AI Breakthroughs and Voice Tech: Boosting Your Productivity
New AI models, ChatGPT shortcuts, and voice-to-text tech to revolutionize your workflow.
I just returned from Munich, where I had the fantastic opportunity to work with a client who's now become a true partner.
From my first Oktoberfest experience to running six intensive workshops, the week was filled with learning, growth, and plenty of excitement.
The highlight?
Watching the team excel in our final GPT competition after our 12-week AI-first mindset training.
Seeing them save hours on reporting, Salesforce data access, and pitch deck preparation was truly rewarding.
This week's newsletter is packed with insights from my travels and recent experiences.
We'll look at practical AI applications that can streamline your business processes, consider the ethical use of AI for positive impact, and share some exciting updates on the growth of our AI community.
Plus, I've got some tips on balancing the thrill of a new business venture with staying true to your core values - in my case, curiosity, efficiency, and simplicity.
Remember, whether you're an AI expert or just starting out, we're all on this journey together.
Got questions? Need support?

Your success is my driving force, and I'm here to help you harness the power of AI for good.

News:
Liquid AI Unveils Powerful New Foundation Models
Liquid AI has announced a new series of Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs) that achieve state-of-the-art performance while maintaining a smaller memory footprint. The 1B, 3B, and 40B parameter models demonstrate exceptional capabilities across vision and language tasks, rivaling proprietary systems from industry leaders.
This is exciting news for anyone using AI. You can now run the 40B model on just 1-2 GPUs and the smaller models on mobile devices. This update makes running your own models more accessible than ever. Soon, with Large Action Models (LAM), we'll be able to teach these models to perform actions for us, potentially creating a team of AI assistants that can handle tasks independently.
NVIDIA Releases Powerful Open-Source AI Model
NVIDIA has unveiled a new family of open-source AI models called NVLM 1.0, led by the 72 billion parameter NVLM-D-72B. These models show exceptional performance across vision and language tasks, rivaling proprietary systems from companies like OpenAI and Google.
This development is significant because NVIDIA, already a leader in AI hardware, is now offering a powerful model for free. This means you can potentially buy the hardware, avoid monthly fees, access an incredibly capable model, and keep your data secure on your own devices.
Futurists Predict Significant Changes by 2035
Futurists are forecasting dramatic changes to society by 2035 as AI and other technologies rapidly advance. While some predict the arrival of artificial general intelligence, others warn of potential job losses and societal disruption. Futurist Langdon Morris emphasizes that AI is just one of many forces reshaping the world, including climate change, geopolitics, and economic transformation.
These topics are now regular discussion points at family gatherings and dinners. While job losses are a concern, it's important to remember that similar shifts occurred during previous technological revolutions. The key is to educate yourself on these topics now and take action. Learn about AI so you can be among those who thrive when these generational shifts happen.
