Hub AI in practice

Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.

What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.

Nvidia has rolled out DLSS 4 alongside updates to its Broadcast app, timing the release with its new RTX 50 series graphics cards. The latest version of the AI upscaling technology uses a new transformer model to enhance image quality. Players can now update to the latest DLSS version in 75 supported games using DLSS 4 Overrides. The update lets users take advantage of the most recent improvements without waiting for individual game patches. The company has also updated Nvidia Broadcast, an app that taps into RTX graphics cards' AI capabilities to clean up audio and video in real time during video calls and livestreams. The app now includes a studio recording mode that mimics professional recording environments, plus video noise reduction and a virtual key light feature that uses AI to brighten faces and reduce shadows. Rounding out the updates, Nvidia has refined its RTX Video Super Resolution tool, which uses AI to improve the quality of online videos.

OpenAI has rolled out an updated version of GPT-4o in ChatGPT, extending its knowledge base through June 2024. The refresh aims to provide more current and contextual responses across topics. The model's visual capabilities have also gotten an upgrade. It can now better understand spatial relationships in images and make stronger connections between diagrams, graphics, and text. This enhancement should lead to better results when handling visual tasks. Testing shows the updated model performs better on several fronts, including math, science, programming challenges, and general language understanding, according to OpenAI. Users might also notice it's more likely to mirror their emoji usage during conversations. OpenAI has also added a "Use more intelligence" button to the chat interface, prompting the model to take extra time processing before responding. While these changes are available in ChatGPT, the updated model hasn't yet appeared in the API documentation.

OpenAI's ChatGPT Pro subscription service is growing faster than its enterprise business, bringing in at least $25 million a month - or $300 million a year - according to The Information, which says this is a conservative estimate. The service was launched in early December. Despite these numbers, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently said the company is actually losing money on Pro subscriptions. Users are accessing the service more frequently than OpenAI anticipated, eating into profits even at $200 per month per subscriber. OpenAI has set ambitious revenue targets for 2025, aiming to generate $12 billion overall, with ChatGPT expected to contribute $8 billion of that total. The company reportedly plans to increase ChatGPT subscription prices year over year, and is considering usage-based pricing.

A new open source AI music tool called YuE lets anyone turn lyrics into songs, offering a free alternative to commercial services like Suno and Udio. According to developer Ruibin Yuan, the system can create songs up to five minutes long in multiple languages and musical styles. Under the hood, YuE uses two separate AI models - one handles speech and music generation, while the other manages additional song elements. Users can customize their creations by choosing the musical style, mood, and type of voice, and the system can replicate various singing techniques. The project is available now on HuggingFace, with several demo examples posted on GitHub. Yuan says a research paper detailing the technical aspects of YuE is currently in development.
