5 Haiku has been released, claiming to surpass all previous models except the new 3.

5 Sonet, while being significantly more affordable.

The model's pricing has increased dramatically, causing backlash, and Anthropic justifies the hike by highlighting the model's enhanced intelligence and performance.

The announcement, coupled with a controversial blog post on targeted regulation, has received negative feedback from the public.

Vulture's Bare Metal Systems and OpenAI's Compute Bottleneck

Vulture offers bare metal systems for full control over hardware and quick application installation, with a $300 credit for the first 30 days.

OpenAI's product delays are attributed to a lack of compute, leading to plans for building their own data centers and chips.

Physical Intelligence has released a robot with a general-purpose foundation model, aiming to develop artificial physical intelligence for task execution.

A Minecraft game has been created entirely using diffusion models, with no underlying code or game engine, and it is fully playable now.

OpenAI's leadership, including Sam Altman, held a Reddit AMA, discussing plans to reduce API costs and the expected timeline for image input in the 01 model.

The O series of models is set to gain multimodality and tool use features in the coming months, aiming to become more powerful.

AI agents are expected to better understand personal information and take actions on behalf of users, with Apple and Google well-positioned to lead in the AI race due to their control of hardware and private data.

Chat GPT's new search feature offers real-time information and competes with Perplexity, while Meta's touch robots aim to replicate the five senses for better navigation and task execution.

Recraft's new text-to-image model, Red Panda, is topping the leaderboards with impressive results.

AI's Impact on Google Engineering and Chat GPT Updates

AI is now responsible for over 25% of the code written by Google Engineers, significantly increasing productivity.

The AI's role is more like tab completion, helping to architect and complete code rather than generating it end-to-end.

Chat GPT has introduced a feature to search through chat history, making it easier for users to find previous conversations.
