🧙♂️Mysterious “gpt2-chatbot” Appears

A mysterious AI model called “gpt2-chatbot” appeared in the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, showcasing advanced capabilities in nuanced content creation and code generation.
Key Details:
The AI model appeared to exceed conversational chatbots like Anthropic’s Claude 3, Meta’s Llama 3, and OpenAI’s GPT-4.
The “gpt2-chatbot” lacks any official documentation or attribution. However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on X: “I do have a soft spot for gpt2.”
Then, the LMSYS Chatbot Arena suddenly turned off the “gpt2-chatbot.”
Why It’s Important:
Users speculate that the “gpt2-chatbot” was a leak or sneak peek into the second version of ChatGPT. When prompted to identify itself, the AI model claimed OpenAI built it.
Many developers state this is a weak signal because of data contamination. Several AI models are trained using OpenAI’s data, leading them to believe OpenAI built them.

Microsoft announced it will invest $1.7 billion in Indonesia over the next four years to scale the country’s cloud infrastructure and support AI skilling opportunities for 840,000 citizens.
Key Details:
Microsoft’s investment will help the Indonesian government achieve its Golden Indonesia 2045 Vision, which aims to transform the country into a technology-based, developed nation and global economic powerhouse.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella explained: “The investment we announce today, spanning digital infrastructure, skilling, and developer support, will help Indonesia thrive in this new era.”
This investment enables Microsoft to meet Indonesia’s surging demand for cloud computing services. It also allows Indonesia to capitalize on the economic opportunities of AI advancements.
Why It’s Important:
According to Kearney, AI advancements could contribute nearly $1 trillion to Southeast Asia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2023, of which Indonesia would capture $366 billion.
Microsoft is fueling global AI development with a $2.9 billion investment in cloud computing and AI infrastructure in Japan and a $1.5 billion investment in UAE-based AI firm G42.
These investments make Microsoft the core provider of AI infrastructure in developing and developed countries.

🎬ShengShu-AI’s New Vidu Model
Chinese technology firm ShengShu-AI unveiled Vidu, a text-to-video AI model that rivals OpenAI’s Sora. With a single click, Vidu can generate high-quality, 16-second videos at 1080p resolution.
Vidu’s capabilities lie in its Universal Vision Transformer (U-ViT) architecture. U-ViT merges the strengths of both diffusion and transformer-based text-to-video AI models.
ShengShu-AI started developing Vidu in 2022 with a proprietary architecture that predates Sora’s Diffusion Transformer (DiT) workflow.
Sora’s DiT workflow leverages an artificial neural network architecture that understands and manipulates sequences of information to convert text into visual patches.
