Hello, Starters!

Enterprises are one of the main targets for AI innovations, as their fast-paced adoption can be beneficial to both their development and the streamlining of workflows. This is why we'll continue to see major players entering this field.

Here’s what you’ll find today:

  • Perplexity hits $1B valuation + unveils “Enterprise Pro”

  • OpenELM: A family of models by Apple

  • Amazon announces Custom Model Import

  • AI creates drugs from protein structures

  • Meta’s smart glasses are multimodal

  • And more.

Standing out as one of the most promising AI offerings at the moment, Perplexity, has reached a billion-dollar valuation in a recent round of funding. With this milestone, the AI search startup plans to expand its global presence. 

Additionally, they've announced Enterprise Pro, a service that aims to enhance workplace search while prioritising data privacy and security, providing accurate and efficient results simultaneously.

Apple is also pushing for open source and small models with the launch of OpenELM, a family of open-source "Efficient Language Models" ranging from 270M to 3B parameters, which excel in accuracy and are optimised for Apple devices.

The company has shared the pre-training dataset, CoreNet, in support of open research and to improve the models through collaborative efforts.

Amazon wants to make its cloud computing service, AWS, a major asset for companies. They recently announced Custom Model Import, a feature for Bedrock that allows enterprises to bring their own AI programs and use them like any other AI program in Bedrock, such as Llama 3 or Claude 3.

This feature enables companies to further improve their proprietary AI models by leveraging Bedrock's tools, expanding their knowledge, fine-tuning them, and adding safeguards against biases.

💊Scientists from ETH Zurich are usingAI algorithms to create new drug molecules based on a protein's three-dimensional surface. The software is available for researchers worldwide, with the goal of improving drug discovery.

🕶️After a period of beta testing, Meta is finally rolling out Multimodal AI access to all its Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses users. This allows them to easily command the AI assistant to answer queries, take photos, translate signs, and much more.
