This week’s 5 top stories we don’t want you to miss:

1?? [AI model] Anthropic has unveiled its most sophisticated AI models to date, the Claude 3 series, which includes Haiku, Sonnet, and the most advanced model, Opus, all of which demonstrate enhanced capabilities in various areas such as analysis, forecasting, code generation, and multilingual conversation.

• In benchmark tests, Opus surpassed the performance of GPT-4 and Google's Gemini Ultra in domains like math, knowledge, and reasoning.
• Founded by former OpenAI employees Daniela and Dario Amodei in 2021, Anthropic has secured $7.3 billion in funding over the past year from major tech companies such as Google, Salesforce, and Amazon.

?

2?? [OpenAI] Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, accusing them of abandoning the company's founding mission of advancing AI to benefit humanity as an open-source nonprofit.

• The lawsuit claims that OpenAI has transformed into a closed-source subsidiary of Microsoft, limiting access to its technology to maximize profit, which goes against the original agreement Musk signed when financing the company.?
• Musk, who resigned from OpenAI's board in 2018 and no longer holds a stake, seeks a court order to force OpenAI to return to open source and prevent it and Microsoft from profiting off the technology, while he has also launched his own for-profit AI startup, X.ai, along with its chatbot, Grok.

3?? [Mental Health] ?Dartmouth researchers have developed MoodCapture, a smartphone app that uses AI and facial-image processing to detect early symptoms of depression with 75% accuracy.

• The app captures users' facial expressions and surroundings during regular phone use and evaluates the images for clinical cues associated with depression.
• The researchers believe this technology could be publicly available within the next five years with further development, potentially helping to close the gap between when people with depression need intervention and their access to mental health resources.

4?? [Fusion] Princeton researchers have developed an AI system that can predict disruptive "tearing" events in fusion plasma with up to 300 ms accuracy, enabling the AI to adjust reactor power and plasma shape to avoid disruptions during testing.

• This AI approach stands out by learning from real-world experimental data rather than theoretical physics, which could significantly improve the reliability and stability of fusion reactors.
• The development of this AI system brings us closer to the long-standing goal of generating abundant, clean fusion energy.

5?? [Sora] OpenAI has introduced Sora, a powerful new text-to-video AI system that generates high-quality, realistic short videos from text prompts, surpassing earlier models like Google's Lumiere in resolution, video length, and compositional capabilities.

• Sora combines features of text and image generating tools using a "diffusion transformer model" and has potential applications in entertainment, advertising, education, and even scientific simulations, although achieving a complete world simulator remains highly challenging.
• The main concerns surrounding tools like Sora revolve around their potential to spread disinformation, create deepfakes, infringe on intellectual property rights, and the need for proper safety measures and content moderation before public release.
