Meta has introduced its new family of Llama 3.1 models which include the largest 405B model, 70B, and 8B models. The Llama 3.1 405B model outranks OpenAI's GPT-4o model in many key benchmarks. For the first time, we have an open-source model that competes with the closed ones. To learn more about the benchmarks, go through our article.

OpenAI is back with a solid lightweight model that doesn't compromise on performance. The new GPT-4o mini model scores 82% on the MMLU benchmark and costs much less than GPT-3.5 Turbo, Gemini Flash, and Claude 3 Haiku. In fact, it outperforms some of the largest models such as Claude 3 Opus and GPT-4. You can start using the mini model on the free and paid version of ChatGPT starting today.

OpenAI has finally released a statement saying that GPT-4o's Voice Mode is being delayed. It will be available by the end of the next month to a select group of paid users in Alpha. And by the end of this year, all ChatGPT Plus users will get the new feature. The company is also working to bring screen-sharing capability to ChatGPT.

Last week, OpenAI demoed the 'Sky' voice during the ChatGPT 4o launch. The voice seemed straight out of the movie 'Her', where Scarlett Johansson lent her voice to the AI character 'Samantha'. Now, it turns out Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, was in contact with Scarlett Johansson to voice the new ChatGPT 4o system. However, Johansson had refused the offer, way back in September 2023. Now, Johansson is seeking clarity and transparency as to how the 'Sky' voice was developed. Meanwhile, OpenAI has paused the 'Sky' voice on ChatGPT.

Ilya Sutskever bids farewell to OpenAI and steps down from the role of chief scientist at the company. Ilya says he will be working on a deeply meaningful personal project. Many reports suggest that Ilya was responsible for OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's firing in November 2023.

However, my question is, is the use of AI actually that bad? Read about what I think in this article.
