Microsoft’s Kosmos-1 Claims to Solve IQ Tests and OpenAI Introduces ChatGPT and Whisper APIs

OpenAI opened APIs for ChatGPT and Whisper, offering developers lower-cost access to conversational AI and speech recognition, while Meta and YouTube announced plans to expand generative AI features across messaging, image, video, and creator tools. Research updates included Microsoft’s Kosmos-1 multimodal language model, trained on web-scale text and image data and evaluated on zero-shot, few-shot, and multimodal reasoning tasks; work warning that retrieval and API-enabled language models introduce new attack vectors; and the LLM-Augmenter system, which uses external task-specific knowledge to reduce hallucinations in black-box models. The update also highlighted a tutorial on deploying YOLOv8 object detection models with Lightning, community contributions that fixed cloud checkpointing, gradient, and CUDA documentation issues, and Lightning AI’s efforts to grow its Discord community and encourage beginner open-source contributions.
