"There will be no programmers in five years," believes Emad Mostaque, founder and CEO of Stability AI. In an interview, Mostaque talked about the dominant role that generative AI systems like ChatGPT are already playing in programming. Forty-one percent of the code on GitHub is already AI-generated, he said.
Mostaque is committed to open source with his company and sees open AI as a "much better business model" than closed systems.
Generative AI for videos is getting better and better: Runway has given Gen-2 an update that significantly improves the quality of the results. Gen-2 can generate short video clips from text descriptions, recently added a preview function, and has been available in the browser and smartphone app for iOS since June. The company also employs one of the AI researchers behind Stable Diffusion.

Startup Inflection recently unveiled its first proprietary language model, Inflection-1, which is said to be on par with GPT 3.5, Chinchilla, and PaLM-540B.
The relatively unknown AI startup, whose CEO Mustafa Suleyman was a co-founder of DeepMind, is using the language model for Pi, its "personalized AI". According to the company, Inflection-1 has been trained on thousands of Nvidia H100 GPUs and reaches the level of GPT-3.5, LLaMA, Chinchilla or PaLM 540B in some benchmarks such as TriviaQA or MMLU. However, it cannot compete with OpenAI's GPT-4 or Google's PaLM 2-L. Pi can be tried out on Pi.ai/talk.
Unity has announced two new AI products for accelerating content creation and providing real-time experiences: Unity Muse and Unity Sentis.
Muse is an AI platform that speeds up the creation of 3D applications using natural input like text prompts and sketches. Sentis enables embedding AI models in the Unity Runtime for games or applications, allowing models to run on any device. Both products are currently available via closed beta, with user feedback actively sought and integrated. Unity also launched a new marketplace for AI solutions.
