GPT4 Headlines the busiest week in AI
Google and MSFT release workflow AI, new tools and fundraising make this the busiest Generative AI week of the year (thus far!)
It seems like every week the pace of the ecosystem increases. This week the GPT4 release captured most of the headlines but there was plenty going on elsewhere and competition will surely stiffen for OpenAI.
GPT 4 Release Deep Dive:
We covered the key details (including pricing!) of the GPT4 release in yesterday’s post.

Claude Moves Forward towards launch
Built by a team of ex-OpenAI employees, Anthropic's latest model 'Claude' is here (limited release) and one of the legitimate threats to OpenAI a the premium model provider.
Key Features:
- Advanced language understanding and reasoning abilities
- Ability to learn and incorporate new information
- Can detect and resolve ambiguities in language
- High performance on language-based tasks
Midjourney V5 is here with hyper-real images (and less mangled hands!)
Midjourney continues to stay ahead of OpenAI in the image generation space. Image models tend to have more of a “default” feel so there may be room for multiple leaders in this space. Their new V5, produces breathtaking images with minimal effort.
Summary:
Midjourney V5 is a new software program that transforms images into works of art. Using advanced algorithms, Midjourney V5 corrects common issues like blurriness, color distortion, and poor lighting. The program also offers a range of filters and editing options to enhance your images even further.
See some examples of V4 vs V5 here:


Key Features:
- Advanced algorithms improve image quality
- Filters and editing options for additional customization
OpenAI Launches Evals to Leverage community for AI Model Testing
Have you ever wished for AI models to be tested in real world scenarios? OpenAI is using community involvement to make this a reality. OpenAI has launched a platform called Evals, which allows the community to contribute to AI model testing through an evaluation process. With the goal of removing biases and ensuring accurate results, Evals will enable researchers and scientists to collaborate with the public to improve AI models.
Key Features:
- Evals is a platform that enables community evaluation of AI models
- OpenAI hopes to improve model accuracy and reduce bias through crowd-sourcing evaluation
- The platform is designed for researchers and data scientists to collaborate with the public to improve AI models

LLMs and SQL: Together at last?
One of the limitations of LLMs is difficulty in generating usable SQL LangChain's latest toolkit release of SQL chains seeks to make that easier.
LangChain, a blockchain development platform, has recently rolled out a new toolkit that supports building agents that create SQL.
This blog describes the progress and challenges.
Guardrails: Structuring LLM Responses
Guardrails: A New Toolkit to Address Response Structure Challenges in LLMs
While its a feature for human consumption, one of the difficulties of machine consumption of LLM responses is the lack of structure. Guardrails, a new toolkit has just been released to address this challenge! With Guardrails, developers can now easily add structure to their LLMs responses, making it quicker and easier to build systems around them.
Key Features:
- Provides guardrails for response structure
- Works with LLMs
- Easy to integrate
Developers can use Guardrails to build efficient systems around LLMs, test and debug systems, and also ensure a better user experience.
Try out many LLMs beyond OpenAI
Nat, has launched a new UI toolkit to compare language models. The tool is designed to make comparison between different NLP models simpler and faster.
Key Features:
- User-friendly interface for easy comparison between models
- Supports different text inputs, including plain text and JSON
- Provides detailed comparison graphs and metrics, including precision and recall
- Works with various state-of-the-art models, including BERT and XLM-Roberta
