LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
MIDJOURNEY

The Rundown: AI image generator, Midjourney just rolled out its new "Panning" feature. Similar to their recently launched “Zoom out“ feature, it allows you to extend your images up, down, left, and right by clicking arrow keys.
Details:
Clicking an arrow extends your image in the corresponding direction
The "/settings" command and selecting "Remix mode" allows you to change your prompt as you extend your image
You can pan multiple times on the same image
Current limitations:
No support for variations on panned images
Resolution decreases when zooming out
Inability to pan both horizontally and vertically
Possible repetition when panning
Our take: Another epic update from the highest-quality AI image generator in the market. It’s incredible how the Midjourney team continues to ship huge updates with a tiny team of 11 people.
TOGETHER WITH GISKARD AI
The Rundown: Save time and avoid headaches by detecting hidden problems with your ML model in just four lines of code.
Details:
Use Giskard to identify data leakage, performance biases, overconfidence issues, underconfidence issues, and more
Compatible with Python frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow
Giskard works with any type of model, from tabular to LLMs
NVIDIA

The Rundown: At a keynote speech in Berlin, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang highlighted that accelerated computing, AI-augmented simulation, and interactive digital twins could help climate researchers achieve their goals.
Key points:
NVIDIA's GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip, designed for AI and HPC applications, can accelerate the work of climate researchers
EVE initiative is an international collaboration focusing on digital infrastructure for climate science, HPC, and AI
NVIDIA Modulus, an open-source framework for machine learning models, and FourCastNet, a data-driven weather forecasting model
NVIDIA's technologies promise to make climate knowledge more accessible with digital twins
NVIDIA's Earth-2 initiative aims to support climate researchers and policymakers
Why it matters: There’s a lot of talk about tackling climate change, but results are hard to come by. NVIDIA’s fusion of AI and high-performance computing is taking climate research to the next level.
OXFORD ACADEMIC
Source: Decrypt
The Rundown: A new Oxford Academic report details how data scientists are using AI to translate Cuneiform into English, one of the earliest writing systems in recorded human history.
Details:
AI developers are using NLP to translate cuneiform tablets from Akkadian into English
The oldest surviving literary work, the Epic of Gilgamesh, was written in the Akkadian language using cuneiform script
The researchers developed The Babylonian Engine, a website demonstrating their technology, starting with translations of the Akkadian language
The training model for the Babylonian Engine AI, Akkademia, is open-sourced and viewable on the project's GitHub
Why it matters: Understanding these writings using AI will provide a true picture of the past. Who knows what we’ll truly uncover.
