Meta’s new exciting AI experiences & tools
Meta's new AI features include an AI Assistant powered by Bing, It will provide real-time information and generate photorealistic images from text prompts. Meta used specialized datasets to train the AI to respond in a conversational and friendly tone. The first extension of the AI Assistant will be web search. The AI Assistant will be available in beta on WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram.
Introduced 28 AI personality chatbots based on celebrities, such as Tom Brady, Naomi Osaka, Mr. Beast, and more. These chatbots, accessible on platforms like WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram, provide topic-specific conversations but are currently text-based, with plans to introduce audio capabilities. These AI personalities were created using Llama 2. Meta aims to integrate Bing search functionality in the future. The chatbots' animations are generated through AI techniques, offering a cohesive visual experience.
Launching AI Studio, a platform allowing businesses to build AI chatbots for Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger, initially focusing on Messenger for e-commerce and customer support apps. This toolkit will be available in alpha.
Gen AI stickers powered by Emu allow users to create unique stickers across its messaging apps. Users can type in their desired image descriptions, and Emu generates multiple sticker options in just a few seconds. Initially available to English-language users, this feature will roll out over the next month.
Introducing 2 new AI Instagram features, restyle and backdrop. Restyle allows users to transform the visual styles of their images by entering prompts like "watercolor" or more. While backdrop changes the background of photos using prompts.
Launches New-gen Ray-Ban smart glasses, in partnership with EssilorLuxottica, will feature improved audio and cameras, over 150 different custom frame and lens combinations. They’re lighter and more comfortable. Will enable livestream to Facebook or Instagram and use “Hey Meta” to engage with Meta AI assistant by voice.
Why does this matter?
Meta’s this move leads the race with technology heat-up. Its new AI-driven experiences and tools will enhance user interactions to the next level and open up numerous possibilities in communication and content creation.
OpenAI links ChatGPT with Internet
ChatGPT is back with internet browsing, It can now browse the internet to provide current & reliable information, along with direct links to sources. This update addresses feedback received since the browsing feature was launched in May. The model now follows robots.txt and identifies user agents to respect website preferences.
Currently available to Plus and Enterprise users, browsing will be expanded to all users soon.
To try it out, enable Browse in your beta features setting:
Click on 'Profile & Settings’ > Select 'Beta features' > Toggle on ‘Browse with Bing’ > Choose Browse with Bing in the selector under GPT-4.
Why does this matter?
Users can now access up-to-date and trustworthy information with direct source links, making it a valuable tool for research, problem-solving, and knowledge acquisition. Also, they're trying to make it a valuable resource for a broader audience.
Mistral AI’s LLM outperforms Meta’s Llama2 13B
Mistral AI, Europe's largest seeded startup, has released its first LLM Mistral 7B. This model outperforms Meta's Llama 2 13B and is touted as the most powerful language model for its size. It was founded by alums from Google's DeepMind and Meta earlier this year. It aims to make AI useful for enterprises by using publicly available data and customer contributions.
Mistral 7B excelled in benchmarks, surpassing Llama 2 7B and 13B in text summarization, classification, and code completion tasks. The only area where Llama 2 13B matched Mistral 7B was world knowledge testing.
Why does this matter?
Mistral 7B can enhance productivity and innovation in various fields, from software development to content generation. Mistral AI's approach of using publicly available data and customer contributions makes AI more accessible and useful for enterprises.

Knowledge Nugget: 🤖🗣 Generative Agents, 🏛 Forums for Foundation Models by
This Paper by
discusses the use of LLMs to create a simulated world where AI agents interact with each other. The agents have memory and retrieval capabilities, can reflect on their experiences, and can plan and react to situations. The LLMs are used for various tasks, such as generating insights, converting actions to emojis, and generating dialogue.
The paper also highlights the potential research directions in multi-agent LLM systems, such as studying emergent communication and human behavior. The paper suggests a dedicated conference for LLMs and emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary dialogue and accessibility in LLM research.
Why does this matter?
This paper extends the application of LLMs beyond text generation, potentially impacting domains like generating insights and dialogue.
