From this perspective, Gemini is also worse than the original Bard. Sydney was the original sin of LLMs anthropormism, but also got the idea that AIs can sometimes be better with personalities right. Even if that personality was unhinged.

Suggestion for OpenAI to name models like Claude
By
–
OpenAI should probably bite the bullet and just name their next set of models something more human sounding. Everyone anthropomorphizes their AIs anyway, and "Claude" is an easier name to refer to than ChatGPT. Also easier to make a gerund, "Clauding," or adjective, "Claudy-y."

Meta AI Contemplating Mode: 16 Agents Working on Complex Reasoning
By
–
check out Contemplating mode for your most complex reasoning queries! Mostly Borrowed Ideas (@borrowed_ideas) Not usually a Meta AI user, but wanted to give them a shot after the latest model release (it's free anyway). So I installed the app on my desktop, and noticed "contemplating" mode (didn't see that on the mobile app btw). When I asked a question, 16 agents simultaneously started working on the question which looks pretty cool! — https://nitter.net/borrowed_ideas/status/2043040075928474080#m

MSL operates like a startup, join the team
By

MSL *really does* run like a startup 🙂 join us if that sounds exciting to you! Vu Tran (@vu0tran) Crazy to see the positive response to Muse Spark. I joined Meta in Dec and was surprised how startup-y MSL feels. Dec through now, through the holidays was literally nonstop building for me. Everyone on the team cares. People want to do great work — https://nitter.net/vu0tran/status/2043029196277211325#m

Meta’s Muse Spark impresses with vision capabilities and free access
By
–
people are finding all the cool things we built into muse spark 🙂 Deedy (@deedydas) The coolest thing Meta AI's Muse Spark can do by far is counting objects! As you can tell, it's far from perfect. They call it "visual grounding" and it can count objects and do bounding boxes. I've been playing with the new model and here's what I think so far: Good stuff: – Incredible at vision. It's ability to read text in images is the best I've seen. – Really high quality at web design. It's the only model I've seen that uses Unsplash, OpenLibrary and other images by default. – It's free! You don't pay to use Muse Spark Thinking. Bad stuff: – Meta's classic playbook of growth tactics are dodgy. They're sending Instagram notifs to people's friends without their consent. Their app ranking jump is not organic. – Reasoning itself is pretty solid but not best in class. It can do pretty advanced math and science problems. The long term threat here is Meta has distribution and has the ability to give their model away for free, which makes them a formidable threat to the big AI labs, particularly in consumer. — https://nitter.net/deedydas/status/2043127931405529474#m

Starlink V3 and Starship: 25-50x Bandwidth Increase
By
–
Starlink V3 launches with Starship will carry 25 to 50 times more bandwidth than a Falcon flight with V2, depending on how you count it. Starship will also launch 100+ times more per year than Falcon (mostly AI sats). Probably ~20k comms satellites per year at ~2 tons/sat. High
