Hello folks, here’s what we have today;

 Our picks 

1/

Geospatial AI models are something that rarely garners much attention over here, so this is pretty cool. IBM is open-sourcing their geospatial foundation AI model⁸⁵⁵, built with NASA’s satellite data, to Hugging Face. Named watsonx.ai⁶⁴¹, this is a huge move towards global, open collaboration on innovations in climate and Earth science. It could be utilised for things like tracking deforestation, predicting crop yields, and monitoring greenhouse gases.

2/

Time to talk about AI and weapons. The US Air Force has managed to develop an AI agent⁶⁹³ that has proven the ability to carry out unmanned aerial combat tasks. Developed by the Autonomous Air Combat Operations (AACO) team, it’s an AI agent “solving a tactically relevant challenge problem during airborne operations.” Whether you are for or against AI in this context, this shows a pretty impressive feat of technological progress.

3/

A bunch of updates from Open AI⁸⁹⁶ making ChatGPT easier to use.

1) GPT-4 by default and staying logged in.
2) Uploading multiple files in Code Interpretor
3) Prompt examples and suggested replies.
4) Keyboard shortcuts for using ChatGPT.
