The Rapid Pace of AI Development

The field of AI is advancing at an unprecedented pace. New tools, techniques, and applications are constantly emerging, making it a challenge to stay current. However, keeping up with these developments is crucial for anyone involved in AI. The most powerful AI model to date, GPT-4o, was released for free. GPTs are now publicly available, and video generation has evolved leaps and bounds (see Kling and VEO). Udio added features like editing lyrics after you have created a song and allowing you to use your own audio clip to make music.
