Happy Friday. I have returned from the leave and I am still dealing with everything I missed. Artificial intelligence researchers who are transporting jobs such as the American Professional League deals are now apparently covered.
Before I go into this week’s release, I would like to be sure Aravind Srinivas on Decoder this week. It is a good deep diving on the main topic in the newsletter today. Continue reading to get a scoop on Substack and more of this week in artificial intelligence news.
From Chatbots to browsers
To date, when most people think about the modern artificial intelligence boom, they think about Chatbot like Chatgpt. Now, it is increasingly clear that the web browser is the place where the next stage of artificial intelligence is formed.
The reason is simple: Chatbots do not have today to reach your online life like your browser. This level of context – read and write access to your e -mail, your bank account, etc. – is required if artificial intelligence will become an actually exploding tool and do things for you.
Two modern versions of the product indicate this direction. The first is Openai’s Chatgpt AgentAnd, which uses a basic browser to browse the web on your behalf. The second is the comet, a Desktop browser This takes a step forward by allowing large linguistic sites to reach registered sites and complete tasks on your behalf. (Openai is Rumor To plan its full browser.)
Chatgpt or Comet agent does not reliably operate at the present time, and currently reach expensive subscription levels due to the high account costs required to operate the thinking models that require them. Perhaps it is more frustrated, both producers claim that they cannot, not only in marketing materials, but in the actual product experience.
Agent Chatgpt is a reading browser experience only-it is not possible to access a registered site like the Compet- and this is severely limited to its benefit. It is also very slow. my colleague Hayden Field He was asked to find a specific type of lamp on etsyChatgpt agent took 50 minutes to return with the response. He also failed to add elements to its ETSY cart, although the claim it did.
Although the comet is not slowly, she faced many experiences with her claiming that she had completed the tasks that she had not, or stated that she could do something, just tell me immediately that it is not yet possible to submit an application. Its Sidecar interface, which puts an Amnesty International assistant on the right of the web page, is excellent in reading tasks only, such as summarizing a web page or searching for something specific I am looking for. But as I said, CEO of confusion Aravind Srinivas on Decoder this weekThe general experience is very fragile.
It is easy to be sarcastically and think that the current state of products like Comet is the best Amnesty International that you can do in completing the tasks on the web. Or you can take a look at the past few years of progress in the industry and make the bet that the direction line will continue.
During our conversation this week, Srinivas told me that “he is betting on progress in thinking models to reach us.” Openai has built a specially dedicated thinking model for the ChatgPt agent that was trained on more complex and multi -step tasks. (The model does not have a general name and is not available via the application programming interface.)
Even with many restrictions and errors today, the use of the comet for only a few days convinced me that the prevailing Chatbot interface will merge with the browser. It already seems to go back just to claim the Chatbot group in exchange for interacting with a Chatgpt -like experience that you can see any website I am looking for. Certainly, independent chat does not disappear, especially on smartphones, but the browser is what will open Amnesty International, which actually appears as an agent.
- What could have been for Speensque: Before raising the news platform 100 million dollars tour I announced this week, two sources told me that the Vice -founder Shin Smith He approached the founders of Presscack about getting the company. It is not clear to what extent the conversations have advanced, although Smith also discussed the idea with potential financial supporters. Badiac’s leadership refused to take care of the seizure, but he suggested that he be able to invest in the tour that he just closed. It is not clear if he had done so. Smith did not respond, and you did not seek a child to comment.
- The end of the reverse reverse? While I was on vacation, it was interesting to monitor Severe backlash To Windsurf/Google Reverse AcciHire. This style, where the founders of AI’s startup company are loud in the arms of large technology and left the rest of their team to pick up the pieces, is Nothing new. It is an unfortunate secondary product to anti -monopoly auditing on Big Tech, which seems to have yet to have discovered how to get what he wants by leaving a crust from a startup and invites its payments “licensing fees”. But looking at how awareness Messages Save the remaining Windsurf team (“Each one employee is treated with respect and takes care of this deal”), I wonder whether the next AI’s start starting founder will think twice before his team leaves behind.
- The new Mira MURATI of artificial intelligence will have an institutional angle. I feel confident in this expectation after vision One of its financial supporters She is for her new laboratory, thinking machines. Do not invest Servicenow and Cisco in the ChatGPT competitor. Looking at the level of talents that have been able to collect, the industry will pay close attention to any product of the “multimedia” Amnesty International launches the team in the coming months. Is there a room for another anthropologist to Openai? We are about to know that.
- Artificial intelligence researchers cannot obtain visas for us. Neurolps, the main AI Research Conference, witnessed this high request to attend this year in San Diego that they have A second site has been added In Mexico to accommodate approximately 500 others. The conference’s announcement stipulates that there are “difficulties in obtaining travel visas” for the attendees who want to attend the main American event. Yixes.
Some of the functional moves worth noting
- The new SuperInteigence of Zuckerberg has become much larger. Witness this week Add From Openai Jason Wei and Hyung Chung wonThis means that Mita has now stolen 5 from Openai’s 21 “Basic shareholders” To o1. August Odina and New MaxwellFounders participating to start ADEPT AI, which has acquired Amazon, the opposite to start the AGI laboratory, also join, along with Mark Lee and Tom Gunter From Apple. Meanwhile, the entire team is behind the sound of Ai Startup Playai Join (Some companies are still small enough to explicitly acquire large technology). And in what should be a significant sign for everyone in the broader AI group, which is currently subject to DOGE interviews with Alexander Wang New team, Vice President of the Product Conor Hayes I moved To run topics.
