[AI One-Bite News] ChatGPT Has Started Recognizing Me

Finally Debuting Apple... MS Teams Up with Partner Competitor

Editor's NoteSince the emergence of ChatGPT, the world has been buzzing with artificial intelligence (AI). Technology is changing rapidly, and news is pouring in every day. Even top industry experts are struggling to keep up. It's overwhelming to consume everything, but you can't afford to miss out either. We bring you the key points from the weekly AI issues, carefully selected and easy to digest.

Apple, who had been playing coy, reveals its true colors

Finally, Apple is stepping up. Apple is reportedly developing its own large language model (LLM) called 'Ajax.' Several teams within Apple are dedicated to this project, which is based on Google's machine learning system 'Jax.' Although specific plans have not been disclosed, it is expected to be unveiled sometime next year. Apple has long been developing AI technologies such as the voice assistant 'Siri,' but has been unusually quiet about generative AI, which has surged since ChatGPT. At last month's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple even seemed to deliberately avoid mentioning AI. However, Apple's entry is a very natural step. As large-scale AI becomes more lightweight, it will integrate with Apple devices like the iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Vision Pro.

Meta's ambition, and Microsoft's greed

Meta has released its LLM 'Llama 2.' The focus is less on how smart Llama 2 is and more on Meta's strategy. There are two reasons for this. First, Llama 2 is open source, and second, it is offered through Microsoft's cloud platform 'Azure.' Being open source means anyone can use Llama 2 for free and improve or modify it as needed. This approach differs from Google and OpenAI, who either do not disclose information or provide services only for a fee. Although Meta entered the field later, it is building a 'camp' and aiming to take leadership. Even more ambitious is Microsoft. Partnering with Meta, a competitor to OpenAI, suggests that while keeping OpenAI in check, Microsoft plans to dominate the cloud market with AI regardless of the camp.

ChatGPT has started recognizing me

ChatGPT has begun to remember who the user is and what they want. This is thanks to a new feature called 'Custom Instructions.' Previously, every time a new conversation started with ChatGPT, user information was reset to zero. So, for example, a user with a 7-year-old child had to repeatedly provide information about the child when looking for places to take them or ordering gifts. Now, that is no longer necessary. By simply adding custom instructions, users can recall this information anytime. ChatGPT is evolving into a more personalized assistant.

AI journalist, AI pilot... what's next?

Google is testing an AI journalist. It demonstrated AI technology that generates articles for some media outlets such as The New York Times (NYT), The Washington Post (WP), and The Wall Street Journal (WSJ). This AI, called Genesis, is known to collect information about current events and generate news. Meanwhile, an AI pilot has also emerged. KAIST unveiled a humanoid pilot named 'Pibot.' It combines ChatGPT's intelligence with a humanoid robot body resembling a human. The robot is programmed with basic flight controls, and in emergencies, ChatGPT provides guidance on how to respond.

Domestic companies are also ramping up their efforts. LG AI Research Institute unveiled the large-scale AI 'Exaone 2.0.' Exaone 2.0 features top 1% experts and has learned from 45 million professional documents such as patents and papers, as well as 350 million images, making it one of the most advanced large-scale AIs currently available. It is tasked with discovering future growth engines for the group through next-generation material development and new drug candidate research. A month later, Naver will unveil its large-scale AI 'HyperCLOVA X' and has revealed its AI lineup. This includes conversational AI 'CLOVA X,' AI search service 'Q:,' and a comprehensive range of services targeting both general users and enterprises. Customized AI tools are promised for everyone from individual creators to small business owners and large corporations. The movement to dominate the AI ecosystem is now in full swing in Korea as well.
