Let's dive in.

Hollywood tests AI clones

Hollywood's leading talent agency, CAA, is exploring futuristic possibilities with a project called CAA Vault, which lets top-tier actors create AI versions of themselves to unlock new creative possibilities.

Highlights:

• AI Replicas: CAA is collaborating with AI companies to digitize their clients' appearances and voices, enabling the creation of virtual doubles for tasks like reshoots, voice dubbing, and stunt work.

• Broader Vision: The goal is to eventually offer this technology not just to CAA clients but across the entire industry.

• Industry Reaction: Noteworthy reactions include filmmaker Tyler Perry pausing his studio expansion plans after witnessing the potential of AI technologies like OpenAI's Sora.

Why it's important: As the entertainment world starts to navigate the evolving landscape of AI, CAA is positioning itself at the forefront by equipping its clients with tools to harness these changes. The quality of AI and digital replicas is reaching a point where soon, the line between real actors and their digital counterparts might blur, transforming how productions are made and perceived.

Microsoft launches tiny but powerful AI model

Microsoft just unveiled Phi-3, their latest series of compact language models that are proving to be more powerful than larger competitors, setting new standards for smaller AI models.

Highlights:

• Model Varieties: Phi-3 is available in three sizes: Phi-3-mini with 3.8 billion parameters, Phi-3-small with 7 billion, and Phi-3-medium with 14 billion.

• Impressive Performance: Despite its smaller size, Phi-3-mini matches up to bigger models like Mixtral and GPT 3.5, and boasts a huge 128,000 token context window.

• On-Device Efficiency: The mini’s size allows it to run directly on devices like smartphones, offering a balance of performance and cost-effectiveness.

• More to Come: The 7 billion and 14 billion parameter models are still being perfected and will be released in the near future.

Why it's important: Microsoft is proving that smaller language models don't have to compromise on power. Phi-3-mini’s breakthrough shows that we can have advanced AI capabilities right on our personal devices, making sophisticated technology more accessible and integrated into daily life.

Chinese AI beats GPT-4 Turbo

Chinese tech company SenseTime just rolled out SenseNova 5.0, an impressive update to their AI model that reportedly outshines GPT-4 Turbo in almost all major tests.

Highlights:

• Powerful Specs: SenseNova 5.0 boasts around 600 billion parameters and a massive 200,000 token context window, trained on over 10TB of primarily synthetic data.

• Performance Leap: The model excels in areas like knowledge acquisition, math, reasoning, and coding, surpassing even the best models like GPT-4T.

• Upcoming Features: A text-to-video model with style consistency and preset options is expected to launch soon.

Why it's important: SenseNova 5.0's exceptional performance hints that China's AI capabilities might be on par with or even surpassing those in the U.S. sooner than many thought. However, since the model isn't publicly available yet, the true extent of its capabilities remains a bit of a mystery.
