AI Tools for Unlimited Input, 3D Model Creation from Text, and More
Welcome back to Techciting! In this week's edition, we'll be diving into some of the latest and greatest AI tools that have caught our attention. From processing unlimited input to creating 3D models from text, these tools are pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI.
Unlimiformer: Enabling AI Tools to Process Unlimited Input
AI tools like ChatGPT have a problem — they only allow a limited amount of input. That means analyzing a whole book or codebase at once isn't possible. However, researchers have developed an approach called Unlimiformer that enables AI tools to process an unlimited length of input. With this tool, summarizing whole books or analyzing massive datasets is now possible. Learn more about Unlimiformer here.
Shap-E: Creating 3D Models from Text
OpenAI's latest tool, Shap-E, allows you to create 3D models from text. That means you can generate game 3D models just by describing them — no expertise required! It's an amazing and somewhat scary tool that pushes the boundaries of what's possible with AI. Learn more about Shap-E here.
Mojo: A New Programming Language for AI
The team at Modular has developed Mojo, a new programming language for AI developers that boasts the performance of C, compatibility with AI hardware, and a Python-like syntax. This tool could democratize AI model creation even more. Find out more about Mojo here.
MPT-7B: Open Source LLM for Commercial Use
Most powerful open source models aren’t available for commercial use, forcing businesses to rely on commercial models. However, MPT-7B is a new, open source LLM that allows commercial use, making it perfect for self-hosting your own LLM for your business. Learn more about MPT-7B here.
UnionX: AI-Assisted Workflow Creation
Every workplace has processes designed to accomplish specific goals. What if you could build an AI-assisted workflow? UnionX lets you create a sequence of steps in your applications. For example, their demo notebook showcases how to create a complete marketing plan from uploaded PDF documents. Give it a try here.
