding Blocker09:45 – AGI Clause + Microsoft Definition11:23 – Gates Shift12:43 – NotebookLM Update + Assembly 14:11 – Automating OpenAIReuters Funding-block Exclusive: https://www.reuters.com/technology/openai-tells-investor-not-invest-five-ai-startups-including-sutskevers-ssi-2024-10-02/?s=09OpenAI Scaling AGI: https://openai.com/index/scale-the-benefits-of-ai/NYT Revenue Story: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/27/technology/openai-chatgpt-investors-funding.htmlFor Profit Move: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/how-openai-cfo-sarah-friar-is-keeping-startup-flush-with-cash?utm_campaign=Editorial&utm_content=Article&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_source=twitter&rc=sy0ihqBloomberg Levels Chart: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-11/openai-sets-levels-to-track-progress-toward-superintelligent-ai?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=emailScientists React, in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03169-9Math prof: https://x.com/robertghrist/status/1841462507543949581?t=5zV3VpQI0mbrSU9_QRtfkQ&s=19AGI Clause: https://openai.com/our-structure/Microsoft Sci-fi: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/do-more-with-ai/artificial-general-intelligence?form=MA13KPMensa Tweet: https://x.com/JgaltTweets/status/1836093456831402481Sci-Code: https://x.com/OfirPress/status/1841509950679396387https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.13168FT Agentic Systems 2025: https://www.ft.com/content/30677465-33bb-4f74-a8e6-239980091f7ahttps://the-decoder.com/bill-gates-does-not-expect-gpt-5-to-be-much-better-than-gpt-4/Bill Gates Turnaround: https://x.com/tsarnick/status/1839915272179986905OpenAI Preparedness Framework: https://cdn.openai.com/openai-preparedness-framework-beta.pdfhttps://openai.com/global-affairs/openai-s-comment-to-the-ntia-on-open-model-weights/NotebookLM: https://notebooklm.google/ https://x.com/stevenbjohnson/status/1839352311732391990My Coursera Course - The 8 Most Controversial Terms in AI: https://imp.i384100.net/m57g3MNon-hype Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/I use Descript to edit my videos (no pauses or filler words!): https://get.descript.com/ldgxfuj2bhnbMany people expense AI Insiders for work.
