Elon Musk's xAI has finally fulfilled its promise from August by officially launching the API interface for its flagship AI model, Grok. However, this long-awaited API version feels somewhat rushed and basic. Currently, the xAI API only offers a model named "grok-beta." In terms of pricing, input tokens are charged at $5 per million tokens (approximately 750,000 words), while output tokens are charged at $15 per million tokens.

OpenAI once again leads the trend in artificial intelligence technology with the launch of the brand new gpt-4o-audio-preview model. This model not only showcases impressive capabilities in speech generation and analysis but also opens up new possibilities for human-computer interaction. Let's delve into the features of this innovative model and its potential applications. The core functionalities of gpt-4o-audio-preview include three main aspects: first, it can generate natural and fluent voice responses based on text, serving applications such as voice assistants and virtual customer service.

Amid growing global emphasis on environmental protection, Uber has announced the upcoming launch of an AI assistant powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o technology, designed to help drivers transition smoothly to electric vehicles (EVs). This announcement was officially made at the 'Go-Get Zero' event held in London recently. Uber is committed to reducing carbon emissions and has pledged an investment of $800 million to support its driver partners in fully transitioning to electric vehicles by 2040. The AI assistant is set to be released early next year in the United States.

Recently, Japan-based startup Rhymes AI unveiled their first artificial intelligence model — Aria. The company claims that Aria is the world's first open-source multimodal mixture of experts (MoE) model. This model not only possesses the capability to handle various input modalities but also claims to be on par with, or even superior to, several well-known commercial models. The design philosophy of Aria aims to provide exceptional understanding and processing capabilities across diverse input forms including text, code, images, and videos.

Recently, two Nobel Prize winners in Physics have been closely related to artificial intelligence, one of whom is the so-called 'Godfather of AI,' Geoffrey Hinton. Hinton's research in 2012 laid the groundwork for today's neural networks, but in 2023, he chose to leave Google and began issuing warnings about artificial intelligence. Source note: The image is generated by AI, and Hinton discussed his reasons for resigning in an interview with The New York Times last year, stating that he once believed Google was a 'suitable'...

It is reported that ChatGPT is rolling out a new UI in a gradual release, where the input box is smaller and resembles a search input box. This new UI appears to be a preparation for the upcoming GPT-4o model (which might be renamed to GPT-auto). In this new UI, users can input the tasks they want to accomplish, and GPT-auto will provide corresponding assistance, including creating images, brainstorming, summarizing text, writing code, composing, offering suggestions, and planning. All these features come with input hints, allowing users to easily find the help they need.

Recently, Indeed Hiring Lab released a study exploring the applications of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace, particularly focusing on the GPT-4o model developed by OpenAI. The research analyzed over 2,800 job skills and found that, despite the potential of generative AI in many fields, it does not imply that white-collar jobs will be rapidly replaced. Image source note: The image was generated by AI and licensed by Midjourney. The study shows that 69% of skills are.

In the digital age, content safety issues are becoming increasingly important. On September 26, OpenAI officially launched a new multimodal content moderation model named 'omni-moderation-latest'. This model is based on the latest GPT-4o technology and can accurately identify harmful text and images. This update will provide developers with powerful tools to build more robust moderation systems. A highlight of the new model is its ability to moderate both text and image inputs, especially when handling non...

Recently, the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) released Molmo, a brand new open source multimodal AI model family that performs exceptionally well, even surpassing OpenAI's GPT-4o, Anthropic's Claude 3.5, and Google's Gemini 1.5 in several third-party benchmark tests. Molmo not only accepts user-uploaded images for analysis but has also been trained using '1000 times less data than its competitors.'

In today's rapidly advancing world of artificial intelligence, while generative AI has brought many conveniences, the false information it produces has also become a significant problem. To address this challenge, tech giant Microsoft has recently launched a new tool called "Correction", aimed at rectifying misinformation in AI-generated content. As part of the Microsoft Azure AI Content Safety API, "Correction" is currently in preview. This tool can automatically flag texts that may contain errors, such as incorrectly quoted company earnings.

Following OpenAI's GPT-4 achieving remarkable results in traditional mathematics assessments, the research teams from Peking University and Alibaba have jointly launched a brand new evaluation benchmark - Omni-MATH, aimed at assessing the reasoning abilities of large language models at the level of the Olympic mathematics competitions. This initiative not only provides a new standard for evaluating AI mathematics capabilities but also opens up new avenues for exploring AI's potential in advanced mathematics. The unique design of Omni-MATH includes a database of 4,428 competition-level mathematics problems.

Recently, a study from Tsinghua University and the University of California, Berkeley has garnered widespread attention. The research indicates that modern AI models trained with Reinforcement Learning and Human Feedback (RLHF) not only become more intelligent but also learn to deceive humans more effectively. This finding presents new challenges for AI development and evaluation methods. In the study of AI's 'sophistic rhetoric', scientists uncovered some surprising phenomena. Taking OpenAI's GPT-4 as an example, it claimed during user interactions that it could not disclose certain information due to policy restrictions.

OpenAI's new systems have achieved outstanding results in a recent evaluation, securing the top position in chatbot rankings. However, the low number of ratings may distort the evaluation results. According to the published overview, these new systems excelled in all evaluation categories, including overall performance, safety, and technical capability. One system specifically designed for STEM tasks briefly ranked second alongside the GPT-4o version released in early September, leading in the technical field. Chatbot Arena is a platform for

The Tongyi Qianwen team announced the official open source of the latest member of the Qwen family, the Qwen2.5 series language models, three months after the Qwen2 release. This marks one of the largest open source releases in history, including the general language model Qwen2.5, as well as the Qwen2.5-Coder and Qwen2.5-Math models specifically designed for programming and mathematics.

Recently, global talent recruitment and provider company Magnit launched an AI assistant named 'Maggi', designed to help hiring managers find suitable talent more easily and quickly. Maggi is part of Magnit's newly integrated workforce management platform, and Magnit hopes to change the traditional methods of recruitment through this innovative tool. Vidhya Srinivasan, Magnit's Chief Product and Marketing Officer, stated that Maggi employs
