π¨βπ The most important AI updates at a glance
AI-HOI and happy Sunday, AInauts!
Maybe you didn't catch all the exciting news, tools and hacks about AI last week, or maybe you've just joined us. No need to worry!
We have summarized our highlights of the past week for you:
Finally, we have also put together the most important quick news for you - so you can keep an eye on all relevant developments with just one click! Ready? Let's go!
The new ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode is here for everyone - try it out and integrate it into your workflows.
And: You can also have ChatGPT read out its answers directly, and with the right browser extension you can even download it! If you want to have existing text read aloud, simply add "Repeat the following text at verbatim:" before your text.
And because ChatGPT doesn't sing yet, we've discovered a cool alternative: the Microsoft Copilot app on your mobile! It even sings for you - pretty cool, right?
OpenAI takes ChatGPT to the next level: An integrated, ad-free search with permanent web access! Bye-bye Google? Not quite yet, but the competition never sleeps.
With the latest news, sports results and stock market prices, ChatGPT is becoming an all-purpose research tool. And the best thing? You can use the results and work with them directly: Tables, HTML pages, address other GPTs with the @-function - you name it!
Sam Altman swears: "I hate ads... they are a last resort!" Sounds like music to our ears. While Google trembles, OpenAI ships one feature after the other. AGI, here we come!
The world of AI videos inspires with crystalline creatures that are so cute! If you want to immerse yourself in this sparkling world, try out the brand-new AI video generator pollo.ai.
With tools like Midjourney and Kling 1.5, you can create stunning visual effects. And you can even create these magical videos yourself in minutes - all you need is your smartphone, CapCut and a few tricks with KLING.
Who can keep up with all the new AI image models? FLUX has replaced Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, and with Recraft AI's new "red_panda" model, things are getting even more colorful. But who wants to pay a subscription for every model?
Don't worry, Replicate saves the day! With their new beta playground, you can use all the top models in one simple interface - no subscription, no commitment, all for just a few cents per image. Choose your model, type in your prompt, tweak a few settings and voilΓ !
Why settle for one language model when you can have them all? With OpenRouter Chat, you can pit models like Claude, Gemini, o1 and Grok against each other and pick the best answer! No annoying subscriptions, just usage-based payment - nice, isn't it?
Wow, things are moving fast in the AI world! This video got us thinking. Two years ago, a pixelated kitty was the nonplus ultra. Today, Runway, Kling, FLUX & Co. come up with hyper-realistic balls of fur on the screen.
