Hello folks, here’s what we have today;

PICKS

1. New post from Garrett (who creates tutorials for Ben’s Bites) on how AI will unlock AR-enabled work⁴⁷⁴ for a broad spectrum of workers.

2. Stability AI has released Stable Audio Open⁶⁵², a free text-to-audio model for generating sound effects and production elements. Unlike its commercial counterpart, Stable Audio, this open-source model focuses on shorter audio samples and is ideal for drum beats, instrument riffs, and ambient sounds.

3. Apple and OpenAI’s unlikely deal²³³ - While Apple thinks its own AI is pretty smart for handling things like voice memos and photo editing, Siri is not on the cool kids’ table yet. So, they struck a deal with OpenAI, who apparently offered them a sweeter deal than Google. Reports say the duo will announce their partnership at WWDC.

4. OpenAI outlines its security measures¹⁹⁸ for protecting its advanced AI research infrastructure. This includes a multi-layered approach using Azure, Kubernetes, and identity management systems. Model weights are also safeguarded through multi-party approvals, private links, and egress controls.
