This article was created entirely by AI. It was researched by custom agents given access to the web and processed with GPT-4, it was written by Bard using a custom API wrapper, and finally edited by an in-house content editor AI with access to GPT-4.
All videos and images were automatically scraped, resized, and converted to MP4.
Finally, a human (me), gave it a once over and fixed some issues.

This means that you can now use ChatGPT+ to search the web and find information, you are no longer limited to information on the Internet prior to October 2022.
Bing Plugins
Microsoft has revealed over 60 new Bing plugins for Windows. These plugins will allow users to access a variety of information and services directly from within the Bing search bar. Developers can now integrate their apps with Windows Copilot, which will allow users to get help with tasks such as writing, coding, and research.
Developers will also be able to create their own plugins and integrate them with Windows Copilot.
Bing Chat Updates
New features have come to Bing including;
New image & video answers.
chat history.
Share & export results.
Google
Lots of announcements from Google I/O. first up…
PaLM 2
PaLM 2, Google's next-generation large language model (LLM), is a powerful tool that can be used for a variety of tasks, including code generation, reasoning, and multilingual translation. PaLM 2 is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, which allows it to learn the nuances of human language and how to use it to complete tasks.
PaLM 2 has been shown to be highly effective at a variety of tasks, including:
Code generation: PaLM 2 can generate code in a variety of programming languages, including Python, Java, and C++.
Reasoning: PaLM 2 can reason about complex problems and provide accurate answers to questions.
Multilingual translation: PaLM 2 can translate text from one language to another with high accuracy.
PaLM API and MakerSuite: A Powerful Tool for Generative AI
The PaLM API and MakerSuite are a powerful new tool that can be used to build a wide variety of generative AI applications. Some examples of possible applications include:
Content generation: The PaLM API can be used to generate text, such as blog posts, articles, and even creative writing.
Summarization: The PaLM API can be used to summarize text, such as news articles or research papers.
Classification: The PaLM API can be used to classify text, such as emails or social media posts.
Project TailWind
Project Tailwind is an AI-first notebook that helps you learn faster by providing you with the information you need when you need it. Tailwind uses AI to understand your interests and goals and then curates a personalized learning experience for you. This includes providing you with relevant articles, videos, and other resources, as well as helping you to track your progress and stay motivated.
Intel
Intel has announced Aurora genAI, a generative AI model with 1 trillion parameters. This model is designed to help scientific research by using Intel's massive supercomputer processing power.
Aurora genAI is a real competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Meta's models. It is trained on a massive dataset of text, code, and scientific data, which allows it to generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way.
Aurora genAI is still under development, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way scientific research is done.
Anthropic
Anthropic are a direct competitor to OpenAI
Claude
Claude Now Supports 100K tokens text, which is equivalent to around 75,000 words. This means you can now submit hundreds of pages of materials for Claude to digest and analyze. Conversations with Claude can now go on for hours or even days.
Adobe
Adobe has now integrated generative AI capabilities into Photoshop! This means that you can now create, add to, remove, or replace images in Photoshop with simple text prompts. For example, you could say "add a cat to this image" or "remove the background from this image" and Photoshop will generate the desired result.
They also released the Generative Fill feature which looks amazing.
META
META is launching a new AI model that supports speech-to-text and text-to-speech for over 1,100+ languages. Existing speech models only cover approximately 100 languages — a fraction of the 7,000+ known languages spoken on the planet.
OpenAI
OpenAI has just released 86 ChatGPT Plugins to the public. These plugins allow you to use ChatGPT for a variety of tasks, including coding, web design, shopping, stocks, and more.
Here is a brief overview of some of the most popular ChatGPT Plugins:
Coding: The coding plugins allow you to use ChatGPT to generate code, debug code, and learn new programming languages.
Web design: The web design plugins allow you to use ChatGPT to design websites, generate CSS code, and find inspiration for new web designs.
Shopping: The shopping plugins allow you to use ChatGPT to find products, compare prices, and make purchases.
Stocks: The stocks plugins allow you to use ChatGPT to track stocks, get news about stocks, and make investment decisions.
These are just a few of the many ChatGPT Plugins that are available.
By default, you won’t see these. You need to:
Click on the 3 dots at the bottom left.
Go to Settings and then Beta features.
Activate the Plugins feature.

And finally, from the guy who sparked all our interest in open-source AI.
BabyCatAGI
BabyCatAGI is a mod of BabyBeeAGI, which is a mod of the original BabyAGI. BabyCatAGI is 300 lines of code.
This was built as a continued iteration of the original BabyAGI code in a lightweight way. Differences from BabyAGI include the following:
Task Creation Agent runs once
Execution Agent loops through tasks
Task dependencies for pulling relevant results
Two tools: search_tool and text_completion
“Mini-agent” as a tool
Search tool combines search, scrape, chunking, and extraction.
Results combined to create summary_report
And that’s it for this article. Please note that this article was not designed to pass and AI detection tests, but will probably so fairly well.
