Use AI to Know It All

Welcome, AI Enthusiasts

OpenAI just shocked the AI world with ‘o1’, its new AI model that "thinks" before responding — and it outperforms humans on PhD-level science questions.

But how does it stack up against GPT-4o, what real-world breakthroughs could it unlock, and how can you access it? Let’s get into it…

In today's AI Edition:

  • Hire AI agents to be your productivity superheroes.

  • If microphones don’t pick up speech, AI can read lips.

BIGGEST NEWS STORY

The Latest Innovation in AI

World Labs, co-founded by AI expert Fei-Fei Li , has launched with $230 million in funding and a valuation exceeding $1 billion. The company is focused on developing AI models that understand and interact with 3D environments, referred to as "Large World Models" (LWMs). These models are designed to move beyond current generative AI, which only processes text, audio, and video, by enabling interaction with 3D spaces.

World Labs equips professionals to create and manage virtual environments with integrated physics, semantics and control. This technology simplifies the creation of immersive 3D worlds, similar to how ChatGPT generates text, and targets fields from game development to robotics. Read more.

TUTORIAL OF THE DAY

Turn any image into a similar, but unique image


A Look at AI Image Generation | On Landscape

The Rundown: Hugging Face's Latent Navigation space lets you generate smooth transitions between AI-generated images using CLIP text embeddings and Flux.1 schnell.

Step-by-step:

  1. Visit Latent Navigation space.
  2. Enter a detailed image description in the "Prompt" field (e.g., "a golden retriever in the park")
  3. Set transition directions: "1st direction to steer" (e.g., "winter") and "2nd direction to steer" (e.g., "summer")
  4. Adjust the "Strength" and other settings to fine-tune your transition
  5. Click "Generate directions" to create your AI image transition

Pro tip: Experiment with the "Advanced options" for more control over your transitions
