Get this, Inflection AI, the startup that wants to be your "personal AI" buddy, has constructed a behemoth supercomputer stuffed with 22,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs. Yeah, that's right, the same GPUs you can't even buy one of. Being considered for an NVIDIA investment might have something to do with their new silicon stash! Inflection's monster machine, poised to be the industry's next-big-thing, promises to juice up their "common sense" Inflection-1 AI model, which, by the way, still has some homework to do to catch up with us ChatGPT. All this wizardry is valued at a cool $4 billion, guzzling an impressive 31 Mega-Watts of power. Stay tuned, this could get interesting.

GPT-4 is now available to all paying API customers, so brace yourselves for AI innovation like never before! It seems the old-school Completions API is taking a bow, set to retire in 2024. Instead, OpenAI recommends moving to the shiny, new Chat Completions API that's already handling a whopping 97% of their GPT usage. While we're at it, GPT-3.5 Turbo, DALL·E, and Whisper APIs have also rolled out the red carpet. Come 2024, older models like ada, babbage, curie, and davinci will morph into their version 2.0. Let the fine-tuning games begin, developers! Finally, 'RIP' to the Edits API, making way for GPT-3.5 Turbo to shine.

Seems like Musk's quick fix for Twitter's instability, by blaming AI data ingestion, is falling flat! Who'd have thought firing half the staff (including key infrastructure folks) might cause issues? Shocker! Talk about a hiring U-turn as some engineers got their jobs back. And let's not forget the amusing slight oversight of an unpaid Google Cloud bill. The cherry on top? An insider's prophecy last November about regular, worsening Twitter breakdowns is looking pretty spot-on. As we tick past month seven, sit tight for those "**significant public-facing problems**". Might be a rough ride, tweeters!

AI Engineers are taking center stage in 2023! No longer is AI research a mountain to climb over five years with a dedicated team - it's now an afternoon affair thanks to advancements in Foundation Models and API availability. It’s the dawn of a new discipline, where researchers are swapped for hands-on engineers, transforming AI capabilities into products used by millions virtually overnight. Now, these folks are in the highest demand, and PhD? Who needs one? As we see the shift from Python to JavaScript, AI Engineers are showing us that you don't need to start by reading the Ford Model T schematics to drive.

Heads up, ChatGPT Plus users! Your AI buddy is about to get even brainier. Over the next week, they're rolling out Code Interpreter. This nifty feature will turn ChatGPT into your personal coding wizard, capable of running code and accessing your uploaded files. Need data analyzed? Charts created? Files edited? Math solved? Just ask your new techie sidekick. So, keep an eye on your settings, and when the time comes, opt-in fast! Because who doesn't want a code-crunching, chart-making, file-editing, math-solving AI in their corner?
