AI ON MY MIND
Happy Wednesday!
Quick question, would you pay $200/mo to use ChatGPT?
Personally, I would not.
ChatGPT rolled out there new o1 reapning model and you have to pay $200 per month to access it.
I have read mixed reviews on the o1 capabilities. For now, I’ll stick to the $20 model.

TODAY’S TOP STORIES
💻 Amazon forms an AI agent-focused lab led by Adept’s co-founder
Amazon is launching the Amazon AGI SF Lab, a new R&D facility in San Francisco led by Adept co-founder David Luan, focusing on building AI agents that can perform complex tasks in both digital and physical worlds.
The lab emerges from Amazon's June deal with Adept, which licensed its AI technology to Amazon and transferred key team members including Luan.
This initiative represents Amazon's most significant push into autonomous AI agents, with plans to hire dozens of researchers across various fields while working closely with robotics expert Pieter Abbeel.
The lab will focus on developing AI agents capable of real-world actions, learning from human feedback, and self-correction, building upon Amazon's broader AGI team initiatives.
Industry forecasts suggest the "agentic" AI sector could reach $31 billion by year-end, with 82% of organizations planning to integrate AI agents within three years.
The project aligns with Amazon's recent AI developments, including conversational agents for Bedrock AI and Amazon Q Business assistant platform.
⛔️ ElevenLabs’ AI voice generation ‘very likely’ used in a Russian influence operation
ElevenLabs' AI voice generation technology has been identified in a Russian influence campaign called "Operation Undercut," which created misleading news videos targeting European audiences to undermine support for Ukraine.
The campaign, run by the Social Design Agency on behalf of the Russian government, used AI-generated voiceovers in multiple European languages to make propaganda content appear more legitimate and reach wider audiences.
Despite the sophisticated use of AI technology, Recorded Future reports that the campaign had minimal impact on European public opinion.
The campaign utilized ElevenLabs' technology to generate accent-free voiceovers in English, French, German, Polish, and Turkish, masking the Russian origin of the content.
ElevenLabs has faced previous controversies, including their technology being used in fake robocalls impersonating President Biden during a primary election.
The company has grown significantly since 2022, increasing their ARR from $25 million to $80 million, with a potential $3 billion valuation.

The new model comes equipped with a multimodal live API that enables it to process and respond in text, audio, and visual formats, while being twice as fast as its predecessor.
Along with the release, Google introduced Jules, an AI-powered code agent for developers, and enhanced features for AI Studio and Vertex AI platforms.
Gemini 2.0 Flash supports tool use, code execution, and search capabilities, allowing seamless interaction with data sources without additional setup.
The model can perform complex tasks like analyzing movie runtimes, creating visual recipes, and engaging in real-time conversations through speech.
