We Might Finally Get AI That “Remembers” Us 📝

ChatGPT is a bit like a supercentenarian: full of wisdom but can’t remember a damn thing you tell it!

Every time I fire up a chat, I have to jog ChatGPT’s memory about who I am so that it’s most helpful. “I’m the guy who writes that cat-friendly, snappy, and accessible AI newsletter!”

A bit of a hassle, right? But rumor has it (thank you, Reddit leaks!) that ChatGPT might be cooking up some features to customize your outputs. Here's what's in the works:

My profile: key facts ChatGPT should remember about you (software engineer at FAAMG).
My files: important documents you need ChatGPT to be familiar with (i.e., legal guidelines).

It’s AI … for you!

It’s catching on. Last week, Perplexity launched AI Profiles to tailor search queries to your bio, language, and locale. And let's not forget our friend Pi, the personal AI that really "gets ya."

Why it matters: The best AI assistants will be the ones that require the least prompting. They'll get to know who you are, what you need, and your modus operandi.

Profiles are a good starting point, but we believe the game-changer will be larger context windows (that's nerd-speak for the amount of context ChatGPT can handle).

Meta’s Open-Source “MusicGen” Turns Text Into Songs 🎼

Crank up the volume, folks: text-to-music has arrived!

Meta rolled out MusicGen, its open-source music LLM that generates music based on text and music prompts. To train it, they fed it a whopping 20k hours of licensed music, 10k music tracks, and data from Shutterstock.

It’s the Stable Diffusion/LLaMA moment for music. The buzz is already palpable, with people already customizing their dream soundtracks, like a Lofi remix of Harry Styles. Watermelon sugar, A-I.

Since it’s open-source, anyone can play around with MusicGen on Hugging Face.

We recommend the template: “a [type of music] track with [type of instrument] at [#] BPM in the style of [musician’s] [specific melody/song].”

MusicGen has been reported to interpret prompts more accurately and at a higher resolution than Google’s MusicLM. This thread compares the two, prompt by prompt.

Why it matters: Basically, it's a Pandora's box of infinite new tunes. And since the training data is licensed, creators can strike a chord without worrying about copyright issues.

We're all set to rock 'n' roll with the innovative tunes this will inspire! Bring on the music!
