DeepSeek-V3
In December 2024, Chinese AI company DeepSeek introduced its advanced model, DeepSeek-V3. It outperforms models like Llama 3.1 and Qwen 2.5 and performs just as well as leading models such as GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. What makes DeepSeek unique is its ability to create this advanced technology at a much lower cost and with fewer resources than its competitors, showing its innovative and efficient methods.
A key part of DeepSeek’s success is its open-source strategy. By making its models and tools freely available, the company has built a large, active community of developers and researchers. This openness has helped DeepSeek grow quickly and gain a strong influence in the global AI industry.
However, DeepSeek’s rapid growth and China’s progress in AI have raised concerns in the United States. Some U.S. lawmakers worry that China is gaining a lead in technology and have suggested a major project, similar to the Manhattan Project, to speed up AI development and keep the U.S. competitive.
There is also debate in the U.S. Congress about banning open-source AI models like those shared by DeepSeek. Supporters of such a ban believe that freely available AI could pose security risks if used improperly. Critics, however, argue that restricting open-source AI could slow innovation and harm international collaboration. If a ban is introduced, it could change how AI is developed and shared around the world.
Midjourney's Patchwork
Midjourney has launched Patchwork, a new AI tool that helps people create stories together on an endless digital canvas. With Patchwork, users can:
Explore an Infinite Canvas: Move around a limitless digital space to place and link different parts of your story.
Use AI-Generated Content: Get help from AI to create detailed characters, settings, and events based on your ideas.
Collaborate in Real-Time: Work with others simultaneously to build and expand your shared stories.
To start using Patchwork, you need a Midjourney account and must sign in with Google. If you usually use Discord, make sure your account is connected to a Google account through the "manage profile" page.
Currently, Patchwork is in a research preview stage. The team plans to improve it based on user feedback, aiming to make it a comprehensive platform for immersive storytelling and creative teamwork.
Meta’s Vision for AI-Generated profiles
Meta plans to add AI-generated characters to its platforms to boost user engagement. These AI profiles will have their own bios and pictures and can create and share content. Connor Hayes, Meta's Vice President of Product for Generative AI, mentioned that these AI profiles could become a regular feature in the next few years.
This move is part of Meta's strategy to use AI technology to attract younger users and keep current users interested. They also plan to introduce new tools for content creators, like software that turns text into videos, allowing creators to appear in AI-generated videos.
However, experts worry that AI-generated content might spread false information or lower content quality. To address this, Meta has set rules requiring clear labels on AI-generated content on its platforms.
Meta emphasizes that investing in AI will be a priority over the next two years to make its platforms more entertaining and engaging for users
