🎙OpenAI Previews Voice Engine AI Model

OpenAI previewed Voice Engine, an AI model that leverages text inputs and a single 15-second audio sample to generate natural-sounding speech.

Key Details:

• The AI model preserves the original speaker’s accent, emotions, and pitch in the generated speech.

• OpenAI is taking a cautious and informed approach to a broader release due “to the potential for synthetic voice misuse.” So, Voice Engine is being tested by a small group of trusted partners, including AI startup HeyGen.

• OpenAI has implemented safety measures such as watermarking to trace the origin of audio generated by Voice Engine.

• The startup revealed that it first developed Voice Engine in late 2020 to power the voice library available in the text-to-speech API as well as the ChatGPT Voice and Read Aloud feature.

Why It’s Important:

• Voice Engine’s early applications involve providing reading assistance to non-readers and children, translating content to reach global communities, and supporting non-verbal patients.

• OpenAI’s new AI model also poses security threats to established authentication systems, such as voice authentication for banks and financial services. It’s crucial to outline the potential drawbacks of voice-based GenAI applications and prepare institutions to combat phishing scams utilizing this immersive technology.

🤯OpenAI’s ChatGPT Doesn’t Require an Account?!

OpenAI’s ChatGPT, the startup’s flagship conversational chatbot, is now accessible to everyone without requiring users to make an account.

Key Details:

• In a blog post, OpenAI explained: “More than 100 million people across 185 countries use ChatGPT weekly to learn something new, find creative inspiration, and get answers to their questions.”

• Website visitors no longer need to log in to OpenAI to access ChatGPT. Instead, they’re dropped right into a conversation with ChatGPT.

• However, these website visitors aren’t given access to the same set of features as account owners:

  1. Save or Share Chats

  2. Use Custom Instructions

  3. Access New Features and Improvements

• This extra-free version of ChatGPT will have “slightly more restrictive content policies.”

Why It’s Important:

• Even the refined, low-lift GPT-3.5 inference system is expensive, requiring power and server space. So, website visitors might exploit OpenAI’s resources for personal benefit.

• This decision enhances OpenAI’s data collection funnel by attracting more users to gather more data, improving ChatGPT’s capabilities by making it more informative and comprehensive in future iterations.

AI RESEARCH

📊Databricks State-Of-The-Art Open LLM

Databricks introduced DBRX, an open-source Large Language Model (LLM) with advanced language and code understanding capabilities.

DBRX outperforms major open-source AI models, including Mistral’s Mixtral Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), Meta’s Llama-2, and xAI’s Grok-1, in language understanding, programming, and math.

DBRX’s inference, which is trained to process and draw conclusions from new data, is 2X faster than Meta’s Llama 2 and 40% smaller than xAI’s Grok-1 in total and active parameter counts.

The open-source LLM surpasses OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 Turbo on long-context tasks and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), a technique for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of generative AI models with facts fetched from external sources.
