🧑‍🚀 Llama in space

Welcome back, Superhuman. If you need a reminder of just how powerful LLMs are getting, consider that an Australian radio station has been using an AI-generated DJ for six months without anyone noticing. Journalists caught on only after realizing that “Thy” has no social media presence, no work history, and only a single picture of herself online.

Today’s Insights

• Recall is here, Manus’ funding boost, and two new audio models

• Meta’s Llama model takes flight, literally

• Tutorial: How to create stunning slides with Gamma’s GPT-4o model

• 5 new AI tools to boost your productivity

• News, memes, what’s trending on socials, and more

TODAY IN AI

1. Microsoft’s long-awaited memory feature is here: The tech giant’s Recall tool just landed on all AI-enabled PCs after nearly a year of delays due to security concerns. The feature could completely change how we use computers, making it easier to find documents, websites, and screenshots from weeks or months ago. Recall essentially gives your PC “photographic memory,” meaning you can use phrases like “the chart about quarterly revenue from last week” to resurface your past sessions.

2. China’s viral AI agent gets major funding boost: Last month, a little-known startup called Butterfly Effect stunned everyone with Manus, a general-purpose agent that seemed to beat OpenAI and other well-resourced rivals — recalling the DeepSeek surprise from earlier this year. Now, it’s just landed $75M in new funding, bringing its valuation to $500M. But it faces some stiff competition, the latest being Simular, whose AI assistant can supposedly shop, do taxes, and scour the web alongside you.

3. Two new audio models blur reality: To show off its new lip-syncing model, AI startup Tavus turned a monologue from HBO’s The White Lotus into a rant about LLMs. Hummingbird-0 lets you transform your subject’s mouth movements using a short reference clip and audio of your choice. Meanwhile, a startup called Rime just unveiled Arcana, which can capture the “nuances of real human speech,” including accents, vocal stumbles, and more, with unprecedented realism. You can try it out right in your browser.

FROM THE FRONTIER

Meta’s Llama model heads to space

Meta is sending Llama to outer space: The social media giant teamed up with tech consultancy Booz Allen Hamilton to make a special version of its LLM available to astronauts aboard the International Space Station, which orbits about 250 miles above the Earth’s surface.

How’d they do it?

• They fine-tuned Llama 3.2 so it could run locally on the space station’s computer, which was already equipped with Nvidia GPUs

• Meta says it was only possible because Llama is open-source, meaning there’s a lot more flexibility to tweak it for usage in different settings

Why go through the trouble? Just like scientists on Earth, the ISS astronauts can use Llama to supercharge their research and experiments. The model can help them quickly dig through technical documents and instructions related to the space station itself, too. And because it’s multimodal, they can easily work across audio, text, and visuals.

Using an LLM in space isn’t as easy as on Earth: The ISS astronauts have internet access, but it can be spotty. Since this version of Llama can be used locally, it’s far more reliable than what the astronauts are used to. The new setup is “believed to be the first of its kind used beyond Earth.” It could also pave the way for AI applications on Mars and the Moon.
