CLOSING UPDATES

SoftBank’s AI acquisition

SoftBank has acquired the UK-based AI chipmaker Graphcore. The company had developed a new type of processor called an "intelligence processing unit" (IPU) that was designed specifically for AI workloads, positioning it as a potential rival to Nvidia's GPUs.

Graphcore has raised around $700 million since its inception in 2016, reaching a valuation just shy of $3 billion in late 2020.

OpenAI’s AI progress

OpenAI has developed an internal scale to track the progress of its models toward achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). The scale ranges from Level 1 to Level 5, with today's chatbots like ChatGPT currently at Level 1.

Level 2 is defined as a system that can solve basic problems at the level of a person with a PhD, while Level 3 refers to AI agents capable of taking actions on a user's behalf. Level 4 involves AI that can create new innovations, and Level 5 is an AI that can perform the work of entire organizations of people.

Understands terrible handwriting

Microsoft's new Copilot AI feature in OneNote can now understand and analyze handwritten notes.

This allows OneNote users to write notes by hand using a stylus and then have Copilot summarize the notes, answer questions about them, or even generate to-do lists based on handwritten content.

That’s all.

Stay curious, leaders!
