Top AI startup news of the week: Anthropic hits the Google jackpot
Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here. All other AI startup news got blown out of the water this morning, when word got out that Google will invest over $300 million into AI lab Anthropic, one of the buzziest AI startups in recent memory (partly thanks to its massive early investment by Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX) and one of OpenAI's biggest rivals for the LLM space. But, there were a few other startups that made news as well -- from those in autonomous driving to retail self-checkout. According to new reporting from the Financial Times, Google has invested $300 million in one of the most buzzy OpenAI rivals, AI lab startup Anthropic, whose recently-debuted generative AI model Claude is considered competitive with ChatGPT. According to the reporting, Google will take a stake of around 10% and Anthropic will be required to use the money to buy computing resources from Google Cloud.
Top AI startup news of the week: Jasper, Tome, Imagen AI and more
Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here. Tome, which calls itself the "new storytelling format for work and important ideas" and last month integrated OpenAI's DALL-E into its flexible, interactive slide options, announced this week that it has added overall "generated storytelling" to the mix. That is, with a single text prompt, the AI startup says creators can "generate entire narratives from scratch, complete with intelligent titles, outlines, pagination, page layouts and page content supported by GPT-3 and AI-generated images." The capabilities have been launched in beta. According to a press release, additional iterations and new AI functionality, including text and tone editing, inline image adjustments, and alternate layouts, are expected in early 2023.
