Good morning! We have some exciting news from the world of Artificial Intelligence to share with you today.

Midjourney V7: Enhanced Image Quality and Precision

Key Features:

• Improved image renderings of hands and bodies.
• New tools like:
  • “Vary”
  • “Upscale”
  • Enhanced image preview

A noteworthy addition is the experimental “–exp” parameter for adjusting aesthetics, which may impact prompt precision. This model opens up new possibilities for creative control and customization.

Meta’s AI Strategy: Voice Data Collection and Automation

Meta is diving deeper into voice data collection and automation for advertisements.

Innovations Include:

• Introduction of smart glasses that record user voices.
• Option for users to opt out (must disable voice control or manually remove recordings).

CEO Mark Zuckerberg announces a new subscription tier for their AI app, furthering automation in ad production and targeting. This development sparks fresh discussions regarding privacy and brand safety.

DeepSeek’s Next AI Play: Prover-V2

Get a sneak peek at Prover-V2, an open-source AI designed for:

• Theorem proving
• Informal mathematical reasoning

Released quietly on Hugging Face, it achieves an impressive 89% accuracy on the MiniF2F benchmark, aiming to enhance mathematical precision with innovative architecture.

Rime’s New Text-to-Speech Model: Arcana

Arcana captures the nuances of real human speech through:

• Incorporation of laughter, accents, and breathing

This versatile model, available via an application programming interface, is gaining traction for its uncanny realism.

AI’s Impact on Workloads

A recent study suggests that while AI saves time in various tasks, it also creates new demands and workloads that can offset these gains. As AI technology evolves, the balance between efficiency and increased work could significantly impact employment across many sectors.
