Between April 12-15, Reka Core launched a new GPT4-class multimodal foundation model with a detailed technical report described as "full Shazeer." Cohere Compass introduced a foundation embedding model for indexing and searching multi-aspect enterprise data like emails and invoices. The open-source IDEFICS 2-8B model continues Google's Flamingo multimodal model reproduction. Rewind pivoted to a multi-platform app called Limitless, moving away from spyware. Reddit discussions highlighted Apple MLX outperforming Ollama and Mistral Instruct on M2 Ultra GPUs, GPU choices for LLMs and Stable Diffusion, and AI-human comparisons by Microsoft Research's Chris Bishop. Former PayPal CEO Dan Schulman predicted GPT-5 will drastically reduce job scopes by 80%. Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch criticized the obsession with AGI as "creating God."
