AI projects and collaborative systems
Swarms
Swarms is an innovative AI project by Agora, using Language Models (LLM) as autonomous agents to form a dynamic and collaborative AI system. They aim to transform AI from isolated agents to a unified swarm, advancing Humanity through collective insights from 1500+ researchers.
AI exploration and information presentation
Albus.io
Albus is a fun and creative tool for exploring various topics. It combines the power of AI with human input to enhance its capabilities. Users can open different topics, add notes, organize content, and find relevant images. Asking questions, discovering new perspectives, and sparking ideas are encouraged. Sharing and presenting content is made easy. Albus aims to engage users in learning and presenting information. Keep in mind that it uses ChatGPT, which may occasionally provide inaccurate information about people, places, or facts.
AI tools and utilities
Tinyvector
Tinyvector is a fast, small, and efficient vector embedding database. Built on Flask, SQLite, and Numpy, it offers easy customization in under 500 lines of code. Its memory-based indexing allows fast querying, scaling well to large datasets. It’s open-source and will soon have powerful SQL querying and integrated model support, with Python/JS client packages for easy integration.
Google Bard API
Google Bard API is a Python package designed to interact with Google Bard, an AI chatbot. Using a specific cookie value, it returns responses. However, it’s essential to use it responsibly as it’s not free and intended primarily for testing due to the delayed official API. The package is lightweight and can easily adapt to an official API in the future. Nonetheless, using it for other purposes is strongly discouraged.
AI in customer insights and product discovery
Ween.ai
Ween.ai is an AI-powered product discovery platform that can quickly turn customer data into actionable insights. The tool lets you automatically analyze customer feedback with the accuracy of human capabilities and automates the analysis of customer interviews. Ween.ai provides transcripts in any language and extracts important highlights such as pain points, habits, and needs.
AI in operating systems and software development
Windows 11 unleashes the power of AI
Windows 11 integrates advanced AI features like Windows Copilot and Bing Chat plugins, transforming the user experience and empowering developers. With its user-friendly interface and enhanced Microsoft Store, Windows 11 embraces AI to create a smarter, more efficient, and user-focused platform.
ChatGPT Browse on temporary pause
ChatGPT Browse with Bing is a feature for ChatGPT Plus subscribers to search the web. Some users exploited this feature to bypass paywalls on websites, gaining unauthorized access to paywalled content. OpenAI took prompt action, disabling the feature temporarily to address the issue and respect content owners’ rights.
AI in chip design and image processing
Chinese researchers design RISC-V CPU in record time
Chinese researchers used AI to design a new RISC-V CPU in under 5 hours, much faster than humans. Though humorously compared to an i486 in performance, it achieved 99.99999999999% accuracy. This AI-driven chip design could reduce cycles in the semiconductor industry and pave the way for self-evolving machines.
Vectorizer.AI
Vectorizer.AI is an AI-powered tool that converts JPEG and PNG bitmaps into SVG vectors quickly and easily. It uses powerful GPUs and multi-core CPUs to analyze, process, and convert images from pixels into geometric shapes. The resulting vector image can be scaled to any resolution without getting blurry, and can be used to print, cut, embroider, and more. Vectorizer.AI supports full 32-bit color, including the alpha channel, and exports in formats such as SVG, PDF, EPS, DXF, and PNG.
