Hub Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is either a field of research, the most important technical innovation of mankind, its downfall – or simply a pipe dream from Silicon Valley. Can machines really be intelligent? What is intelligence anyway? What opportunities does AI technology offer, and what are the risks? From neural networks to the science fiction vision of super AI, from deepfakes to AI surveillance: THE DECODER delivers the latest AI news and information on all facets of artificial intelligence.

OpenAI is making ChatGPT more accessible by letting users interact with the AI assistant through phone calls and WhatsApp messages. U.S. users can now call ChatGPT for free at 1-800-242-8478, with a monthly limit of 15 minutes of conversation time. The phone service works with any device, including landlines and basic mobile phones, eliminating the need for a smartphone or internet connection to access ChatGPT. For users worldwide, OpenAI has added WhatsApp support, allowing anyone to chat with ChatGPT by saving the service's number as a contact. Currently, the WhatsApp integration only supports text messages, though OpenAI plans to add authentication features that will enable advanced capabilities like image recognition. The company says it developed these new features during an internal hackathon and implemented them in just a few weeks.

Spanish AI startup Magnific AI has released its image generation model called Super Real. According to the company, it ranks among the top models for creating realistic images, specifically targeting professionals in architecture, interior design, film, and photography. Freepik acquired Magnific in May, when the startup's initial product was an AI upscaler. Since then, the company has released additional features like "Relight," which can adjust lighting settings including image backgrounds. With Super Real, the company now offers a competitive image model. However, it still lacks image editing capabilities similar to those found in the Midjourney Editor.

Google has started rolling out an experimental version of its Gemini 2.0 AI model to users of Gemini Advanced. The new model, called Gemini-Exp-1206, can handle more sophisticated tasks, including complex coding challenges, mathematical problem-solving, and advanced reasoning, according to Google. The company stresses that this experimental model is still in early preview testing and may not perform consistently. The model can't access real-time information and doesn't support all of Gemini's standard features. Access to Gemini-Exp-1206 is currently limited to Gemini Advanced subscribers using either desktop computers or mobile Web browsers. The new model may be a preview of an upcoming larger Gemini 2.0 Pro model, as Google has already officially released the smaller Gemini 2.0 Flash version.

Nvidia announced a new compact and affordable "supercomputer" for generative AI development, the Jetson Orin Nano Super. According to Nvidia, the developer kit delivers up to 70 percent more performance and 50 percent higher memory bandwidth compared to its predecessor, partly through software updates while still using the Ampere architecture. The company reduced the price to $249. Nvidia says the Jetson Orin Nano Super targets commercial AI developers, hobbyists, and students looking to develop skills in generative AI, robotics, or computer vision applications. The performance-enhancing software updates will also be available to owners of the previous Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit. Nvidia says the modules in the Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano series will also benefit from these performance improvements.
