The Big Picture 🔊

ChatGPT Gets Real-Time Search Powers

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Search, a new feature integrated into the ChatGPT platform that provides timely answers from a variety of online sources, powered by a fine-tuned version of GPT-4. Initially available to ChatGPT Plus and Team users, it offers web search results, including photos and links to sources.

This makes quick online searches much simpler - no more clicking through multiple pages to find what you need. While Google is moving in a similar direction with its Overview feature, the real question is about OpenAI's business model.

Will they follow Google's pay-to-show-up approach, or create something new?

Claude 3.5 Haiku Joins Anthropic's Model Family

Anthropic's new AI model, Claude 3.5 Haiku, is more intelligent than its predecessor, Claude 3 Haiku, leading to a price increase now starting at $1 per million input tokens. Despite lacking image analysis features, it can produce longer texts and reference more recent events, prompting questions about Anthropic's future pricing strategy.

Anthropic’s price hike is a bold move, especially after keeping costs steady with Claude 3.5 Sonnet. They’re betting that the model’s improvements justify the increase, but with Claude 3 Haiku still in the API, developers keep having a lower-cost option.

Time will tell if performance or cost matters more to users.

Meta Opens Llama to Five Nations' Security Agencies

Meta is allowing its open-source AI model, Llama, to be used by US, UK, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand national security agencies, despite its typical restrictions. This decision aims to bolster security and economic interests amid a competitive global AI race, particularly against China.

Meta is sharing its AI with major government agencies, which puts them in a unique position. While this helps them build relationships with powerful nations, it also raises concerns.

Are tech companies getting too close to governments? And who's responsible if something goes wrong?
