More from From ChatGPT to Gemini: how AI is rewriting the internet
OpenAI announced that it is teaming up with Los Alamos National Laboratory to explore how advanced AI models, such as GPT-4o, can safely aid in bioscientific research. I’m a bit disappointed because this was the plot of the science fiction horror book I always wanted to write.
The goal is to test how GPT-4o can help scientists perform tasks in a lab using vision and voice modalities.
A recent study found that if a coding problem put before ChatGPT (using GPT-3.5) existed on coding practice site LeetCode before its 2021 training data cutoff, it did a very good job generating functional solutions, writes IEEE Spectrum.
But when the problem was added after 2021, it sometimes didn’t even understand the questions and its success rate seemed to fall off a cliff, underscoring AI’s limitations without enough data.

Tech giants are rewriting the rules on web scraping, blaming unnamed third parties for disregarding robots.txt, and seemingly claiming the right to reuse anything posted anywhere for AI.
Now, Cloudflare is telling customers on its CDN that it can find and block AI bots that try to get around the rules.
The upshot of this globally aggregated data is that we can immediately detect new scraping tools and their behavior without needing to manually fingerprint the bot, ensuring that customers stay protected from the newest waves of bot activity.
Meta’s AI research team has a new system to create or retexture 3D objects based on a text prompt. It combines text-to-3D and text-to-texture generation models to go beyond AI-generated emoji or still images,
At WWDC, Apple announced a deal with OpenAI to make ChatGPT available for certain tasks on iPhones with iOS 18 and other devices (as long as you aren’t in the EU). Execs also mentioned Google Gemini, but the list doesn’t end there, according to the Wall Street Journal.
In addition to Google and Meta, AI startups Anthropic and Perplexity also have been in discussions with Apple to bring their generative AI to Apple Intelligence, said people familiar with the talks.
During a recent talk at Dartmouth’s school of engineering, OpenAI CTO Mira Murati said the quiet part out loud. I’ll let you watch and be the judge:
Siri meets generative AI, genmoji, image generation, and some big upgrades for Apple Photos. If you just want the Cliff’s Notes on Apple’s artificial intelligence plans, we’ve got you covered.
Google’s new ad showcases the many things its Gemini large language model can do — from the Gemini chatbot to Circle to Search and AI Overviews.
I can’t believe we’ve entered the LLM ad phase of this reality, but with ChatGPT becoming a household name and “Apple Intelligence” around the corner, the branding efforts will only increase.
