APPETIZER

Apple’s AI chatbot 🍎

Apple’s stealthily developing their very own LLM. It’s built on a custom LLM framework, dubbed “Ajax.“

The namesake: Ajax was built using Google JAX and runs on Google Cloud.

Internal engineers call the chatbot “Apple GPT.”

Not iGPT… really?

Apple employees are already using it to assist with their internal product development. Just like other LLMs, it’s a lot of text summarization and query answering.

Apple hasn’t disclosed much information about how exactly they’ll use the chatbot in the future.

They are hiring for ML/AI, if that’s your cup of tea.

Our take: The other tech giants are launching AI tools as fast as their keyboard fingers allow them. Apple? Crickets. CEO Tim Cook stated Apple would be “deliberate and thoughtful“ with AI in their Q2 earnings report. The question remains: will we see an AI masterstroke, or are they already behind?

BUZZWORD OF THE DAY

MAIN COURSE

Adobe Gingerbread 🍪

Adobe teased a new AI tool at Figma Config 2023. What is it? It’s a new AI image generator / 3D modeler called Gingerbread.

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

Apparently, it’s a beast. Particularly cool: it allows you to import 3D models and adjust the perspective of a text prompt-generated image.

The text prompt? “Whiskey glass on table.”

This one’s the same prompt, just a different angle.

Mind. Blown.

So, what it do?

1/ Text prompts. Standard, except for the fact that it generates 3D models instead of static 2D images.

2/ User-generated 3D templates. It allows users to create their own 3D scenes instead of relying on AI’s random composition. That lets you get selective and actually compose scenes, putting objects and details exactly where you want them.

3/ Custom 3D object support. Users can upload their own 3D objects and images to use in their designs.

4/ Adobe Creative Suite. Adobe intends to slap Gingerbread right into Photoshop, Premier Pro, Illustrator, etc.

Our take: Gingerbread looks incredibly collaborative — closer to painting and composing images with the power of AI, as opposed to shaking the magic 8-ball with prompt engineering. We’ve got our fingers crossed, hoping Adobe releases it for realsies.

A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA

Is ChatGPT getting dumber? 🤤

The ChatGPT hype train has made a brief pit stop.

A Stanford + UC Berkeley study has shown concluded that ChatGPT’s output quality — just ain’t what it used to be. 

Researchers fed ChatGPT the same 500 questions in March and June.

The result? On some questions, ChatGPT’s success rate plummeted from 98% to just 2.4%.

OpenAI’s Peter Welinder tweeted this response:

“No, you.”

It’s causing a stir in the AI community. Many claim they’ve experienced ChatGPT’s degradation, while others defend OpenAI.

Princeton University Researchers responded to this. They claim the study was a “vast oversimplification“ and that it used “questionable“ methods.

AI soap opera, anyone?

Our take: Jury’s still out 🍿😛🥤.
