In a world where AI advancements occur at breakneck speed, it's crucial to stay informed. That's where this digest comes in. Here, we distill the most significant happenings from the AI landscape into 3 short insights, share 2 actionable tips you can start applying today, and leave you with 1 thought-provoking question to ponder.

The ultimate goal? To keep you at the forefront of AI, to share the insights and experiences I've gathered along the way, and to foster a sense of curiosity and exploration.

Let's dive in.

3 Insights

I. Larger Contexts, Greater Possibilities

Recent breakthroughs in context sizes for language models, like Anthropic's 100k context model, GPT-4's 32k context window in beta, have unlocked a world of new capabilities.

100k tokens is equal to approximately 75,000 words! Meaning you can now analyze and write documents coherently the size of books.

With the ability to tackle more complex tasks and deliver more accurate results, these models are pushing the boundaries of AI.

But remember, bigger contexts come with processing speed trade-offs - there's no magic bullet solution in AI.

II. Open-Source AI Revolution

The rise of open-source AI projects is shaking the foundations of the AI world, challenging the dominance of giants like Google and OpenAI.

A leaked Google memo suggests that joining the open-source movement and owning the platform might be the way forward, much like Chrome and Android.

And with OpenAI announcing its open-source model plans, the future of AI is looking more collaborative and competitive than ever.

III. Ecosystems Empower Language Models

As ecosystems evolve around fine-tuning, hosting, and deploying large language models, leveraging these powerful tools for various applications has become easier than ever.

When building a business around language models, focus on the unique problems you solve and the value you provide.

Embracing these AI ecosystems ensures your business stays ahead. As new models emerge, you'll effortlessly tap into their power, constantly enhancing your solutions and delivering unbeatable value to your customers.

2 Actionable Tips

I. Refine Your Prompts for Better Results

Improve your prompts for language models with this simple technique:

First, describe the problem; then, ask the model to refine the problem, add missing information, and structure it into a question.

This approach can lead to improved output and clarity from language models and can be applied to various tasks, such as developing research questions, troubleshooting technical problems, or brainstorming creative ideas.

II. Challenge Your Limits with ChatGPT

Consider ChatGPT not only as a tool but also as a partner in exploration and learning.

Use it to venture into domains you've previously considered beyond your grasp. Want to write an article on a complex scientific topic? Or perhaps you're intrigued by a new programming language but don't know where to start?

Engage ChatGPT, ask questions, draft outlines, write code, and refine your understanding. Use it as a springboard for your learning and creativity, and to augment your capabilities.

Reflect on your experiences, observe the new tasks you've achieved and the skills you've gained.

This method not only broadens your knowledge and skillset but also reshapes your understanding of the role AI can play in personal and professional growth.
