OpenAI has updated GPT-4o to better handle detailed instructions, especially when processing multi-task prompts. The company says the model's programming capabilities and complex problem-solving abilities have also been optimized. The updated version reportedly shows improved intuition, greater "freedom" and creativity, while using fewer emojis in responses. The enhanced language model is now accessible through the API as "chatgpt-4o-latest" and in ChatGPT for subscribers. Free users can expect access to the update in the coming weeks. Artificial Analysis suggests the update places GPT-4o ahead of Claude Sonnet 3.7 in terms of performance.
Anthropic and Databricks have entered a five-year partnership worth $100 million to jointly sell AI tools to businesses. The collaboration focuses on AI agents designed to handle tasks for humans. According to Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi, Anthropic's Claude models will be directly available on the Databricks platform and will allow customers to develop their own AI agents using their company data. Both companies face pressure to generate revenue that justifies their substantial valuations - Databricks is valued at $62 billion while Anthropic is valued at $61.5 billion. Databricks said, it is working on improving the accuracy of AI agents to above 95 percent, which would make them truly practical for everyday business use.
