1️⃣ GPT-4o free for everyone

OpenAI has made GPT-4o free for everyone. Two weeks after the release of their flagship model, which includes browsing, vision, data analysis, file uploads, and GPTs, it has been announced that it is now available to everyone for free.

When using GPT-4o, ChatGPT Free users will now have access to features such as:

• Experience GPT-4 level intelligence

• Get responses from both the model and the web

• Analyze data and create charts

• Chat about photos you take

• Upload files for assistance summarizing, writing, or analyzing

• Discover and use GPTs and the GPT Store

ChatGPT is on its way to the world of work

OpenAI announced that it has signed an agreement with PwC, the management consulting giant, to become its biggest customer, covering 100,000 users. Alongside that, the consulting firm will become OpenAI's first partner to sell the AI company’s enterprise offerings to other businesses. Don’t be surprised if ChatGPT soon arrives at your company.

2️⃣ New level in audio: generating sound effects

Text-to-Sound Effects is here. AI audio startups are working on launching products that allow you to generate any sound effect with a text prompt.

ElevenLabs

Their AI audio model generates sound effects, short instrumental tracks, soundscapes, and a wide variety of character voices, all from a text prompt. Now available for all users.

Suno

Suno announced that they are about to launch the functionality that will allow using these sound effects to generate songs. Additionally, they have announced their "Suno Summer" contest: The 500 most popular songs can win from $100 to $10,000.

3️⃣ Remove unwanted objects from your images with Lightroom Generative

Remove is a generative AI tool powered by Adobe Firefly that enables you to remove unwanted objects and distractions from your images, even on complex patterns or backgrounds. This tool makes crowd control easy, allowing you to say goodbye to photobombers, concert crowds, and tourists ruining your shots. With Generative Remove, you can make them disappear effortlessly.

Is it the same as Generative Fill in Photoshop?

The difference between Generative Remove in Lightroom and tools like Generative Fill in Photoshop lies in their approach and use:

• Generative Remove in Lightroom uses Firefly technology to analyze the surrounding area in your photo and replace the selected removal with an emulated background that matches.

• Generative Fill in Photoshop uses the same technology but allows adding and removing content from your image using a prompt.

4️⃣ Propose "Kill Switch" for AI

Major tech companies, including Microsoft, Amazon, and OpenAI, made voluntary commitments to ensure the safe development of their most advanced AI models. Among the various agreements, they plan to implement a "kill switch" that would cease the development of their AI models if they cannot guarantee the mitigation of these risks.
