The Real ChatGPT is Finally Here

When ChatGPT got rid of its shiny new wrappers and the initial euphoria began to dwindle, it looked like the chatbot had failed to live up to the massive hype. This was during the days when users dug in to look for actual use cases of the chatbot. They soon realised that the chatbot hallucinated a lot and couldn’t be fully trusted.

Enter GPT-4V(ision). Now, OpenAI is equipped with multimodal capabilities and has widened the use case of ChatGPT to a level that it has encompassed almost everything. It can read texts, recognise images, design websites, and whatnot.

However, the biggest development has happened in the field of medical science. Radiologists can use the model to decipher and critically analyse images that can help them infer details from a scan or X-ray.

The auto insurance sector too has something to cheer about. GPT-4V is capable of giving a detailed report on the type and severity of the damage caused based on mere pictures of the vehicle.

There’s more, ChatGPT's Code Interpreter has simplified coding, but GPT-4V has taken the chatbot's coding abilities to a new level. Now, it can effortlessly translate basic drawings or whiteboard scribbles into functional websites or app codes. This advancement in low code/no code options makes coding even more user-friendly, prompting questions about the future of traditional coding platforms.

Sounds great, but the platform is still far from perfect. GPT-4V can still generate errors when it comes to reading minute details or counting variables that are too similar. The chatbot is aware of its limitations and advises users to cross-check the results instead of completely relying on it.?

Google is the Biggest Hurdle?

Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella was questioned by the US Justice Department for an hour regarding the ongoing antitrust trial against Google. Nadella highlighted the entrenched nature of Google Search in people's daily routines and suggested that changing user habits would require altering defaults. Microsoft had hoped to challenge Google's search dominance with Bing, powered by GPT-4, but Bing's market share remains at 3%.?

While it saw a 16% increase in page visits since GPT-4's launch, Google continues to dominate the search space. Nadella claimed that Microsoft's investments have helped keep search alternatives afloat, but smaller privacy-focused engines like DuckDuckGo and Neeva still depend on giants like Microsoft for indexing the web. Despite Microsoft's efforts, Google's grip on default search placements in mobile and browsers limits users' choices.

Samsung Buckles Up

Samsung's semiconductor business, faced with declining demand for memory chips and competition in the AI chip market, is seeking partnerships to bolster its position. Canadian startup Tenstorrent has ordered AI chips from Samsung's chip manufacturing arm, although financial details remain undisclosed. Meanwhile, NVIDIA is considering outsourcing chip manufacturing to Samsung to reduce reliance on TSMC.?

This move comes after Samsung's semiconductor division reported significant losses earlier this year, prompting production cuts. While demand for memory chips has been sluggish, there has been strong demand for AI chips, with annual growth rates reaching 30%. To maintain its position, Samsung is investing in foundry business, building new fabrication plants, and expanding capacity to produce advanced chips.

Modern Problems Need Modern Solutions

With the rise of cloud-native applications, managing changes to cloud assets has become a significant challenge for developers. To address this, observability tools have gained prominence, allowing organisations to track, measure, and optimise application performance.?

While observability is not a new concept, its importance has grown considerably, with 86% of Indian organisations recognizing it as crucial for achieving core business objectives. As companies transition from on-premise servers to the cloud, the demand for software that can visualise and monitor cloud services has surged.?

This trend is expected to continue as more businesses move away from non-cloud and monolithic architectures. Observability has become a fundamental aspect of modern IT operations, enabling efficient backend management and enhanced system security.
