AI technology is advancing at lightning speed, and we’re here to break down the latest updates so you know what’s worth trying out! From OpenAI and ChatGPT’s new domain to Google’s AI-powered search and a real-time generative game engine, here are the hottest releases in the AI world this week.
1. ChatGPT’s New Shortcut Domain
OpenAI recently made accessing ChatGPT easier by purchasing the domain chat.com. Now, simply typing “chat.com” redirects you directly to ChatGPT! This makes finding and using ChatGPT’s advanced search and productivity tools faster than ever.
2. Anthropic’s Major Updates: Visual PDF Understanding and More
Anthropic has rolled out several exciting new features that make its AI, Claude, even more capable:
- Visual PDF Support: Now, Claude can analyze not only the text in PDFs but also visuals like graphs and images. This is especially useful for scientific research, where data visuals are crucial. Users can activate this feature under “Visual PDFs” and even use it in apps via the API.
- Claude 3.5: The updated version is said to be even better than OpenAI’s GPT-4 but comes at a higher cost. Though it’s not yet on the web interface, developers can access it through the API, which makes up 85% of Anthropic’s revenue.
- Mobile App Voice Input: You can now speak to Claude via the mobile app, which simplifies complex queries and helps you dive into conversations faster. Voice input (without voice output) is a handy new addition to many users’ experience.
3. ChatGPT’s Search Test Results Are In
ChatGPT has taken a bold step into search, potentially giving Google some serious competition. Users have found the quality of ChatGPT’s search responses surprisingly high. The system can answer complex questions and even provide conversions (like currency or weather updates) directly. The only downside? It’s still slower than Google’s near-instant response times. But over time, ChatGPT’s search capabilities are expected to become even more tailored to your needs.
4. Generative Gaming: The Future of Digital Worlds?
One of the most exciting breakthroughs this week is a fully generative game engine—a version of Minecraft that doesn’t run on pre-set code but is generated in real-time as you play. Available to try now at Oasis.dcard.doai, this browser-based experience is one of the first of its kind. Although it’s still simpler than the traditional Minecraft game, it showcases how games in the future could adapt and evolve uniquely with each interaction.
5. Runway’s Advanced Camera Control for AI Video
Runway’s latest update gives creators control over camera movements like never before. With Runway’s Gen-3 Turbo, you can set camera angles, motion, and even perform cinematic effects like orbiting around a subject. This level of control lets users make complex shots—like a time-lapse with camera movement—that would be nearly impossible in real life.
6. Google’s “Learn About” Tool for Skill Development
Learning new skills just got a lot easier with Google’s “Learn About” tool, an AI-powered learning assistant designed to help you build custom learning plans based on your interests. Although currently limited to the U.S., this tool combines explanations, examples, and interactive tests to help users grasp new topics with ease. It could be the perfect sidekick for anyone looking to pick up new skills quickly!
7. ElevenLabs’ New Twitter Voice Feature
Ever wondered what your Twitter feed would sound like as a voice? ElevenLabs now lets you create a custom AI voice avatar from your Twitter profile. It generates voice samples based on your tweets and even animates your profile picture, adding a fun new dimension to social media content. You don’t need to log in to try it out—just enter your handle and see what it generates!
What’s Next?
AI is moving faster than ever, and each week brings groundbreaking tools and possibilities. Whether you’re curious about real-time generative games, trying out advanced video controls, or discovering new ways to learn, there’s a world of AI waiting for you to explore.
