Let’s do some AI features.
OpenAI has announced that ChatGPT users can now access recent information and live online sources through a browsing feature. Initially available to Enterprise and Plus users, the feature will be expanded to all ChatGPT users in the future. OpenAI had previously launched a beta version of the browsing capability but turned it off due to negative user feedback. The browsing feature is connected to Microsoft’s search engine, Bing.
Cloudflare is launching a new collection of AI tools to help customers build, deploy, and run AI models at the network edge. The offerings include Workers AI, which allows customers to access nearby GPUs on a pay-as-you-go basis, Vectorize for storing vector embeddings, and AI Gateway for managing AI app costs. The new suite already has partnerships with AI startups Hugging Face and Databricks. AI Gateway offers observability features and cost-reduction capabilities such as caching and rate limiting.
IBM announced the availability of the Watsonx Granite model series, providing generative AI models for businesses to build and scale AI applications. IBM also ensures intellectual property protections for its Watsonx models and publishes details of its training data sets for transparency. The models are designed to help businesses with retrieval augmented generation, summarization, and insight extraction and classification. IBM’s foundation models have been trained on business-relevant datasets and filtered for objectionable content. The company also offers contractual protections for its AI models, allowing clients to develop AI applications using their own data alongside IBM foundation models.
Atera, in an interview in VentureBeat, says it is moving beyond AIOps with its AI-powered IT (AIT) platform. By integrating generative AI, Atera’s platform offers automated capabilities to help IT teams solve issues more rapidly. The combination of generative AI and autopilot capabilities allows Atera to operate IT using AI, increasing efficiency and reducing resolution times.
Why do we care?
The trend is infusing AI into more products and then expanding those capabilities. There’s a lot here, from being baked into providers’ tools to end-customer tools to the network infrastructure. Your tactical update for the day.
