Key Points

• Scores 82% on MMLU, outperforming GPT-3.5 Turbo and other small models in various benchmarks.

• Supports 128K tokens with up to 16K output tokens per request.

• Currently supports text and vision, with future updates for image, video, and audio inputs and outputs.

• Improved tokenizer enhances cost-effectiveness for non-English text handling.

• Suitable for applications involving multiple model calls, large context volumes, or real-time text interactions.

• Enables building applications that fetch data or perform actions with external systems.

• Filters out harmful content and uses reinforcement learning with human feedback.

GPT-4o Mini is a groundbreaking model that combines affordability with powerful performance, making it ideal for a wide range of AI applications. Available in the Assistants API, Chat Completions API, and Batch API, GPT-4o Mini is set to become a key tool for developers and businesses looking to leverage AI technology effectively.

Google Set to Unveil New Pixel 9 Series and Advanced AI Features

Google has announced its upcoming hardware event for August 13, where it will debut the new Pixel 9 series ahead of Apple's iPhone 16 launch. The event will showcase the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Fold, all built for the "Gemini era" with advanced AI features. The devices will feature Google's latest in-house chip, the Tensor G4, and run on Android 15. This early reveal marks a strategic move to generate excitement and position the Pixel line as a formidable competitor in the smartphone market, particularly against Samsung and Apple.

Quick Takes

• Meta Suspends AI Assistant Use in Brazil Amid Data Privacy Concerns: Meta has halted its AI assistant services in Brazil following a ban by the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD), which prohibits the company from using personal data for AI training in the country. This suspension, coupled with a daily fine for non-compliance, impacts Meta’s expansion plans in Brazil, a significant market for its AI products.

• AI Outperforms Doctors in Prostate Cancer Detection: A recent UCLA study revealed that an AI tool identified prostate cancer with 84% accuracy, surpassing the 67% accuracy of human doctors. The AI, developed by Avenda Health, uses advanced algorithms to create detailed cancer maps, potentially leading to more precise diagnoses and personalized treatments.

• Wineries Use AI to Tackle Climate Change and Consumer Preferences: Amid rising global temperatures, wineries like Treasury Wine Estates are employing AI to model weather scenarios, improve irrigation, and enhance fermentation processes. The technology helps these businesses adapt to climate challenges while also refining product chemistry to meet evolving consumer tastes.
