Your weekly guide to generative AI tools and news

Generative AI News - Quick Hits

A brief note on this week’s main news stories. This past week has been hailed as the biggest week for open source models; check out the top two stories to see why. The release of GPT-4o Mini is also notable, as OpenAI now recommends it to developers to use instead of GPT-3.5 Turbo, as it is both faster and cheaper. New tools such as the AI image generation tool Auraflow, as well as updates to existing tools (e.g. Adobe’s AI features), continue to roll out. And of course, various opinion pieces on generative AI keep cropping up on a weekly basis. Take a look below!

Tool of the week: Microsoft Designer

Microsoft’s AI design tool Microsoft Designer is now available as an app on your phone. Use it to create AI images, stickers, birthday cards, designs and more on Android and iOS devices.
