OpenAI – API upgrades

Yesterday (Wednesday 13/06) OpenAI announced updates to the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 APIs. More specifically:

Function calling for GPT-3.5 Turbo and GPT-4 for Chat Completions. By describing functions in prompts, the model can output a JSON object containing arguments to call these functions based on user input → ideal for integrations with other tools or APIs. Here is the official documentation.
Cost reduction:
- 25% for input tokens for GPT-3.5 Turbo
- 75% for embedding models
Larger context for GPT-3.5 Turbo, 16k instead of the 4k it was until now.

It is a major upgrade for those who are leveraging OpenAI models to build their own apps!

MusicGen by Meta

Another AI tool from Meta. This week he gave us MusicGen, which allows us with a simple description to generate music. It seems to be a clear answer to MusicLM, which Google released recently. But unlike MusicLM, MusicGen is much easier to use and doesn’t need a specific setup.

It helps you to go from 2D video (even videos shot with your mobile phone is enough) to 3D virtual assets. It is a gamechanger for animators, game developers, filmmakers and artists in general, as it saves them infinite time from drawing 3D models for their projects.
