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 model’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 model’s ability to resist jailbreaks, prompt injections, and system prompt extractions.

Why It’s Important:
  • ā€œGPT-4o miniā€ outperforms small AI models like Google’s Gemini Flash and Anthropic’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 customer’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 company’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 It’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

🧠AI Predicts Progress of Alzheimer’s

Scientists developed an artificially intelligent tool that predicts whether patients with early signs of dementia will remain stable or develop Alzheimer’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 Alzheimer’s disease within three years.

The artificially intelligent tool drastically reduced misdiagnosis rates by accurately identifying 82% of cases that progressed to Alzheimer’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.
