OpenAI is experiencing "abnormal traffic" that suggests hackers are trying to overwhelm its services, potentially causing outages like the one that hit ChatGPT this week. The startup has detected signs of a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack and is working to mitigate the problem, it writes on its status page.

Update - We are dealing with periodic outages due to an abnormal traffic pattern reflective of a DDoS attack. We are continuing work to mitigate this.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also said that the use of the new features introduced during the Dev Days is "far exceeding" OpenAI's expectations, so the company is staggering the rollout and anticipating more instability in the short term.

Generative AI in Search expands to over 120 new countries and territories and adds support for four new languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, and Indonesian. Search Generative Experience (SGE) provides AI-powered summaries that summarize relevant information for users' searches. The expansion follows positive feedback from launches in India and Japan. The upgrades to SGE, rolling out first in the U.S., include easier follow-up questions, AI-powered translation assistance, and more definitions for topics such as coding. The new features are available through Search Labs on the Google app and Chrome desktop, and will be rolled out gradually over the coming weeks.

YouTube is testing two new features that integrate generative AI into the user experience. The first feature uses AI to organize large comment sections on long-form videos into easily digestible topics, allowing creators to more quickly engage in discussions or find inspiration for new content. The second feature is a conversational AI tool that provides answers to questions about the video, recommendations for related content, and in some cases, quizzes and answers to promote deeper understanding. These features are currently available to a limited number of YouTube Premium members for testing and feedback.

Elon Musk's xAI team has developed PromptIDE, an integrated development environment for prompt engineering and interpretability research in AI. This tool provides an SDK for implementing complex prompting techniques and offers rich analytics to visualize a network's outputs.

Designed to give transparent access to Grok-1, the model powering Grok, PromptIDE features a Python code editor and SDK, allowing users to implement complex prompting techniques and run multiple prompts in parallel. Users can also upload small files, making batch processing possible. The IDE provides detailed per-token analytics, user input functions, and markdown rendering for improved legibility. Currently available to members of their early access program, xAI aims to build a community around PromptIDE by enabling users to share prompts and analytics publicly.
