GPT-5 delayed again amid a quiet news day. Nous Research released Hermes 3 finetune of Llama 3 base models, rivaling FAIR's instruct tunes but sparking debate over emergent existential crisis behavior with 6% roleplay data. Nvidia introduced Minitron finetune of Llama 3.1. Salesforce launched a DEI agent scoring 55% on SWE-Bench Lite. Goodfire AI secured $7M seed funding for mechanistic interpretability work. Anthropic rolled out prompt caching in their API, cutting input costs by up to 90% and latency by 80%, aiding coding assistants and large document processing. xAI released Grok-2, matching Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4 Turbo on LMSYS leaderboard with vision+text inputs and image generation integration. Claude 3.5 Sonnet reportedly outperforms GPT-4 in coding and reasoning. François Chollet defined intelligence as efficient operationalization of past info for future tasks. Salesforce's DEI framework surpasses individual agent performance. Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis discussed AGI's role in scientific discovery and safe AI development. Dora AI plugin generates landing pages in under 60 seconds, boosting web team efficiency. Box AI API beta enables document chat, data extraction, and content summarization. LangChain updated Python & JavaScript integration docs.

Romain Huet demonstrated an unreleased version of GPT-4o on ChatGPT Desktop showcasing capabilities like low latency voice generation, whisper tone moderation, camera mode streaming video to GPT-4o, rapid OCR, screen sharing with ChatGPT for programming help, clipboard reading, and vision-based code conversation. OpenAI's four investment areas highlighted include textual intelligence, efficiency/cost, model customization, and multimodal agents. Google DeepMind released Gemma 2 models in 9B and 27B sizes trained on 8T and 13T tokens respectively, using SFT, distillation, RLHF, and model merging, optimized for TPUv5e with strong performance and safety measures. Meta AI announced the Meta LLM Compiler built on Meta Code Llama with enhanced code optimization and compiler features.
