ChatGPT, You Got Some Competition

🚀 Anthropic Launches Premium AI Chatbot Subscription

Overview

Anthropic, an AI startup founded by ex-OpenAI employees, has unveiled a new premium subscription service called "Claude Pro" for their AI chatbot, Claude 2. For around $20 per month, subscribers can access more features and benefits, elevating their utilization of the AI assistant.

Key Points

• Claude Pro's subscription, similar in price to OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus, allows subscribers more usage, greater ability to send messages, priority access during high-traffic periods, and early access to new features.

• A Claude 2 user with a Claude Pro subscription can send at least 100 messages every eight hours, double the limit imposed on ChatGPT Plus subscribers.

Why It Matters

The launch of Anthropic's premium AI chatbot service, 'Claude Pro', could potentially reshape the AI assistance space, especially given its competitive edge over OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus. Increased message limits and other user-centered features may attract a significant user base, boosting Anthropic's status. Also, revenue from products like Claude Pro supports the company's ambitious plans to continue its AI development, which could lead to more advanced AI tools in the future.

eBay Turns to AI

🛍️ eBay Unveils AI Tool for Enhanced Product Listings

Overview

eBay has launched an AI-driven tool to help sellers create comprehensive product listings using just a photo. The tool uses the uploaded pictures to generate crucial information such as the product title, description, and item category among other details. Currently, the feature is only accessible on the iOS app, with an Android version expected in the future.

Key Points

• The AI tool is designed to support sellers, particularly newcomers, by accelerating the product listing process.

• The tool can generate product titles, descriptions, categories, and other details from a single uploaded photo.

• eBay has previously utilized generative AI to offer a trimmed-down tool that created product descriptions from seller-provided details.

Why It Matters

This AI tool could significantly streamline the selling process on eBay, especially benefiting new merchants. The move marks an increase in eBay's commitment to AI tools for listing accuracy and efficiency. However, the tool's practical efficacy remains to be tested, given seller concerns over the quality of text generated by the previous version.

🍎 Apple Wants To Give Siri An AI Upgrade

Overview

Apple is significantly investing in the development of generative AI to upgrade Siri's functionalities. The technology giant allegedly spends millions daily on research to enhance its voice assistant's ability to conduct complex tasks using natural language. Plans are underway to integrate large-language models (LLMs) despite the attendant challenges of size and complexity.

Key Points

• Apple is recruiting more engineers to work on generative AI projects while maintaining massive funding for the development and training of advanced LLMs.

• Several teams within Apple are focusing on different AI modeling projects including language and image models, visual intelligence, and multimodal AI.

• Apple plans to integrate LLMs into Siri, an upgrade expected to automate complex tasks and rival similar advancements by Google and OpenAI.

Why It Matters

Apple's investment in generative AI underscores a significant shift toward more advanced and interactive AI technology in consumer electronics. The desired integration of LLMs into Siri presents an approach to empower users with task automation through natural language. Regardless, it stirs privacy and performance concerns that need addressing, potentially driving further innovations such as shrinkable large models for more efficient on-device operations.
