AI Rumor

ChatGPT 4.5 Leaked Screenshot: Fake or Real

There's a buzz about a supposed new version of ChatGPT, called GPT-4.5, because of a screenshot that got shared online. This image suggests that this new ChatGPT can do a lot of cool things, like understanding and working with text, sounds, pictures, and videos, and even thinking through complex problems.

But, there's a bit of doubt about whether this is real or not. The original post on Reddit disappeared, and some things about the info didn't quite add up, making people question it.

However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman swiftly denied the claims, deeming the screenshot fake. OpenAI hasn't released a new ChatGPT version since March 2023's GPT-4, leaving the fate of GPT-4.5 and its potential siblings, like GPT-5, uncertain.

AI Development

Apple Steps Up in AI: Introducing MLX Framework

Apple has entered the AI scene with MLX, a machine learning framework designed for Apple Silicon. Alongside MLX Data, a deep learning model library, it's set to make AI development more accessible and efficient, especially for Apple users.

MLX is different from other programs because it can use the same memory for different tasks. This makes it faster and smoother on Apple devices.

This is good news for people who make and use AI. Apple is sharing MLX with everyone on the internet, so more people can use it and make new things with it. This also means that Apple devices can have more and better AI features, like voice, face, and image recognition.

In short, Apple’s MLX is a big step for making AI more common and useful in the Apple world. It can make things easier and more fun for people who make and use AI.

Runway and Getty Images join forces to launch a new video model with AI

Imagine being able to produce high-quality videos without needing a big budget or a team of professionals. Getty Images, known for its vast library of images and videos, is bringing its resources together with Runway's innovative AI technology. This partnership is all about creating a new tool that helps businesses and creators make custom videos quickly and easily.

The key to this collaboration is a new video model that's designed especially for companies. With this tool, you can create unique videos tailored to your needs, using the combined power of Getty Images' content and Runway's AI. This is great news for various industries, from advertising to media broadcasting, and even Hollywood studios. It opens up a world of possibilities for creating engaging, high-quality video content.

AI in Corporate

OpenAI's Leadership Crisis: Power Struggle and a CEO's Return

OpenAI, a leading company in AI research, recently went through a dramatic leadership shakeup. Sam Altman, the CEO, was fired and later re-instated, highlighting the challenges of leading in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.

The firing wasn't about concerns about AI safety, but about trust. Helen Toner, a board member, revealed that Altman lost trust due to his actions, including publicly criticizing a competitor and creating a divisive atmosphere within the company.

Allegations against Altman included misleading board members and creating conflict among them. These actions raised questions about his leadership and led to the resignation of the entire board.

Ultimately, Altman was brought back as CEO. This incident shows the complex and often turbulent nature of leadership in AI companies.

It's not just about corporate politics, but about the broader challenges of leading in AI. This episode emphasizes the importance of trust, communication, and a shared vision for success in shaping the future of AI.
