Cloudflare, the leading content delivery network and cloud security platform, wants to make AI accessible to developers.

While developers can use JavaScript to write AI inference code and deploy it to Cloudflare’s edge network, it is possible to invoke the models through a simple REST API using any language. This makes it easy to infuse generative AI into web, desktop and mobile applications that run in diverse environments.

In September 2023, Workers AI was initially launched with inference capabilities in seven cities. However, Cloudflare’s ambitious goal was to support Workers AI inference in 100 cities by the end of the year, with near-ubiquitous coverage by the end of 2024.

Nvidia is delaying a new artificial intelligence chip for China that has been designed to comply with U.S. export restrictions, according to Reuters.

Nvidia shares closed down about 1.9% after a shortened trading day in the U.S.

Reuters, citing two sources familiar with the matter, reported that Nvidia told Chinese customers that it is delaying the launch of an AI chip that is designed to comply with U.S. export rules until the first quarter of next year.

The year began with the news of an AI system flying a F-16 fighter jet for over 17 hours. That a computer system can fly a tactical aircraft without any human intervention speaks volumes about how far the technology has come today.

Data is the new soil, and in this fertile new ground, MIT researchers are planting more than just pixels. By using synthetic images to train machine learning models, a team of scientists recently surpassed results obtained from traditional “real-image” training methods.

StableRep: The New Approach

At the core of the approach is a system called StableRep, which doesn’t just use any synthetic images; it generates them through ultra-popular text-to-image models like Stable Diffusion. It’s like creating worlds with words.

Some OpenAI clients are seeking alternatives since the drama unfolded with the ousting of CEO Sam Altman.

As the dust still settles on OpenAI’s latest drama, a letter has surfaced from several staff researchers citing concerns about an AI superintelligence model under development that could potentially pose a threat to humanity, according to those close to the source. The previously undisclosed letter is understood to be the real reason behind why Sam Altman was fired from the company.

The model, known internally as Project Q*, could represent a major breakthrough in the company’s pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI) – a highly autonomous branch of AI superintelligence capable of cumulative learning and outperforming humans in most tasks. And you were worried about ChatGPT taking all our jobs?

With Sam Altman now firmly back at the company and a new OpenAI board in place, here are all of the details of Project Q*, as well as the potential implications of AGI in the bigger picture.

On Tuesday, Stability AI released Stable Video Diffusion. The first implementation for private users is now available.

The makers of the Stable Diffusion tool “ComfyUI” have added support for Stable AI’s Stable Video Diffusion models in a new update. ComfyUI is a graphical user interface for Stable Diffusion, using a graph/node interface that allows users to build complex workflows. It is an alternative to other interfaces such as AUTOMATIC1111.

According to the developers, the update can be used to create videos at 1,024 × 576 resolution with a length of 25 frames on the 7-year-old Nvidia GTX 1,080 with 8 gigabytes of VRAM. AMD users can also use the generative video AI with ComfyUI on an AMD 6,800 XT running ROCm on Linux. It takes about 3 minutes to create a video.
