Open AI sheds some light on their product roadmap

OpenAI's recent discussion revealed an extreme GPU shortage impacting its API speed and scalability, and its short term plans.

Their 2023-2024 roadmap includes cheaper, faster GPT-4, extending context windows, enhancing the finetuning API, and introducing multimodality, with the latter depending on increased GPU availability.

OpenAI also clarified its stance on competition, as quite a few developers said they were nervous about building with the OpenAI APIs when OpenAI might end up releasing products that are competitive to them.

Apple unveils their augmented reality headset at WWC

In the latest WWDC 2023 keynote event, Apple unveiled an array of innovative products and software updates that are set to transform our digital experiences.

The most notable introductions include the Apple Vision Pro headset, a groundbreaking device promising immersive experiences, and the 15-inch MacBook Air, expected to redefine portable computing.

Big AI companies are playing nice with the UK government

Does the size of your context window matter?

ChatGPT users may have observed that the AI assistant occasionally forgets earlier parts of long conversations due to its context window limitation.

The context window refers to the length of text an LLM can process at once. GPT-4's current context window is around 32k tokens, which translates to roughly 20k words that can be sent to and received from the LLM at any given time.

The AI company Anthropic recently expanded this capability by introducing a 100k context window for their assistant Claude, equating to around 75k words.

This means that an AI assistant can potentially process and summarize a short book in mere seconds. However, the efficiency of a larger context window isn't guaranteed. There are associated costs and the accuracy of responses may suffer, so the ideal size largely depends on individual use cases.

Marketing Social Content: Starting small with targeted posts

Harnessing the potential of AI has become a game-changer for organizations looking to enhance their marketing efforts. Often the first place that they start is in content creation.

While the concept of AI might seem daunting, it's essential to remember that starting small and testing the waters is an effective strategy.

Imagine having the ability to generate engaging and persuasive marketing content with minimal effort.

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, copy.ai or Phrasee, can assist businesses in automating various content creation tasks, such as writing blog posts, social media captions, or product descriptions.

By leveraging natural language processing algorithms (NLP’s), these tools analyze vast amounts of data and learn from existing content to generate high-quality output that closely mimics human-written text.

Starting small could mean experimenting with AI-generated social media posts or crafting automated email templates to gauge the effectiveness and time-saving potential of AI.

Begin by identifying specific marketing tasks that are time-consuming or repetitive and collaborate with your marketing team to outline clear objectives. Remember, the goal is not to replace human creativity but to augment it by prototyping lots of options quickly for A/B testing.

By integrating AI into your content creation process, you can save valuable time, improve efficiency, and focus your team's energy on more strategic and creative initiatives.

Start small, experiment, and let the power of AI unlock new possibilities for your marketing success.
