It is now official what many have suspected for a longer time: Claude 3 Opus by Anthropic is surpassing GPT-4-1106 (=Turbo) on the Chatbot Leaderboard by Hugging Face.

I use Opus 99% of the time, as it has great factual knowledge and almost never hallucinates.

In addition, Amazon announced an additional $2.75 billion investment in Anthropic on top of its initial $1.25 billion, making it its largest outside investment in history.

Soon: Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI has also announced the launch of Grok-1.5, the advanced AI model featuring enhanced reasoning abilities and a 128,000 token context length.

Lastly, if you have worked with ChatGPT, you know it overuses words like 'delve' or 'embark'. (You will find it in my past writing as well. Guilty!)

Interesting: Look below at how often the word 'delve' is used in papers on PubMed (2023 was the first full year of ChatGPT).

OpenAI has built Voice Engine to generate custom voices, and it is crazy good.

Today, speaking to ChatGPT (via the phone) works quite well. They have made it faster, and ChatGPT understands pretty much everything you say.

Compared to Pi by Inflection AI (most of the team will join Microsoft with Mustafa Suleyman), ChatGPT's voice is slightly faster in responding but less versatile.

When I ask ChatGPT to speak in English with a Bavarian accent, it refuses, while Pi tries and succeeds to a degree.

OpenAI's new Voice Engine, which is not yet part of ChatGPT, is very powerful.

Voice Engine is already in limited release. OpenAI has shared a couple of stories with use cases and demo voices that are on par with humans speaking/reading out loud:

Providing reading assistance

Ed-company Age of Learning uses Voice Engine to generate pre-scripted voice-over content and real-time, personalized student interactions.

Translating content

HeyGen hosts human-like avatars for diverse content, e.g. presentations. It uses Voice Engine for video translation, reaching a global audience and preserving the native accent of the original storytelling pl speaker.

Reaching global communities

Dimagi develops tools for community health workers, offering services like breastfeeding counseling. Dimagi employs Voice Engine to offer interactive, multilingual feedback to community health workers, supporting languages from Swahili to Sheng.

Supporting people who are non-verbal 

Livox's app enhances Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) devices with unique, natural voices in multiple languages. This allows nonverbal individuals to communicate in a voice that consistently represents them across languages.

Helping patients recover their voice

The Norman Prince Neurosciences Institute at Lifespan uses Voice Engine to restore speech in patients with oncologic or neurologic impairments. Doctors restored a young patient's voice using a brief audio sample from a school project video.

It is vendor-free.

Learn from other experts and peers and build a practical plan for your business to get the most out of GenAI.

So thrilled to share the stage with Alex Genov, Alexandra Foster, David Hicks, Andrei Ungureanu, and others on April 25th at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea, London.

→ Let me know your thoughts in the comments when you read on one hand that OpenAI’s Voice Engine enables people to speak again or cross languages, but then, on the other hand, people lose their jobs.

The conversation touches upon GenAI, AGI, Robots, and other topics from my book. Which btw. was this week on the 6th position of the AI bestselling books on Amazon. (I appreciate all the support.)
