Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in his latest conversation with famous podcast host Lex Fridman that the "closed source" behavior of the artificial intelligence startup OpenAI is not a desirable approach. Therefore, Musk's first artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, will adopt an open source policy. (Global Market Report)

OpenAI has unveiled GPT-4 Turbo, a more powerful and cost-effective successor to GPT-4 that offers enhanced context processing and the flexibility for fine-tuning to meet user requirements. The update is available in two versions, one for text and another that processes images, with prices as low as $0.01 per 1,000 text tokens and $0.03 per 1,000 image tokens. Fine-tuning involves feeding a model extensive custom data to learn specific behaviors, transforming large generic models like GPT-4 into specialized tools for niche tasks without building an entirely new model. This innovation marks a significant shift in AI technology, with potential impacts spanning from customer support to content creation.

According to Jinse Finance, OpenAI, the manufacturer of ChatGPT, is expected to announce product improvements at its first developer conference next Monday, making its AI models cheaper and more powerful. The company's CEO, Altman, promised attendees that they will launch "some great new things." The one-day event will be held in a desolate area near San Francisco City Hall and is expected to attract hundreds of developers from around the world. In addition to announcing new products, the company may also fine-tune the capabilities of its advanced AI model, GPT-4. Sources familiar with Altman's thinking say that making OpenAI an essential part of other companies' application development is one of its most important strategic goals.

OpenAI has quietly rolled out an update to a limited number of paying subscribers to ChatGPT Plus that allows users to upload PDFs, documents, and other file types to the chatbot and ask ChatGPT questions about them. This update has sparked alarm online, with some saying it will put companies built around using generative AI to read documents out of business. However, some AI developers are not ready to bend the knee to OpenAI's AI behemoth and are continuing to develop their own AI PDF readers. The long-term vision for these developers is to develop tools that make people wiser and more productive as AI automates mundane processes and frees people to be more creative.

OpenAI stated that they are building a new preparation team to evaluate, anticipate, and protect against the many risks that may arise from current large language models to general artificial intelligence (AGI) and other highly capable artificial intelligence. These risks include personalized persuasion, overall network security, and even some factors that threaten human survival.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told employees this week that the company's annual revenue has reached $1.3 billion. This means that the company's monthly revenue exceeds $100 million, a 30% increase from this summer.
