Nvidia keeps climbing 📈

Read time: under 4 minutes

It’s Nvidia’s world, and we’re all just living in it. The chip giant turned in yet another “flawless” earnings report this week. But is it enough to quiet fears that AI advancements are finally starting to level off?

TODAY IN AI

1. Would you trust your AI clone to make decisions for you? The idea might not be so far-fetched, according to a study from Stanford and DeepMind. Researchers interviewed 1,000 participants, then created digital replicas of them. The AI doppelgängers responded identically 85% of the time. The study’s author says it won’t be long before “you can have a bunch of small ‘yous’ running around and actually making the decisions that you would have made.”

2. Alphabet’s on a roll: A week after the experimental Gemini-Exp-1114 shot to the top of the Chatbot Arena rankings, it’s been unseated by none other than…a different Gemini model, named 1121 after its release date. Alphabet says the update, which is only available to developers for now, features improved coding, reasoning, and vision capabilities. It wasn’t kidding: Exp-1121 is now ranked #1 across each of those categories.

3. OpenAI’s feeling the heat as rivals chip away at its lead: In 2023, the Sam Altman-led startup accounted for half of the enterprise AI market. This year, it makes up just over a third. That’s welcome news for Anthropic, which doubled its market share to 24% this year. Meta’s results were a wash, remaining steady at 14%. Overall, companies’ AI spending swelled 500% this year compared with 2023.

4. But OpenAI could start chipping away at Alphabet’s lead soon: The ChatGPT maker is reportedly thinking about launching its own browser, a move that would threaten Alphabet. The news comes at a particularly sensitive time for Alphabet, as the US Department of Justice wants the company to sell its Chrome browser in order to end its monopoly in the search business.

Increase prompt accuracy with Anthropic’s prompt improver

Claude recently released a new prompt improver that takes an existing prompt and refines it with prompt engineering techniques like chain-of-thought reasoning. Here’s how to use it:

• Go to Anthropic’s Console and sign up/log in to your account.

• Select the ‘Improve an existing prompt’ option to access the prompt optimizer.

• Add a sample prompt template and describe how you'd like to improve it.

• In the template, you’ll need to have at least one {variable}. These are placeholder values that you can replace and reuse in your prompts.

Sample prompt: Create a draft to learn about the topic {enter variable}

Prompt for ‘What would you like to improve’ section: Make the output detailed

• Now select ‘Improve Prompt’, and click on ‘Open in Workbench’ to replace {variables} with your custom details.

• Click ‘Run’ once your prompt is ready and you’re done

FROM THE FRONTIER

Nvidia’s earnings report sends ripples through the industry

The world’s most valuable company beat expectations Wednesday with an earnings report so flawless one analyst said it “should be framed and hung in the Louvre.”

The company is getting ready to launch Blackwell, a new generation of AI chips, and demand is through the roof. It nearly doubled its revenue compared with last year, and its market cap is now higher than the GDPs of Brazil, Italy, and Canada.

While everything’s coming up roses for Nvidia, there’s still a lot of uncertainty in the air: Over the past couple weeks, major players like OpenAI and Alphabet have reportedly started running into a problem. Their latest models aren’t improving at the same rate, no matter how much compute they throw at them.

So there’s a lot riding on Nvidia’s success. With about 94% of the AI GPU market under its wing, the company is confident its chips are the key to helping companies push past current limitations. As CEO Jensen Huang put it, “the age of AI” is upon us.
