Dig developments from Apple, YouTube, KLING, Neuralink, and Google DeepMind. Here’s everything going on in AI right now.
SenseNova 5.5 Model
Chinese AI company SenseTime just revealed SenseNova 5.5, an AI model that claims to beat GPT-4o across key metrics Plus.
At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai this weekend, SenseTime unveiled SenseNova 5.5. The company claims the model outperforms GPT-4o in 5 out of 8 key metrics. While I’d take it with a grain of salt, China’s AI startups are showing major progress.
SenseTime also revealed SenseNova 5o, a real-time multimodal model capable of processing audio, text, image, and video. They’ve Demo’ed a video of a live demonstration of SenseTime 5o in action (it’s incredibly similar to the GPT-4o demo).
Apple Siri
Per Bloomberg, Apple’s Siri upgrades are now expected to come in Spring 2025. The voice assistant not likely to be part of the Apple Intelligence rollout this Fall.
YouTube introduced a new AI-powered eraser tool. It allows creators to quickly remove copyrighted music from videos while preserving other audio elements. Between this and all the other AI tools YouTube is building, it seems like they’re all-in.
Kling AI
Kuaishou’s KLING AI video generator model is now available as a web app for generations up to 10 seconds. (Though a Chinese phone number is still required for access).
JEST by DeepMind
Google DeepMind researchers published new research introducing JEST. It’s a new method that accelerates AI model training while significantly reducing computing requirements. Faster training capabilities = the acceleration of advanced model releases is just getting started.
