6 Major Generative AI Trends to Watch in 2024


In a recent interview, Microsoft's AI Chief Mustafa Suleyman and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed a notable disparity regarding the timeline for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Altman stated in a Reddit Q&A that AGI could be realized with the current hardware conditions, while Suleyman was skeptical, arguing that the current hardware technology is insufficient to support the development of AGI.
In the coming year of 2025, generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is expected to reach a critical turning point, where we will gain a clearer understanding of its true potential. As analyses of its various applications across industries deepen, the GenAI that was once shrouded in noise will gradually reveal its true nature. Recently, Hieb noted that businesses investing in GenAI do not necessarily have to choose expensive and complex solutions. In fact, more and more companies are discovering that large language models (LLMs) don't always...
Recently, The New York Times conducted an in-depth report on the relationship between OpenAI and its investment partner Microsoft, indicating that their five-year partnership is facing cooling tensions. Key reasons include OpenAI's financial pressures, limited computing power provided by Microsoft, and differences in some fundamental rules.

Small language models are a technology aimed at balancing efficiency and effectiveness, with the goal of achieving performance similar to that of larger models without sacrificing performance.
Alexis Conneau, former chief researcher at OpenAI and head of the GPT-4o project, announced his departure to start a new company, sparking discussions in the AI community. Conneau revealed on social media that after the conclusion of his '#Her project' at OpenAI, he decided to launch a new venture. He humorously responded to inquiries about the timeline for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), suggesting that the new company could bring about 'AGEI'. Conneau has made significant contributions to the field of AI, particularly in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning.
