???OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, thinks better days are ahead
Sam Altman thinks that OpenAI's industry-leading LLM, GPT 4, "kind of sucks." In a recent interview the OpenAI CEO shared that he expects a significant leap in performance from the upcoming GPT-5 large language model, which is expected to be released later this year. While details on the new model are scarce, Altman believes GPT-5 will outperform its predecessor GPT-4 by a similar margin as GPT-4 surpassed GPT-3. He also highlighted OpenAI's commitment to continuous improvement and a deliberate deployment strategy that allows for thoughtful consideration of the implications of AI advancements.?
?? Vroom! Nvidia gets even faster!
Nvidia extended its lead in the race to power AI workloads. CEO Jensen Huang announced its new AI-focused hardware, the Blackwell B200 GPU and GB200 superchip. B200 offers up to 20 petaflops (holy crap -- that's fast!) of performance and GB200 which combines two B200 GPUs with a CPU can deliver 30 times better performance and 25 times lower power consumption compared to the previous generation. Nvidia is targeting big companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Oracle to buy these new powerful chips.

???AI to shakeup every high school's Battle of the Bands
Buckle up, music lovers! A new startup called Suno is shaking things up with an AI that can practically write your next song. Just type in a description, like "gloomy blues played solo on an acoustic guitar by a heartbroken robot," and Suno will crank out a surprisingly catchy tune. The founders say their goal is to democratize music creation, letting anyone become a composer. But some folks are worried. Will this spell doom for human musicians? What is Taylor Swift going to do? And could streaming services be drowning in a sea of AI-powered jams? (Rolling Stone followed up their Suno article with a podcast that's also worth checking out.)
What’s new?
Introducing "strict mode"
When using AI to generate a new answer, you can now check a box indicating whether or not you want to use strict mode. What is strict mode? That's exactly what I'm here to tell you! ?? In Vendorful, by default we pass a certain amount of relevant information to the LLM to help synthesize a new answer. In certain scenarios, particularly with more exotic questions, you'll want to draw from a broader pool of material. However, in other circumstances, you might know that there are a few good answers in your content library and those would be all you need to generate the best answer.
Using strict mode, you can direct the AI to be more expansive in its search for relevant material (strict mode off) or to narrow its scope and find only the closest possible matches (strict mode on). Try it and let us know what you think!
