Generative AI Weekly - Feb. 15, 2024

February 15, 2024

  • Stable Cascade launches - you can run it locally on your own computer
  • Meta launches V-JEPA - open source with a very cool demo video. (“V-JEPA is a step toward a more grounded understanding of the world so machines can achieve more generalized reasoning and planning,”)
  • OpenAI launches its text to video model, Sora. Not yet for consumers but.. rumors abound about the tech behind the hood. Some additional demos here. "The model has a deep understanding of language, enabling it to accurately interpret prompts and generate compelling characters that express vibrant emotions. Sora can also create multiple shots within a single generated video that accurately persist characters and visual style."
  • Google launches Gemeni 1.5 - with a context window of 1 million tokens (a ~100x improvement versus standard models) - seems like you can now throw ~10 books into it and still have room to chat!
  • OpenAI launches memory ("We’re testing memory with ChatGPT. Remembering things you discuss across all chats saves you from having to repeat information and makes future conversations more helpful.")
