00:00In the last couple of days, there have been some major breakthroughs in the world of AI.
00:04From Amazon's shopping assistant Rufus to AI2's open-source AI tool Olmo 7B and ARK's innovative web-searching browser,
00:13we're seeing groundbreaking changes in how AI is used and shared.
00:17First, let's talk about Amazon's latest innovation in the realm of online shopping.
00:22Rufus, an AI-powered shopping assistant designed to revolutionize the shopping experience.
00:27Rufus, named in homage to the dog of Amazon's early editor-in-chief, symbolizes the company's commitment to innovation and customer centricity.
00:37Rufus is engineered to assist shoppers in making informed decisions, leveraging a vast array of data including Amazon's product catalog, customer reviews, community Q&As, and web information.
00:49The tool operates on a large language model, allowing it to process and respond to customer queries in a conversational manner.
00:55This feature enables Rufus to provide in-depth product comparisons, answer specific queries, and offer customized recommendations.
01:03To access Rufus, customers can simply type or speak into the search bar of Amazon's mobile app.
01:09A chat window then appears, enabling users to interact with Rufus in a natural, conversational style.
01:15This interaction could range from asking about the differences between product types, like trail and road-running shoes,
01:22to requesting comparisons between products, such as drip and pour-over coffee makers.
01:27Rufus employs its AI capabilities to draw insights from various data sources, providing relevant and comprehensive responses.
01:34Amazon plans a phased rollout for Rufus, initially targeting a small subset of U.S. customers before expanding nationwide in the weeks to follow.
01:43This strategy allows Amazon to fine-tune Rufus based on user feedback and usage patterns.
01:49While currently available through the Amazon mobile app, there are plans to extend Rufus to other platforms.
01:54The launch of Rufus is part of a broader strategy by Amazon to accelerate its AI initiatives.
01:59CEO Andy Jassy has indicated the company's intent to integrate generative AI across all its business areas.
02:06This move aligns with the tech industry's trend towards incorporating advanced conversational AI into online platforms and services.
02:14Amazon's exploration of AI extends beyond Rufus.
02:18The company has released various AI tools and services recently, spurred by the momentum generated by OpenAI's ChatGPT.
02:25These initiatives include AI tools for responding to shopper questions, summarizing reviews, assisting third-party sellers in writing product listings, and beyond its retail domain, introducing Q, a chatbot for businesses, and Bedrock, a generative AI service for cloud customers.
02:43Amazon faces competition in the AI-powered shopping assistant domain.
02:48Walmart, in partnership with Microsoft, has introduced its own generative AI shopping assistant.
02:54Startups like Seattle-based Spiffy are also entering the market with similar tools and technologies for a broader array of retailers.
03:02However, Amazon's Rufus stands out due to its integration with the company's extensive product catalog and its vast customer base.
03:10All right, now, AI2, a nonprofit started by Microsoft's Paul Allen, is changing how AI research is done by opening up their work to everyone.
03:19They've just released a new AI tool called Olmo 7b, and they're sharing everything about it, from the training data to the source code, on websites like GitHub and Hugging Face.
03:30In the past, AI researchers used to share their findings freely.
03:34But when big AI models like OpenAI's GPT-4 came along, things changed.
03:39Investors wanted to keep the details secret because they were valuable.
03:43But AI2 is going against this trend.
03:46AI2's senior director, Hannah Hageshirzi, explains that they're making everything about Olmo 7b public, including all the steps and details of its development.
03:55This openness means that AI researchers can see exactly how Olmo 7b works, which can help them make better AI tools and solve problems with current ones.
04:05Sophie Lebrecht, the COO of AI2, says that to understand and improve these AI models, researchers need full access to all the data.
04:14This way, they can figure out why and how the AI makes its decisions.
04:18Researchers have been trying to link specific AI responses to the data it was trained on, and this openness might help.
04:24One problem right now is that many AI researchers can only use big AI models from companies like OpenAI or Google, which are expensive to train and use.
04:34These researchers can't see the inner workings of these models, so they don't fully understand the results they get.
04:40Hageshirzi compares this situation to an astronomer trying to study the solar system with only newspaper pictures.
04:46Even open-source models from companies like Meta aren't fully open.
04:49They share the model, but not the training data or all the details.
04:53Olmo is a medium-sized model with 7 billion parameters and was trained on 2 trillion tokens.
04:59Lebrecht points out that keeping AI research secret means other researchers often try to redo the same work, which wastes energy and has environmental impacts.
05:08By sharing their work, AI2 hopes to reduce the carbon footprint of AI research and avoid duplicated efforts.
05:14Meta's chief AI scientist, Jan LeCun, supports open-sourcing new AI models.
05:19He believes that an open-source community is the best way to advance AI.
05:23Hageshirzi agrees, but notes that even Meta's open-source models don't share everything, like the training data and all the code details.
05:31In short, AI2's move to make Olmo 7B completely open is a big step towards more collaboration and progress in AI research.
05:39And it could also help the environment by reducing duplicated work.
05:43Okay, lastly, let's talk about ARK.
05:45A tech company that is creating something really cool, an AI that can search the web for you.
05:50Normally, we use Google or other search engines to find stuff online, but ARK wants to change that with their new tool.
05:57They're making a browser called the ARK browser that does the searching for you.
06:01Soon, they'll release a tool where you just tell the browser what you're looking for, and it finds all the info for you by searching the web itself.
06:08Imagine telling it you need a table reservation at a restaurant, and it finds all the available times for you.
06:13You can then book a table with just one click.
06:16ARK has already started making some of these cool features.
06:19They've got this new iPhone app called ARK Search.
06:22It has a feature called Browse for Me, where the app reads several webpages about what you're looking for and then makes a new page with all the important info, including photos and videos.
06:32They've also got this new thing called Instant Links.
06:35Say you're looking for the Gladiator 2 trailer.
06:37Curtains fall on Maximus Epic.
06:39Instead of showing a bunch of search results, it takes you straight to the trailer on YouTube.
06:45And if you want reviews for a product like the Apple Vision Pro, it makes a folder with all the reviews from different websites.
06:51Later, they'll add a live folder feature.
06:55It's like a regular folder, but it updates automatically when new stuff gets posted online.
07:00For example, if there's a new blog post on a topic you're interested in, the folder updates with it.
07:05It's a bit like keeping up with news feeds and website changes, but we're not sure if it can track every little change on a web page.
07:12The idea behind ARK Browser is to change how we use the web.
07:16They want to make it faster to find what you're looking for without going through a bunch of search results.
07:21They're using AI in a different way, not just for writing stuff, but for things like renaming tabs and showing previews of links.
07:28One big question is how this AI-powered browser will affect the websites it gets info from.
07:33And how will it decide what's the best result for each person, since everyone likes different things?
07:38With companies like OpenAI and Perplexity, and even big search engines like Google, Microsoft, and DuckDuckGo using AI for searching,
07:47ARK thinks it's the perfect time to offer a new way to search on the web.
07:51They promise not to sell user data.
07:53And they're thinking about making special features for teams, but they haven't shared much about that yet.
07:58Alright, that wraps up our video.
