ChatGPT becomes more secure

PLUS: Apple Quartz, Replit is unicorn and HuggingChat.

April 26, 2023

Hey folks, today we’ve got Open AI’s next plan for ChatGPT privacy, governments experimenting with AI and Apple’s health assistant.

And then we have two not-so-underdogs, Huggingface and Replit, making splashes big waves.

Let’s get to it.

I dunno about you guys but that Apple health app on my iPhone is like a dormant volcano - doesn’t get opened until every few years when I decide to go on a run. Anyway, enough about me, because they’re planning to build out an AI-powered health coach app that they’re calling Quartz. The intention is to help users stay motivated to exercise, improve their eating habits, and sleep better using knowledge of their behaviour. It’ll even be able to use Apple Watch feeds to tailor personal programmes. And if that’s not futuristic enough for you, they one day want to be able to use the app to understand the user’s mood and emotions…

If you’re like the Italians and object to ChatGPT for data protection reasons, then look no further my friend, because OpenAI is embracing that shizz. They’re providing the option to switch off your chat history, which means that they won’t use your conversations to train future language models (or to improve current ones). Reuters have even gone and named it “incognito mode.” And if you’re concerned that that’ll hamper their ability to assess for abuse, then don’t fret - they hold onto it for 30 days to do exactly that.

PLUS: There’s a new business subscription coming soon that’ll keep your inputs safe and private by default.

It looks like the UK government is dipping its toes into AI again following that £1B promise several months ago. This time they’re focussing on the idea of a ‘sovereign’ AI getting a £100m investment - I guess this is like a government-funded chatbot? It really is great to see governments embracing AI and seeing where it can be used to improve public services - we’ve also seen the US Congress sign 40 lucky sods up to ChatGPT+! I’m just hoping that the UK’s NFT promise during the peak of the crypto hype isn’t a bad omen for the AI industry

Everyone’s favourite open-source platform, Hugging Face, hasn’t been able to resist the chance to get stuck in. They’ve released HuggingChat (a natural name), their very own open-source chatbot with both a web interface and available API. Apparently it’s not quite up there with the language models of the big dogs, but hey, it’s free.

Early in the day yesterday, Replit launched their series B extension raising $97.4M at a $1.16B valuation, and I knew something would be announced and it’s IRL gathering.

Later in the day, they launched a code-gen model trained from scratch that surpasses Open AI’s Codex with finetuning from Replit data. They are releasing the model under an open-source license too. Deets on the model size (it’s smol) and performance here.

Replit is something else these days. Lookout Github.
