The language model could command robot arms, drones, and home assistant robots.

Imagine a scenario in which you can directly communicate with robots, enabling them to complete various tasks for you. To achieve this, Microsoft has outlined its plans to partner with OpenAI to develop ChatGPT’s capabilities to control robots. The software giant used the chatbot and “controlled multiple platforms such as robot arms, drones, and home assistant robots intuitively with language,” the company wrote in a blog post.

Productivity app Notion has started charging customers for its recently introduced AI features. The move potentially paves the way for companies such as Microsoft to start charging extra fees for AI assistants.

Notion offered the AI assistant as part of a “private alpha” earlier this year. The feature allows users to invoke the AI to perform tasks such as autocompleting passages of text, brainstorming ideas, creating summaries of documents or simply fixing the spelling and grammar (which has suddenly become an ‘AI’ task in several. modern apps).

Notion charges users up to $10 per month to use its AI assistant. Are the days of free AI tools coming to an end?

Microsoft’s Bing AI chatbot history dates back at least six years, with Sydney first appearing in 2021.

Microsoft’s new Bing chatbot AI often refers to itself as Sydney because what you see today in Microsoft’s search engine is the result of years of work to make Bing chatbots a reality. Microsoft first started publicly testing its Sydney chatbot inside Bing in a small number of countries throughout 2021. The testing went largely unnoticed, even after Microsoft made a big bet on bots in 2016. In fact, the origins of the “new Bing” might surprise you.

Sydney is a codename for a chatbot that has been responding to some Bing users since late 2020.

The country has previously banned Google, Facebook, YouTube, and Wikipedia.

Regulators in China have told big tech companies in the country not to offer ChatGPT services to the public, according to a report from Nikkei Asia.

Several Chinese firms are also working on their own versions of ChatGPT, with some saying they are on the verge of releasing public versions.

OpenAI Foundry is set to become a new service for enterprises. A leak provides insight into model pricing – and how powerful GPT-4 could become.

OpenAI is launching a new developer product called Foundry, designed for “cutting-edge customers running larger workloads, allowing inference at scale”. Foundry is said to give enterprises full control over model configuration and performance profiling. The information comes from screenshots shared by a Twitter user from Foundry’s early access program.

OpenAI has privately announced a new developer product called Foundry, which enables customers to run OpenAI model inference at scale w/ dedicated capacity.

The story of how humanity discovered its place in the universe.

An organic artificial spiking neuron based on nonlinear ionoelectronic phenomena is reported that is sensitive to ionic and biomolecular species common in neuronal signalling. The neuron realistically emulates the function and firing properties of biological neurons and enables biohybrid interfaces made of artificial and biological components that function in real time.

Researchers at Harvard University, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Arizona State University, and other institutes in the United States have recently observed an antiferromagnetic metal phase in electron-doped NdNiO₃ a material known to be a non-collinear antiferromagnet (i.e., exhibiting an onset of antiferromagnetic ordering that is concomitant with a transition into an insulating state).

“Previous works on the rare-earth nickelates (RNiO₃) have found them to host a rather exotic phase of magnetism known as a ‘noncollinear antiferromagnet,’” Qi Song, Spencer Doyle, Luca Moreschini and Julia A. Mundy, Four of the researchers who carried out the study, told Phys.org.

“This type of magnet has unique potential applications in the field of spintronics, yet rare-earth nickelates famously change spontaneously from being metallic to insulating at the exact same temperature that this noncollinear antiferromagnet phase turns on. We wanted to see if we could somehow modify one of these materials in a way so that it remained metallic, but still had this interesting magnetic phase.”
