🏁 Meta is too ambitious, 🗞️ AP and OpenAI team up, and How to beat silicon valley giants.

Hi Team and welcome to all the new family members, 👋

Today we share how Meta is trying to compete with anything that moves or creates. They launched threads, a Twitter competitor just a few weeks ago, are working on platforms to compete with ChatGPT and Claude, are also developing a Character.ai competitor, and they just unveiled a text-to-image generator to take on midjourney and Dall-E.

But is Meta being overly ambitious? Can they realistically compete on so many fronts? Share your thoughts below.

Also, we have the most complete Ai course by one of the Ai godfathers Yan LeCun, as well as How startups can take on Silicon Valley giants using creativity and imagination to fill the gaps.

Let’s dive in. Don’t forget to like, comment, and share the love.

Share it and make sure you are fully on board.

🗞️ AP and OpenAI Team Up to Advance Use of AI in News Industry (link)

The Associated Press struck a two-year deal with AI firm OpenAI to collaborate on news content and technology, marking a major milestone between a news company and an AI firm.

OpenAI will license AP's text archive to train its algorithms, in return, AP gets access to OpenAI's systems. The deal aims to help AP develop responsible AI uses for news and establish industry standards around AI to protect content creators.

🏁 Is Meta trying to compete with Everyone?

These days seem like Zuckerberg’s company is launching competitors to anything out there. Recently, we saw the release of Threads, a Twitter competitor that amassed 100+ million downloads in less than a week, although is losing momentum. Character.AI, which lets users create artificial intelligence-powered chatbots modeled after famous figures has been under pressure to raise funds after Meta announced working on a similar app.

Now MetaAI is going after text-to-image platforms like midjourney and Dall-E with the release of CM3leon.

• CM3leon is a powerful multimodal AI model for text-to-image and image-to-text generation.

• It achieves state-of-the-art performance with less compute compared to previous models.

• CM3leon excels in tasks such as image generation, editing, and various text-based tasks.

• The model's architecture is based on a transformer and is trained with retrieval augmentation and instruction fine-tuning.

• Transparency and collaboration are emphasized to address biases and create fairer models.

• CM3leon's performance contributes to higher-quality image generation and understanding.

• It has potential applications in boosting creativity and metaverse experiences.

Opportunities in AI: Creating Abundant Intelligence.

• Generative AI like ChatGPT brings complex tasks within reach and is set to transform society. Startups have an opportunity in applying AI to create "abundant intelligence".

• In the past year, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and Midjourney have rapidly grown to $100M+ revenue. 

• AI startups face competition from tech giants also moving quickly into AI. Startups must pick spots where they have an advantage.

• Opportunities exist in expanding the application universe into new greenfield opportunities like automating mundane decisions, masking workflow complexity, and reimagining applications.

• Infrastructure tools make models more powerful by chaining them together and improving accuracy. Opportunity areas include unstructured data management, agent-driven automation, model evaluation, and experimentation. 

• Key players emerging are foundation model providers like OpenAI and Anthropic, companies building domain-specific models, and platforms for autonomous agents.

• Advantages exist for startups focused on imagination and technical ability to find non-obvious ideas, while large companies retrofit existing businesses.
