AI This Week: Siri’s New ChatGPT Powers and a GPT in a Spreadsheet!

In the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, this week has seen some remarkable developments that are shaping the future of technology.

Here’s a look at the most notable AI trends and open-source contributions that are making waves in the industry.

• Industry: Apple is set to revolutionize its virtual assistant by integrating ChatGPT natively into Siri. This significant update is expected to enhance Siri’s capabilities and will be available to users for free later this year.
• Open Source: In an impressive feat of ingenuity, a developer has successfully recreated a complete GPT architecture with 85,000 parameters within a spreadsheet. This open-source project demonstrates the versatility and adaptability of AI technologies.
• Alignment: Anthropic has shared insights into the development process of their language model, Claude, through a new video. The video highlights the methods used to shape and train Claude’s character and personality, offering a glimpse into the intricate world of AI alignment.
• Leaderboard: Predibase has introduced “The Fine-tuning Index,” a tool that allows users to visualize the performance of open models across 31 distinct tasks. This index serves as a valuable resource for comparing and selecting the most effective models for specific applications.
• Robotics: A collaboration between Hugging Face and Pollen Robotics has resulted in the creation of an open-source robot capable of performing household chores. This project marks a significant step forward in the practical application of robotics in daily life.

In addition to these trending signals, the AI community has also contributed to the following top repositories:

• Coding: The ‘code2prompt’ repository transforms an entire codebase into a structured Markdown prompt for language models. It provides a detailed view of the source tree, token counts, and allows for extensive customization.
• Speech Recognition: ‘FunClip’ is an open-source video speech recognition and clipping tool that boasts accuracy and ease of use. It integrates LLM-based AI clipping and is built on Alibaba’s FunASR and Paraformer-Large models.

These developments not only highlight the rapid progress in AI but also underscore the collaborative spirit of the open-source community in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
