OpenAI’s new Generative Video AI

OpenAI released a new generative video AI, Sora, that converts a simple text prompt into a high quality video of up to a minute long!

Sora can also generate consistent 3D world simulations, like a video game.

AI models to create videos have seen remarkable progress over the last couple of months with new models from Meta, Runway and Pika.

But they struggle with Occlusion, aka failing to remember objects from previous frames. OpenAI claims to have solved this, resulting in coherent videos that match our understanding of physical world.

NVIDIA unveils a chatbot for your PC

NVIDIA released a new AI app, Chat With RTX, that let’s you create custom chatbots on your own content including documents, videos and notes.

It runs entirely on your PC and your private data stays local on your computer, improving privacy and response latency.

Currently, GeForce RTX 30 Series and 40 Series graphics cards will be able to run the AI-powered chatbot offline on Windows PCs.

Productivity

Visualize your data using ChatGPT

Creating graphs over excel data is surprisingly time-consuming. But you can create any graph using ChatGPT in seconds!

Here’s how to create a line graph -

1. Use Chart Maker from GPT-Store

   

2. Enter your prompt and simply paste your raw CSV data.

   

3. And done! Follow up to customize the graph and download.

And there you have it - your graph is ready in no time!
