1. OpenAI just launched ChatGPT for Windows

OpenAI has released a Windows desktop application for its popular AI chatbot, ChatGPT. The app allows users to access the AI assistant via a keyboard shortcut, aiming to boost productivity and make AI assistance accessible without a web browser.

This move reveals OpenAI's ambition to become the de facto AI assistant for knowledge workers, potentially disrupting traditional enterprise software providers and potentially displacing or absorbing functions currently served by separate software suites.

2. X updates its privacy policy to allow third parties to train AI models with its data

X is updating its privacy policy to allow users' data to be shared with third-party collaborators for AI model training. The policy, set to take effect on November 15, 2024, could potentially open up a new revenue stream for the social media company.

Additionally, X is imposing stricter penalties for "scraping" large numbers of tweets, with a penalty of $15,000. Elon Musk has previously criticized "scraping" and has used allegations to justify lawsuits against organizations studying hate speech and other issues on the platform.

3. H2O.ai’s new AI models challenge tech giants in document analysis

H2O.ai has released two new vision-language models, H2OVL Mississippi-2B and H2OVL-Mississippi-0.8B, designed to enhance document analysis and optical character recognition (OCR) tasks. These models, with only 800 million parameters, outperformed larger models from major tech companies, potentially offering a more efficient solution for businesses dealing with document-heavy workflows.

H2O.ai's strategy is to make AI technology more accessible by making the models freely available on Hugging Face, allowing developers and businesses to modify and adapt the models for specific document AI needs.

5. Cheap AI “video scraping” can now extract data from any screen recording

AI researcher Simon Willison used video scraping to extract payment values and dates from a dozen separate emails. The technique, similar to ChatGPT, allowed the AI model to convert the video into a JSON format.

The accuracy of the results and the cost of running the video analysis were surprising. This technique is part of the growing trend of large language models (LLMs) being "multimodal" models that can interpret multimedia input into tokens.
