šŸš€OpenAI Launches New Mini AI Model?!

OpenAI launched a new cost-effective small AI model called ā€œGPT-4o miniā€ to make advanced AI capabilities more accessible, affordable, and scalable.

Key Details:
  • ā€œGPT-4o miniā€ scored 82% on the Measuring Massive Multitask Language Understanding (MMLU) benchmark, which covers 16,000 questions from 57 academic disciplines.

  • ā€œGPT-4o miniā€ is 60% cheaper than previous AI models like GPT-3.5 Turbo and has a context window of 128K tokens that supports text and image inputs.

  • Tokens are the building blocks used for processing information. The bigger an AI modelā€™s context window, the more information it can process in a given prompt.

  • The new small AI model is replacing GPT-3.5 Turbo in ChatGPT for Free, Plus, and Team users starting today.

  • ā€œGPT-4o miniā€ also leverages an instruction hierarchy method to improve the AI modelā€™s ability to resist jailbreaks, prompt injections, and system prompt extractions.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • ā€œGPT-4o miniā€ outperforms small AI models like Googleā€™s Gemini Flash and Anthropicā€™s Claude Haiku at reasoning tasks that involve text and image inputs.

  • Small Language Models (SLMs) are essential to widespread AI adoption because they require less computational resources, making them cost-effective to train and deploy.

šŸ¤“Salesforce Announces Einstein Service Agent

Salesforce announced the Einstein Service Agent, a fully autonomous AI agent streamlining customer service operations.

Key Details:
  • Built on the Einstein 1 Platform, Einstein Service Agent analyzes the full context of a customerā€™s messages and then autonomously determines what actions to take.

  • It relies on GenAI algorithms trained on trusted business data to tailor customer conversations to the companyā€™s brand voice, tone, and guidance.

  • AI agents perform tasks while chatbots provide information to help us make decisions.

  • While chatbots can perform functions like summarizing documents or answering questions, their context is limited to the prompting space.

  • AI agents can operate autonomously across websites, apps, and data types (e.g., text, image, audio, video, and code).

  • Chatbots enhance marginal productivity, but AI agents eliminate swaths of digital work, empowering us to perform high-order tasks.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • ā€œSalesforce is delivering a future where human and digital agents join forces to improve the customer experience,ā€ explained Kishan Chetan, General Manager of Service Cloud.

  • Most companies rely on chatbots today, but 81% of customers would rather wait and speak to live agents, underscoring the need to deliver more intelligent, autonomous customer service options.

AI RESEARCH

šŸ§ AI Predicts Progress of Alzheimerā€™s

Scientists developed an artificially intelligent tool that predicts whether patients with early signs of dementia will remain stable or develop Alzheimerā€™s disease.

Dementia poses a significant healthcare challenge, affecting over 55 million people worldwide at an estimated annual cost of $820 billion. The number of cases is expected to 3X over the next 50 years.

The artificially intelligent tool analyzes data from routinely collected, noninvasive, low-cost cognitive assessments and structured Magnetic Reasoning Imaging (MRI).

The artificially intelligent tool was able to distinguish between patients with mild cognitive impairment and those who progressed to Alzheimerā€™s disease within three years.

The artificially intelligent tool drastically reduced misdiagnosis rates by accurately identifying 82% of cases that progressed to Alzheimerā€™s and 81% of cases that remained stable.

The scientists validated the artificially intelligent tool using six-year follow-up data tested across memory clinics in several countries to prove its global application.
