Copilot for Microsoft 365 subscribers get priority access to OpenAI's GPT-4 Turbo
If you have a M365 Copilot Pro license you are getting access to Open AI’s latest most advanced model, GPT 4 Turbo.
Currently this is one of the best ways to get access to GPT 4 Turbo (a more advanced version of GPT 4). Open AI only allows up to GPT 4 via a Plus or Teams subscription. The turbo model is available via API.
GPT 4 Turbo is trained on data as of December of 2023 vs GPT 4 which only has access through April 2023. New advances to the model also include being able to submit up to 300 pages of text in a single prompt. Having access to turbo also includes the latest text to image technology via DALL-E 3.
On top of that, GPT 4 Turbo does not store, save, or train any data that is input by a user.
Apple uses ReALM technology to let AI access screen context
Apple has now come up with a way for AI to access the context of a screen using reference resolution as language modeling. How it works is the ReALM model parses the screen automatically and provides a language model, such as GPT 4, with the context to inform its response. By using ReALM technology, it is said to increase the quality of outputs by at least 5%.
Despite the excitement of AI having the ability to have the context of a situation without having to manually describe it in detail, researchers say that automatic parsing still has its drawbacks due to latency and computing constraints.
Even through Apple is not currently deploying the latest models and products don’t count them out of the AI race. As said before, Apple is usually the last to the party but the coolest kid there.
Stargate 2028
Microsoft and Open AI are literally building a $100 billion supercomputer. From a more realistic standpoint, they are in collaboration to build a data center that will power AI operations into 2030. The structure is said to take up several hundred acres of land and pull 5 gigawatts of power.
The project is said to be broken down into 5 phases with the completion of the final phase resulting in the creation of Stargate over the next 5-6 years.
