OpenAI is training its next flagship model, GPT-5, which is expected to bring significant upgrades including better accuracy, increased multimodality, and a preview of autonomous capabilities. These advancements could potentially bring AI closer to artificial general intelligence (AGI), allowing it to perform complex tasks with minimal instruction.
Google is set to introduce AI-powered features in the upcoming Chrome release, including an "Help me Write" feature and Tab Organizer to assist users with writing and tab management. This move is seen as a strategic one to integrate AI and ML into Chrome, potentially reducing the need for users to draft content on platforms like ChatGPT. Additionally, Google is ahead in multimodality with the introduction of Lumiere, a text-to-video diffusion model, while OpenAI is actively researching in this area.
