🪰 Buzz Around AI

💔Microsoft-OpenAI Partnership Shows Signs of Strain

The tech world's favourite power couple might be heading for a break-up.

Microsoft and OpenAI, once inseparable allies in the AI revolution, are drifting apart. The shift began last month when OpenAI announced its move to a for-profit model.

The signs of trouble are clear:

• OpenAI is searching for new computing partners beyond Microsoft

• Microsoft has ramped up development of its own AI products

• The $13 billion partnership that once seemed unshakeable now looks uncertain

Adding to the drama, OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman returns from a sabbatical in weeks. His next move could signal where this relationship is headed.

The stakes are high. Microsoft wants returns on its massive investment. OpenAI wants independence. And the AI industry watches closely as this "best bromance in tech" faces its biggest test yet.

🔬 AI Model SLIViT Achieves Expert-Level Medical Scan Analysis

UCLA researchers have developed a groundbreaking AI system called SLIViT (SLice Integration by Vision Transformer) that matches human expert accuracy in analyzing 3D medical imaging while dramatically reducing processing time.

Key Features

• Analyzes multiple imaging formats including MRI, CT, and ultrasound scans

• Processes images 5,000 times faster than human specialists

• Requires minimal training data (hundreds of samples) compared to traditional AI models

• Uses transfer learning to leverage existing 2D medical imaging knowledge

Why it is important: 

As the demand for quick diagnostics grows, SLIViT can change healthcare by analyzing medical images swiftly and accurately. Its ability to work with small datasets helps healthcare providers with fewer resources. This could make expert medical imaging more accessible to everyone.

♨️ What’s Hot In AI

Haiper Enters AI Video Race with Free Generator

Ex-Google DeepMind engineers just unleashed Haiper 2.0, a free AI video platform that turns text into clips.

The tool creates 1080p videos, brings still images to life, and repaints existing footage. All without charging users a dime.

What you will get:

• HD video generation

• Ready-made video templates

• Image animation features

• Plans for 4K resolution

But there's a catch. The free version caps video length and quality options. Still, backed by $19M in funding, Haiper shows what's coming in AI video - even as it beats OpenAI's Sora to market.

This marks another step toward AI doing for video what it did for images last year: making creation simple for everyone.
