CNET reports that on March 23, OpenAI announced that it will be slowly introducing plugins for ChatGPT.
Though not a perfect analogy,
plugins can be 'eyes and ears' for language models, giving them access
to information that is too recent,
too personal, or too specific to be included in the training data, Via OpenAI's website.
CNET reports that the first batch
of plugins help ChatGPT to access
"new sources of live data" on the internet.
.
For example, ChatGPT can now interact with third-party sources like Expedia, Kayak and Instacart.
Previously, ChatGPT could only use its training data.
However, research indicates that giving a chatbot access to the web can be risky.
For example, it may quote unreliable sources or , "increase safety challenges by taking harmful or unintended actions, increasing the capabilities of bad actors who would defraud, mislead, or abuse others," OpenAI says.
To combat these risks, OpenAI has implemented safeguards and restricted access to a limited number of users and developers to begin with.
.
Plugins are very experimental still but we think there's something great in this direction.
It's been a heavily requested feature, Sam Altman, OpenAI co-founder, via Twitter
Amazon to Invest , in OpenAI Rival Anthropic.
On Sept. 25, Amazon announced
that it will invest as much as $4 billion
into the AI startup, The Verge reports. .
Anthropic was founded by siblings and former OpenAI employees Dario and Daniela Amodei. .
The company is "best known for its
Claude chatbot," The Verge reports.
While the deal hardly holds a candle to the
$13 billion that Microsoft has put into OpenAI so far, .
it is significant because it positions
Amazon within the emerging AI race.
Anthropic's chatbot operates in a similar manor as ChatGPT and Bard, but the
company claims it is safer and more reliable.
Anthropic's chatbot operates in a similar manor as ChatGPT and Bard, but the
company claims it is safer and more reliable.
This is reportedly due to Claude's
ability to autonomously revise responses instead of depending on humans.
The chatbot also has the ability to interpret larger prompts, which is helpful when examining longer documents.
The deal will grant Amazon minority ownership of Anthropic. .
The company's technology will
be incorporated into various
Amazon products and applications. .
Google also has a 10% stake in the company,
which will not be affected by the deal with Amazon.
Anthropic intends to pursue its partnerships with both companies, independent of each other, The Verge reports.
