Generative AI News Rundown - A Deep Dive Into ChatGPT-4o, Gemini Upgrades and Intrigue & More - Voicebot Podcast Ep 381
06/17/24 • 73 min
OpenAI introduced GPT-4o as a new model and the foundation for ChatGPT. The company also offered more than a dozen videos and other use case examples, which enabled us to break down many of the nuances enabled by the new model. Is this the voice assistant everyone always wanted?
A day later, Google debuted its latest updates for Gemini and offered a preview of Project Astra, the upgraded future of Gemini assistant, which they say will turn it into an agent for users. Google provided just a couple of videos and examples, but it also showed off a much broader set of impacts across its applications. These include search, Workspace, photos, and smart glasses (?). In all, Google had more than 100 announcement at I/O and most related to AI.
Below are 20 articles and blog posts that provide added context on the biggest news across the generative AI landscape. There were a few stories we did not get to that were also of significant impact and we will likely work them into the next episode of GAIN.
