Meta's struggles and OpenAI teases next release

Welcome back, Superhuman. An interesting observation I heard recently: by the time a technology works flawlessly, all the alpha has disappeared. Early PCs were ridiculed as toys. The first iPhone was criticized for not having basic features like copy-paste. The internet was dismissed as a passing fad by many experts. So, next time you’re using an AI tool and see an output that isn’t perfect, keep calm and carry on with the knowledge that you’re early to this technological wave.

TODAY IN AI

1. Things are not going according to plan at Meta AI: According to the Wall Street Journal, the social media giant is postponing the release of 'Behemoth', its flagship AI model, as engineers struggle to deliver any notable improvements over previous versions. The launch has been pushed to later this year, as concerns ramp up around the model’s performance gains. The delay has reportedly created internal friction, with senior executives "frustrated" at the team's progress and contemplating major changes.

2. Viral startup Manus AI unveils new image gen capabilities: Unlike single-purpose AI tools that just whip out images, Manus’ new image generation tool doesn’t just adhere to text prompts — it understands your intent, plans workflows, browses the web for information, and pulls together multiple specialized tools to deliver ready-to-use visual content for marketing, product design, and other areas. You can see it in action here.

3. OpenAI teases its next big release: The ChatGPT-maker has social media on edge after posting a cryptic teaser hinting at a new AI tool for developers. CEO Sam Altman kicked off the teaser campaign yesterday evening, promising "another low-key research preview" that will have a better name than ChatGPT "incase it takes off."
