QUICK BITES

AI's going to the lab, folks! OpenAI and Los Alamos National Lab²⁶⁰ are joining forces to see how AI can help scientists without getting in their way.

What's going on here?

OpenAI and Los Alamos are testing how AI models like GPT-4o can assist in real lab work.

What does this mean?

They're putting AI through its paces in actual lab settings. Think genetic modification, growing and separating cells, and other sciency stuff. The goal? Figure out if AI can make both seasoned pros and newbies better at tricky bio tasks.

They're testing how the voice and vision capabilities of models like GPT-4o can help researchers troubleshoot experiments in real-time. They're also doing "biological safety evaluations" to make sure multimodal LLM usage in labs is not dangerous.

Why should I care?

This could be huge for speeding up scientific breakthroughs. If AI can make lab work easier and more accurate, we might see faster progress in medicine, biotech, and more.

But it's also about keeping things safe as AI gets smarter. The government wants to make sure we understand what these models can do before they're let loose in sensitive research areas.

Stability AI just dropped some sweet new tricks³⁰⁰ for their Stable Assistant chatbot. Now you can swap objects in images and even get AI to make you custom tunes. It's like Photoshop and a music studio had an AI baby.

What is going on here?

Stability AI added Search & Replace and music generation to their Stable Assistant⁹⁶ chatbot.

What does this mean?

Did you even know that Stability AI has an assistant that can generate images, video and audio, all in one place? Well now do. Stability has released a few updates to this assistant making it worthwhile for your money.

• Stable Audio can cook up 3-minute instrumentals. No more royalty-free elevator music for your vlogs.

• Search & Replace lets you swap out objects in your pics. Want that dog to be a cat? Boom, done.
