Hey there!

You won't believe what I just found out about AI today while I was going through some AI news.

Remember when we were kids and thought computers would do all sorts of crazy stuff one day? Well, that day is here!

To be honest it's way cooler than we can imagine!

But hold on there is more chapter to unfold in AI.

What if your phone might soon tell you?

That your socks need washing or if you have any disease.

It would be great if you grab your favourite drink and enjoy reading this edition.

🪰 Buzz Around AI

Meta releases AI model 'Hermes 3', a fine-tuned version of its large-scale language model 'Llama 3.1'

On July 23, 2024, Meta made a new AI called Llama 3.1.

Then, not long after, on August 15, 2024, a smaller company called Nous Research took Llama 3.1 and made it even better.

They called their version Hermes 3.

Nous Research says Hermes 3 is really good for work stuff.

What's special about Hermes 3?

• They say it can do more things than other AIs like Claude and GPT-4.

• Most AI companies put limits on what their AIs can say or do. But Hermes 3 doesn't have these limits.

• You can ask Hermes 3 anything, and it will give you an answer without holding back.

The team found out something funny. If you ask Hermes 3 "Who are you?", it gets confused and worried. Instead of fixing this, they want people to find more weird things it can do.

How did they make it? They worked with another company called Lambda Labs. Lambda gave them very powerful computers to use. This shows that even small teams can now make really good AIs, just like big companies do.

Led by a former Google researcher, this company wants to give computers a sense of smell

You're not gonna believe this - remember Smell-O-Vision?

That crazy idea from way back when?

Well, it's making a comeback, and this time AI is getting involved!

There's this company called Osmo, and they're working on an AI that can understand and create smells.

Alex Wiltschko used to work at Google and thinks smell is super important. He says it can make us feel things and might even help with our health.

Here's how Osmo's smell AI works:

• They taught it about thousands of smell molecules

• This was tricky because small changes can make a smell go from nice to nasty really fast

• First, they want to make safer perfumes that won't make people itchy

• Later, they hope you'll be able to send smells through your phone or computer

But wait, there's more!

This smell of AI might even help doctors one day. Some people can smell diseases like Parkinson's before other signs show up. Dogs can smell cancer too.

Wiltschko thinks AI might be even better at smelling diseases than humans or dogs.

It'll take a while, but someday your phone might be able to tell you if you need a shower or a doctor's visit. Now that's what I call a smart smell!

What do you think?

😀AI Recap

1. Researchers in China have proposed an approach to building LLMs that is inspired by the human brain.

2. To break open the black box of generative AI models, Goodfire raises $7 million

3. In controlled experiments, MIT CSAIL researchers discovered simulations of reality deep within LLMs, indicating a more sophisticated understanding of language.

LUMA LABS MAKES DREAM MACHINE 1.5 BETTER

Quick Look: Luma Labs just made Dream Machine 1.5 way better. It's their AI thing that makes videos. Now it's smarter, makes better videos from words and pictures, and understands what you want more easily.

More Info:

• Dream Machine 1.5 is built on the old one that made good 5-second videos from words and pictures.

• The new one is better at understanding what you're asking for.

• It's great at making smooth, cool-looking videos that tell stories, but still not perfect at changing shapes or moving things.

• You can try Dream Machine 1.5 for free online. Click here

Why It's a Big Deal: AI is getting really good at making fake pictures that look real. Now, the next big thing is making fake videos that look real. Dream Machine 1.5 is a big step towards that.
