AI can make your internal and external presentations pop with beautiful, photographic imagery.
Stable Diffusion 3.0 is here, now accepting prompts up to 10,000 characters long. This is a major change for diffusion models, which power Dall-E, Imagen and many image capabilities of top AI tools.
Head over to replicate.com to experiment! Try changing the backdrop of the characters, what they wear, as we’ve done here, to get a feel for how this works.
a man and woman are standing together on a deck overlooking lake tahoe, the sun is bright in the sky, the water is calm, snow can be seen on the mountains, the woman is wearing a t-shirt with a yoda motif, she has a long skirt with birds on it, the man is wearing a three piece purple suit, he has spiky red hair
What’s Hot
Runway's Gen-3 attempts to take the video crown this week with high-fidelity, controllable videos… advancements that actually help cancer research.
Details
Gen-3 Alpha creates detailed, dynamic videos, surpassing previous models in fidelity and motion.
Trained on multimodal data, it integrates visual, textual, and audio elements with precision.
Features improved safety and privacy standards, ensuring responsible use.
Why it Matters
Gen-3 Alpha's ability to integrate and analyze multiple data modes—like video, audio, and text—mirrors the complexities of cancer research, where understanding the interplay of various biological systems is crucial.
By advancing video AI, technologies like Gen-3 Alpha pave the way for better tools in cancer diagnosis and drug discovery, enhancing the visualization and analysis of complex, interdependent medical data. This can lead to more accurate insights and innovative treatments in oncology.
Mira Murati, CTO of OpenAI, said that GPT-3 was toddler-level, GPT-4 was a smart high schooler and the next generation, to be released in a year and a half, will be PhD-level.
Why It Matters
Elon Musk once predicted we’ll see AGI by 2025, a single system that can handle most cognitive tasks of a human.
Will we get an AI Christmas present in 2025??
Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet outperforms GPT-4o in benchmarks, offering advanced reasoning, knowledge, and coding skills, available for free on Claude.ai and the Claude iOS app.
Details
Claude 3.5 Sonnet surpasses competitors in graduate-level reasoning, undergraduate-level knowledge, and coding proficiency.
The model is twice as fast as Claude 3 Opus and excels at interpreting charts and transcribing text from images.
Available for free with higher limits for paid plans, ensuring safety and privacy with no training on user data without explicit permission.
Why it Matters
Claude 3.5 Sonnet is a valuable research tool for oncologists, similar to an interactive version of PubMed or the New England Journal of Medicine. It offers quick access to extensive medical knowledge and helps interpret complex data, aiding research and staying updated with medical advancements. This tool streamlines workflows, allowing oncologists to focus more on patient care.
Coursera's data reveals a global surge in GenAI skill demand, with the U.S. and U.K. lagging behind other countries in equipping their workforces.
Details
GenAI course enrollments on Coursera increased by 1,060% since the launch of ChatGPT.
The U.S. saw a 1,058% increase but is still behind countries like India, which saw a 1,648% increase.
The U.S. ranks 69th in Coursera's Global Skills Report, while Switzerland, Japan, and Germany lead.
Why it Matters
The demand for GenAI skills is critical as AI continues to transform industries and job roles.
The U.S. and U.K. need to significantly invest in upskilling their workforces to avoid falling behind in the global AI race.
Color Health's AI assistant (powered by OpenAI) speeds up cancer screening and pretreatment, helping doctors reduce burnout and improve patient outcomes.
Details
Color Health's AI copilot uses OpenAI's GPT-4o to create personalized cancer screening and pretreatment plans.
Clinicians in trials analyzed patient records in five minutes, significantly reducing administrative time.
The AI copilot assists with gathering diagnostic tests, imaging, and lab results, expediting the pretreatment process.
Why it Matters
AI tools like Color Health's copilot help oncologists manage overwhelming administrative tasks, reducing burnout and allowing them to focus on patient care.
This integration of AI enhances efficiency and potentially improves patient outcomes by speeding up critical diagnostic processes. By automating mundane tasks, doctors can spend more time on direct patient care, staying at the forefront of medical practice and improving their work-life balance.
