Key OpenAI Researcher Alexis Conneau Leaves to Start New AI Venture

Alexis Conneau, lead researcher at OpenAI and key figure behind GPT-4o, has announced his departure from the company.

Details:

• Conneau shared this news on X, hinting at exciting developments ahead and inviting those interested in creating something 'magical' to join his new venture, with more details coming soon.

• When asked about the timeline for AGI, Conneau responded that he is more interested in exploring 'general emotional intelligence,' possibly hinting at his new focus.

• Before OpenAI, Conneau was associated with Facebook AI Research (FAIR), where he made significant contributions to natural language processing and machine translation

This departure adds to the list of key exits the company has recently experienced. However, it has shown no signs of slowing down or being significantly affected by these changes so far.

AI Tutorial

Enhance code editing with Claude's inpainting feature

This feature is a type of inpainting, commonly used in AI images, where you highlight a specific area and tell the AI what you want to change.

Here’s how to use it:

1. Visit Claude.ai and enter a prompt to generate code, such as asking for an interactive dashboard, or revisit a past chat.

2. Switch to the Code view

3. Highlight any text you want to work with, and you'll get the option to 'improve' or 'explain' the selected portion.

4. Clicking 'improve' will open a text box where you can type how you want to change the code. Alternatively, you can click 'explain,' which sends the code block to the Claude chat window for a line-by-line explanation, with improvement suggestions.
