In this week’s “What’s in Tech” newsletter, we have covered the latest developments in the AI space. Highlights include OpenAI’s latest funding round led by Microsoft, and new AI model launches from OpenAI and IBM. Other insightful stories include launch of global capability centers by Tredence and MathCo, followed by Accenture’s collaboration with NVIDIA to scale agentic AI.
Google is injecting its search engine with more artificial intelligence that will enable people to voice questions about images and occasionally organize an entire page of results.
OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, has raised US$6.6 bn in its latest funding round, as investors including its early backer Microsoft continue to bet big on artificial intelligence (AI).
This feature, currently in beta for ChatGPT Plus and Teams users, allows for direct generation and editing of content, making collaboration with the AI more intuitive and efficient.
It processes audio in 30-second chunks, converting them into log-Mel spectrograms, and employs special tokens to perform tasks such as language identification, phrase-level timestamps, and translation.
“In locations where multimodal AI is available, images and videos shared with Meta AI may be used to improve it per our Privacy Policy,” said Meta policy communications manager Emil Vazquez.
The new model, detailed in a paper titled “Prithvi WxC: Foundation Model for Weather and Climate,” is capable of tackling a wider range of applications than existing weather AI models. It can produce localized forecasts based on local observations, predict severe weather patterns, and enhance the resolution of global climate simulations.
