Generative AI News Rundown - A Deep Dive Into ChatGPT-4o, Gemini Upgrades and Intrigue & More - Voicebot Podcast Ep 381

OpenAI introduced GPT-4o as a new model and the foundation for
ChatGPT. The company also offered more than a dozen videos and
other use case examples, which enabled us to break down many of
the nuances enabled by the new model. Is this the voice assistant
everyone always wanted?


A day later, Google debuted its latest updates for Gemini and
offered a preview of Project Astra, the upgraded future of Gemini
assistant, which they say will turn it into an agent for users.
Google provided just a couple of videos and examples, but it also
showed off a much broader set of impacts across its applications.
These include search, Workspace, photos, and smart glasses (?).
In all, Google had more than 100 announcement at I/O and most
related to AI.


Below are 20 articles and blog posts that provide added context
on the biggest news across the generative AI landscape. There
were a few stories we did not get to that were also of
significant impact and we will likely work them into the next
episode of GAIN.
