Is OpenAI about to drop a new ChatGPT upgrade? Sam Altman says ‘nah’

A screenshot circulating on Reddit and X suggested that OpenAI could be releasing its latest large language model GPT4.5 soon. Sam Altman later confirmed the “leak” was fake.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has denied the company is about to roll out a new version of its ChatGPT large language model, GPT4.5.

A purportedly “leaked” screenshot, which made the rounds on social media, including X on Dec. 14, showed a description of “GPT 4.5” that read:

However, many started to speculate the “leaked” screenshot was a hoax. A Reddit thread on r/OpenAI that was posted around Dec. 14 at 10:30 am UTC — the possible source of the “leak” — has been removed by the moderators. Some comments on the thread slammed the original poster for the “fake” post.

Google slashes price of Gemini AI model, opens up to developers

Google parent company Alphabet said it was slashing prices for its pro version of AI model Gemini and plans to make its tools more accessible to developers to create their own versions.

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, announced on Dec. 13 that it plans to slash the cost of a version of its most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model, Gemini, and make it more accessible to developers.

According to reports, the company said the price for the Pro model of Gemini has been cut by 25%–50% from what it was in June.

Gemini was introduced in three variations on Dec. 6, with its most sophisticated version being able to reason and understand information at a higher level than other Google technology, along with computing video and audio.

OpenAI, Axel Springer in deal to integrate AI and journalism, tackle AI ‘hallucinations’

German media giant Axel Springer has partnered with OpenAI to seek ways to enhance ChatGPT by integrating journalism and AI to reduce “hallucinations.”

Axel Springer, one of the largest media companies in Europe, is collaborating with OpenAI to integrate journalism with artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT, the German publisher said in a statement on its blog on Dec. 13.

The collaboration involves using content from Axel Springer media brands to advance the training of OpenAI’s large language models. It aims to achieve a better ChatGPT user experience with up-to-date and authoritative content across diverse topics, as well as increased transparency through attributing and linking full articles.

Generative AI chatbots have long grappled with factual accuracy, occasionally generating false information, commonly referred to as “hallucinations.“ Initiatives to reduce these AI hallucinations were announced in June in a post on OpenAI’s website.

Open-source AI can outperform private models like Chat-GPT — ARK Invest

In 2023, Yi 34B, Falcon 180B and Mixtral 8x7B emerged as some of the top open-source AI that showcased comparable performance to market leaders.

While generative artificial intelligence (AI) models backed by centralized cloud infrastructure — such as ChatGPT — currently lead on overall performance, new research shows that open-source competitors are catching up.

The current market leaders in generative AI, such as Google and OpenAI, took a centralized approach to building their infrastructure — effectively limiting public access to various information, including the data sources used for the training model.

This could change, the research team at Cathy Wood’s ARK Invest claims, suggesting the possibility of open-source AI models outperforming their centralized counterparts by 2024.

ChatGPT passes neurology exam for first time

LLM 4.0 from OpenAI answered 85% of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology’s questions correctly, implying potentially “significant” future uses for the technology.

OpenAI’s latest update of its large language model (LLM), ChatGPT-4.0, has passed a clinical neurology exam with 85% correct answers in a proof-of-concept study. The research authors believe that after some fine-tuning, LLMs could have “significant applications” in clinical neurology.

The results of the experiment, conducted by a group of researchers from the University Hospital Heidelberg and the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, were published on Dec. 7. The test, performed on May 31, featured two LLMs, ChatGPT-3.5 and its later version, ChatGPT-4.0.

The researchers used the bank of questions for a neurology exam from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology with a small cohort of questions from the European Board for Neurology.

Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic led failed shareholder proposal asking Microsoft to study AI safety

“Proposal 13” asked Microsoft to consider the potential for shareholder harm if its AI products created legal issues for the company over the long term.

Krist Novoselic, co-founder and bass guitarist for the seminal rock band Nirvana, recently led a shareholder proposal presentation urging Microsoft to reevaluate its approach to generative artificial intelligence (AI).

Called Shareholder Proposal 13: Report on AI Misinformation and Disinformation, per a press release, the proposal was submitted by Arjuna Capital “on behalf of Krist Novoselic” and several other shareholder groups.

The proposal cited several key shareholder concerns, including the potential for Microsoft-developed or -backed models to participate in the spread of mass disinformation and misinformation.

Microsoft faces UK antitrust probe over OpenAI deal structure

The regulator’s examination will assess whether the collaboration constitutes an “acquisition of control,” implying the substantial influence of one party over another.

The United Kingdom’s antitrust regulator is considering initiating a merger investigation into Microsoft’s multibillion-dollar collaboration with OpenAI.

This announcement resulted in a response from Microsoft, declaring that it only plays a non-voting observer role on the board of the ChatGPT maker.

The investigation announcement follows the ChatGPT maker’s disclosure that the United States tech giant would hold a non-voting board seat. The examination will assess whether the collaboration constitutes an “acquisition of control,” implying the substantial influence of one party over another, as stated by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) on Friday, Dec. 8.

Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT go head-to-head in Cointelegraph test

Comparisons of Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT continue to flood internet social spaces, so we decided to put them to the test with questions of our own.

On Dec. 6, Google launched its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model, Gemini, which it claimed is the most advanced model currently available on the market — even better than the popular model developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT-4.

This bold claim was treated like a challenge by community sleuths across the internet, who swiftly moved to examine the methods and benchmarks used by Google to assert Gemini’s supposed superiority and poke fun at the company’s marketing of the product.

David Gull, CEO of AI-powered wellness startup Vital, told Cointelegraph that each model, be it ChatGPT-4, Llama 2, or now Gemini, has its own set of strengths and challenges.

Is Google’s Gemini really smarter than OpenAI's GPT-4? Community sleuths find out

After Google launched its new high-performance AI model Gemini and claimed it to be far superior to OpenAI’s GPT-4 users on social media began to challenge those claims.

Google launched its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model Gemini on Dec. 6, announcing it as the most advanced AI model currently available on the market, surpassing OpenAI’s GPT-4.

Gemini is multimodal, which means it was built to understand and combine different types of information. It comes in three versions (Ultra, Pro, Nano) to serve different use cases, and one area in which it appears to beat GPT-4 is its ability to perform advanced math and specialized coding.

On its debut, Google released multiple benchmark tests that compared Gemini with GPT-4. The Gemini Ultra version achieved “state-of-the-art performance” in 30 out of 32 academic benchmarks that were used in large language model (LLM) development.
