ElevenLabs launches free AI voice isolator to take on Adobe

ElevenLabs, an AI voice startup, launched a free AI Voice Isolator tool that removes unwanted background noise from content like films, podcasts, and videos. The tool processes uploaded audio files to extract clear speech, similar to studio-quality recordings. Despite its capabilities, it struggles with some irregular noises and doesn't work on music vocals. 

The tool, currently available on the ElevenLabs platform, offers free usage with limits and paid plans starting at $5 per month for larger files. Future improvements and API access are anticipated, though details on underlying models and data usage remain limited.

Perplexity’s ‘Pro Search’ AI upgrade makes it better at math and research

Perplexity has upgraded its Pro Search AI tool, enhancing its ability to handle complex queries, improve math and programming capabilities, and conduct thorough research. The tool can now break down multi-step questions and provide detailed answers, as demonstrated with queries about the northern lights in Iceland and Finland. 

However, Perplexity faces criticism for alleged plagiarism and unethical data scraping practices. The upgraded tool is available for free with limited daily searches, while a subscription plan offers more extensive use. Despite the controversy, Perplexity aims to improve content generation and data analysis for users.

Kyutai Open Sources Moshi: A Real-Time Native Multimodal Foundation AI Model that can Listen and Speak

Kyutai has launched Moshi, an open-source, real-time multimodal AI model capable of listening and speaking simultaneously. Moshi can understand and express emotions, handle multiple accents, and process both text and audio in real-time. It features advanced training on synthetic conversations and offers an impressive end-to-end latency of 200 milliseconds. 

Accessible on devices like MacBooks, Moshi includes responsible AI use features such as watermarking for detecting AI-generated audio. Kyutai plans to release more versions and a technical report, aiming to foster widespread adoption and innovation through its permissive licensing.

Meta 3D Gen

Meta has unveiled Meta 3D Gen (3DGen), a cutting-edge text-to-3D asset generation tool that creates high-quality 3D shapes and textures in under a minute. 3DGen excels in generating detailed 3D assets with prompt fidelity and supports physically-based rendering (PBR) for real-world applications. It integrates Meta 3D AssetGen for text-to-3D generation and Meta 3D TextureGen for text-to-texture generation, representing objects in view space, volumetric space, and UV space. 

The model achieves a win rate of 68% over single-stage models and outperforms industry standards in prompt fidelity and visual quality, making it a significant advancement in 3D asset creation.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Mac app was storing conversations in plain text

OpenAI's ChatGPT macOS app had a security flaw where conversations were stored in plain text, making them easily accessible to bad actors. The issue, discovered by Pedro José Pereira Vieito, allowed other apps to read these chats. After The Verge contacted OpenAI, the company released an update encrypting the stored chats. 

OpenAI assured users of their commitment to security and user experience. The flaw was due to the app not using sandbox protections as it isn't distributed via the Mac App Store. The update resolved the issue, preventing unauthorized access to the conversations.

Nvidia to make $12bn from AI chips in China this year despite US controls

Nvidia is projected to earn $12 billion from AI chip sales in China this year, despite US export restrictions. The company plans to deliver over 1 million of its new H20 chips, priced between $12,000 and $13,000 each. These chips are designed to comply with US regulations, allowing sales to Chinese customers. This surpasses sales of local rival Huawei's Ascend 910B. 

Although Nvidia's overall business in China has decreased due to export controls, the H20 chip's popularity is bolstering sales, highlighting Nvidia's ability to navigate geopolitical tensions while meeting significant demand in China.

Summary of a Haystack: A Challenge to Long-Context LLMs and RAG Systems

Researchers designed the "Summary of a Haystack" (SummHay) task to evaluate large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. This task requires summarizing large document sets to identify key insights and accurately cite sources. Current systems struggle with SummHay, scoring significantly lower than human performance, highlighting ongoing challenges in long-context tasks.

We-Math: Does Your Large Multimodal Model Achieve Human-like Mathematical Reasoning?

The WE-MATH benchmark evaluates large multimodal models' (LMMs) mathematical reasoning abilities. Unlike existing benchmarks, it focuses on problem-solving principles, not just results. WE-MATH includes 6.5K visual math problems and assesses models using a novel four-dimensional metric. Findings show a shift in GPT-4o's challenges from insufficient knowledge to inadequate generalization, highlighting progress and areas for improvement in LMMs' reasoning capabilities.

ROS-LLM: A ROS framework for embodied AI with task feedback and structured reasoning

The ROS-LLM framework simplifies robot programming for non-experts using natural language prompts and Robot Operating System (ROS) context. It integrates large language models (LLMs) to understand tasks and execute ROS actions. Key features include behavior extraction, support for various behavior modes, and imitation learning. Experiments show its robustness and versatility, and the code is open-source.

Scaling Synthetic Data Creation with 1,000,000,000 Personas

Researchers introduced a persona-driven data synthesis method using a large language model (LLM) to create diverse synthetic data. They developed Persona Hub, a collection of 1 billion personas, representing 13% of the global population. These personas enable the creation of varied synthetic data for multiple applications, including mathematical problems and game NPCs, showcasing scalability, versatility, and potential impact on LLM research.

OpenVid-1M: A Large-Scale High-Quality Dataset for Text-to-video Generation

Researchers introduced OpenVid-1M, a high-quality dataset with over 1 million text-video pairs for text-to-video (T2V) generation, addressing the lack of precise, open-source data. They also created OpenVidHD-0.4M with 433K 1080p videos. They proposed a Multi-modal Video Diffusion Transformer (MVDiT) to better extract semantic information from text, demonstrating superior performance over existing methods.
