AI AT WORK

AI company Phind claims that its model can beat OpenAI’s GPT-4 at coding

After Chinese tech giant Baidu recently claimed that its AI chatbot Earnie 4.0 can match ChatGPT for performance, Phind now claims that their new model can beat OpenAI’s GPT-4 at coding.

Phind claims that their new model “matches and exceeds GPT-4's coding abilities while running 5x faster” — a huge claim. However, the company admitted that one area where the model struggles is consistency, and said that it requires more generations to find the correct answer compared to GPT-4.

Code assistance has been one of the leading use cases for generative AI, with Github’s Copilot becoming one of the first generative AI products to exceed $100 million in revenue.

Leaker claims Instagram is working on a customizable AI friend feature

Making friends with an AI seems a little out there for most people. But AI chatbot apps like Character AI are now generating hundreds of millions of monthly visits from eager users who spend hours every day talking to AI-generated characters.

And after the launch of celebrity AI chatbots across its apps last month, Meta might be working on a new feature that lets users create their own AI friends, according to leaker Alessandro Paluzzi on X.

According to the screenshots shared by Paluzzi, users will be able to pick the ethnicity, gender, age, personality and interests of their chatbot friend.

RESEARCH

AI can diagnose diabetes from your voice

Canadian medical researchers have developed an AI model that can detect type 2 diabetes from a person’s voice in less than 10 seconds. The model found 14 voice variations, including minor pitch and intensity alterations that are normally unnoticeable to humans. The model could detect the illness when coupled with basic health data such as age, gender, height, and weight.

This is beneficial since it provides a non-invasive, low-cost, and quick approach to diagnosing type 2 diabetes. The ability to diagnose remotely can also be useful in locations with limited access to medical facilities. Read more →
