Hey everyone, sending a quick one today, no deep dive, as I'm still in the middle of AI Engineer World's Fair 2024 in San Francisco (in fact, I'm writing this from the incredible floor 32 presidential suite, that the team here got for interviews, media and podcasting, and hey to all new folks who I’ve just met during the last two days!) It's been an incredible few days meeting so many ThursdAI community members, listeners and folks who came on the pod! The list honestly is too long but I've got to

Hey, this is Alex. Don't you just love when assumptions about LLMs hitting a wall just get shattered left and right and we get new incredible tools released that leapfrog previous state of the art models, that we barely got used to, from just a few months ago? I SURE DO! Today is one such day, this week was already busy enough, I had a whole 2 hour show packed with releases, and then Anthropic decided to give me a reason to use the #breakingNews button (the one that does the news show like sound on

Happy Apple AI week everyone (well, those of us who celebrate, some don't) as this week we finally got told what Apple is planning to do with this whole generative AI wave and presented Apple Intelligence (which is AI, get it? they are trying to rebrand AI!)This weeks pod and newsletter main focus will be Apple Intelligence of course, as it was for most people compared to how the market reacted ($APPL grew over $360B in a few days after this announcement) and how many people watched each live stream

Hello hello everyone, this is Alex, typing these words from beautiful Seattle (really, it only rained once while I was here!) where I'm attending Microsoft biggest developer conference BUILD. This week we saw OpenAI get in the news from multiple angles, none of them positive and Microsoft clapped back at Google from last week with tons of new AI product announcements (CoPilot vs Gemini) and a few new PCs with NPU (Neural Processing Chips) that run alongside CPU/GPU combo we're familiar with.

(TL;DR at the end of the blogpost)I had a feeling it's going to be a big week, and the companies did NOT disappoint, so this is going to be a very big newsletter as well. As you may have read last week, I was very lucky to be in San Francisco the weekend before Google IO, to co-host a hackathon with Meta LLama-3 team, and it was a blast, I will add my notes

Hey 👋 (show notes and links a bit below)This week has been a great AI week, however, it does feel like a bit "quiet before the storm" with Google I/O on Tuesday next week (which I'll be covering from the ground in Shoreline!) and rumors that OpenAI is not just going to let Google have all the spotlight!Early this week, we got 2 new models on LMsys, im-a-good-gpt2-chatbot and im-also-a-good-gpt2-chatbot, and we've now confirmed that they are from OpenAI, and folks have been testing them with logic
