Reading time: 3 minutes

šŸ“° News

šŸ—£ļø Meta Voicebox

Meta just announced Voicebox, the first generative AI speech model that ā€˜can do tasks it wasnā€™t specifically trained onā€™. Pretty much, you can upload a sample of your voice and have it output your voice in a number of completely different languages! Mark Zuckerberg uploaded an example of him on Instagram speaking English and outputting his voice in perfect Portuguese. Insane.

You can play around with some speech models on the following demo website.

At this point, there really should be a ā€˜Meta Open Sourceā€™ section of the newsletter.

šŸ˜’ Google is slacking

Remember when I talked about Bard, Googleā€™s answer to ChatGPT? Well, it still hasnā€™t been released in Canada. Google has really been dropping the ball recentlyā€¦

šŸš€ GPT Engineer is picking up steam

The hottest new tool just hit 16k stars on GitHub.

GPT Engineer is an AI agent that can code anything you want it to. As a result, with the right feedback, you can finish a project in minutes.

If youā€™re not on the agent train yet, better get started ASAP; the GitHub repo is linked below.

šŸ“ Research Highlight

Hugging Face just announced an update to OpenLLaMA with a 13B model trained on 1 trillion tokens. If you want to install it yourself, follow the steps in the code below, or visit this link.

 šŸŽØ AI Image(s) of the Day

Midjourney keeps getting better and better. Here are some non-car products from Lamborghini:

The Lamborghini Bullet Train

The Lamborghini Blender ā€”for high octane smoothies

The Lamborghini Tractor. Fun fact: Lamborghini was originally a tractor company! When the owner was unsatisfied with his Ferrari, he made a competitor company out of spite. In an alternate reality where they still made tractors, maybe it would look like this?

Thatā€™s all for today, thanks for reading!
