The GPT-4o model is notable for its multimodal capabilities, processing and generating outputs across text, audio, and image modalities in real time. It has shown significant improvements in non-English languages and enhanced understanding of vision and audio compared to previous models (). The model is also faster and more cost-effective, being 50% cheaper than its predecessors ().
OpenAI has designated GPT-4o as a "medium" risk model due to its potential for persuasion, according to their Preparedness Framework (). The model has undergone extensive safety evaluations and mitigations, including external red teaming and internal safety measures ().
For more detailed information, you can refer to the GPT-4o System Card and the latest release notes from OpenAI ().
Elon Musk's xAI has recently released two new models, Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini, in August 2024. These models are currently available in beta for Premium and Premium+ subscribers on the X platform. Grok-2 is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, Grok-1.5, featuring advanced capabilities in chat, coding, and reasoning. It also includes a new image-generation feature powered by Black Forest Labs' FLUX.1 model, allowing users to create and publish images directly on the X social platform (The Verge, TechCrunch)
Grok-2 has shown improvements in various benchmarks, outperforming models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4-Turbo in certain areas. However, it has faced criticism for its lack of guardrails in image generation, leading to the creation of controversial and potentially harmful images. This has raised concerns about the spread of misinformation and the ethical use of the AI's capabilities ().
xAI plans to make both Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini available through an enterprise API later this month, which will include enhanced security features and multi-region inference deployments for low-latency access. The models are expected to power new AI-driven features on X, such as improved search capabilities, deeper insights into posts, and enhanced reply functions ().
MIT has recently released a comprehensive repository of AI risks, known as the AI Risk Repository. This database, developed by researchers at MIT's FutureTech project, includes over 700 potential risks associated with AI. The risks are categorized into seven domains and 23 subdomains, covering a wide range of issues such as misinformation, privacy and security, discrimination and toxicity, and AI system safety ()
The repository aims to provide an accessible and updatable overview of the AI risk landscape, helping organizations identify and mitigate potential risks. It is designed to be a resource for researchers, developers, businesses, evaluators, auditors, policymakers, and regulators. The database is freely available online and can be used to develop research, curricula, audits, and policy (Datanami, ZDNet)

-- Editor’s note: This article quotes comments from users who found substantial improvements in ChatGPT last week ... to which the editor of this blog agrees. Indeed, he noted that ChatGPT's summary of last week's top stories was so much better than his own drsfts that he published the chatbot's version instead. See TL;DR 12Aug24
