Unleashing the Power of GPTs: OpenAI's Latest Developments and User Creations

OpenAI held its first developer conference and announced the launch of GPTs, which allow developers to build their own conversational AI systems powered by OpenAI's models and publish them on the GPT Store. OpenAI's shift from AI model provider to platform has the potential to disrupt consultancies and make model providers without app-building tools less attractive. In other AI news, Samsung unveiled its own generative AI family, Microsoft offers free AI compute for startups, YouTube tests generative AI features, and Mozilla releases an AI chatbot. Additionally, machine learning models are making advancements in weather prediction, text analysis, and college admissions essays, while researchers are exploring AI's limitations and the need for regulations in official AI use. In the world of virtual reality, a machine learning model is enhancing interactions with virtual objects, and an exhibition at EPFL explores the intersection of AI and comics.
