Sam Altman Confirms OpenAI Working on GPT-5: A Next-Generation AI Model with the Potential to Achieve AGI 🤖

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has just confirmed that the company is currently working on their next big AI model, GPT-5.

Details:

  • CEO Sam Altman suggests that with additional investments from Microsoft and other backers, GPT-5 has the potential to achieve "superintelligence."

  • The goal is for GPT-5 to not just parrot information, but to reason, originate new ideas, and process complex concepts like humans can. This is known as artificial general intelligence (AGI).

  • OpenAI will use a mix of publicly available data and proprietary datasets they purchase from companies to train GPT-5. They want more conversational data and long-form writing.

The timeline is unclear, but training will likely take months if not years before GPT-5 is ready for release.

Runway Introduces ‘Motion Brush’, a Revolutionary New Tool for Photo Animation

Runway has unveiled an exciting new feature that is set to transform photo animation.. Motion Brush allows users to easily animate still images by simply drawing on areas they want to bring to life.

Details:

  • Motion Brush intelligently generates smooth, natural animations from static images. Non-selected regions are automatically adjusted for realistic lighting, shadows, movement, etc.

  • The technology goes beyond basic animation techniques by seamlessly integrating animations into the source photo. The results are remarkably realistic.

  • Runway states that Motion Brush will be released soon as part of its Generation 2 interface update.

Though details remain limited pending its official launch, Motion Brush has been teased in a video showing potential applications for logos, graphics, photos, and more.

YouTube plans to introduce new guidelines next year requiring creators to label realistic AI-generated content like deepfakes. Failure to comply could lead to video removal.
