OpenAI and Google Announce New Multimodal Models In the current paradigm of AI development, there are long delays between the release of successive models. Progress is largely driven by increases in computing power, and training models with more computing power requires building large new data centers. More than a year after the release of GPT-4, OpenAI has yet to release GPT-4.5 or GPT-5, which would presumably be trained on 10x or 100x more compute than GPT-4, respectively. These models might be released over the next year or two, and could represent large spikes in AI capabilities. But OpenAI did announce a new model last week, called GPT-4o. The “o” stands for “omni,” referring to the fact that the model can use text, images, videos [...] ---Outline:(00:03) OpenAI and Google Announce New Multimodal Models(02:36) The Surge in AI Lobbying(05:29) How Should Copyright Law Apply to AI Training Data?(10:10) Links --- First published: May 16th, 2024 Source: https://newsletter.safe.ai/p/ai-safety-newsletter-35-lobbying --- Want more?
