Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI has officially released its application programming interface (API), which allows developers to integrate Grok into other applications. Musk made the announcement on Monday, posting a link to the interface on the xAI website. Previously, Musk had confirmed plans to provide an API for Grok in August and open-sourced the software's weights in March. To view and use the API, users must log into their xAI account and select "Request Ac...

French AI startup Mistral AI has launched a new free package that lets developers fine-tune and build test applications using the startup's AI models, the company announced in a blog post on Tuesday. The startup has also dramatically slashed the price for developers to access its AI models via API endpoints and added image processing capabilities to its free consumer AI chatbot, Le Chat. Mistral has launched a free package through its API services platform, la Plateforme, which allows developers to experiment without cost, review...

OpenAI has introduced a new feature, Structured Outputs, which aims to make the output generated by the model strictly follow the JSON schema provided by the developer. At last year's DevDay, OpenAI first introduced JSON Schema, which provides an important foundation for developers to build reliable applications. Although JSON Schema improves the reliability of models generating valid JSON outputs, it does not ensure that the model's response conforms to a specific schema. Today's Structured Outputs feature…

Apple has pushed iOS18.1 and iPadOS18.1 developer preview Beta updates to iPhone and iPad users. The most important new feature is the preview of Apple Intelligence, which means that Apple Intelligence will be available to users using iOS18.1 and macOS Sequoia15.1. However, some features such as more advanced Siri are not available yet. Only Macs and iPads equipped with M1 chips or higher, or iP…

According to a global study released by cloud security company Checkmarx, although 15% of companies explicitly prohibit the use of AI programming tools, almost all development teams (99%) are still using these tools. This phenomenon reflects the difficulty of controlling the use of generative AI in the actual development process. The study found that only 29% of companies have established any form of governance system for generative AI tools. 70% of companies do not have a central strategy, and procurement decisions by various departments are often ad hoc and lack unified management. As more and more developers use AI programming tools, security issues...

While the news of Llama 3.1 open source is still ringing in our ears, OpenAI is here to steal the spotlight again. From now on, 2 million training tokens per day will be used to fine-tune the model for free until September 23. This is not only a generous contribution to developers, but also a bold push for the advancement of AI technology. The advent of GPT-4o mini has excited countless developers. It ranks first with GPT-4o in the LMSYS ranking of the large model arena. It has powerful performance and is only 1/20 of the price of GPT-4o. This move by OpenAI is undoubtedly a major move in the field of AI…

According to Stack Overflow's latest 2024 Developer Survey, feedback from more than 65,000 developers worldwide shows that although the use of generative AI in the software development industry continues to rise, developers' trust in this technology has dropped significantly. The report pointed out that in 2024, the proportion of developers using AI tools has risen to 76%, while the favorability of AI has dropped from 77% last year to 72%. Source Note: The image is generated by AI, and the image licensing service provider Midjourney's survey shows that most developers are not worried about...

The Huawei Developer Conference is scheduled to be held in Songshan Lake, Dongguan from June 21 to 23. It will witness the first joint presentation of Pangu Big Model 5.0 and HarmonyOS NEXT Hongmeng Galaxy Edition. Pangu Big Model series, as a series of pre-trained big models carefully built by Huawei, covers multiple fields such as natural language processing (NLP), computer vision (CV) and scientific computing. These models have demonstrated excellent language understanding and generation capabilities through large-scale data training, and can be widely used in natural language processing tasks such as text generation, question-answering systems, and machine translation. In the...

Cohere has released a developer toolkit designed to speed up the process of building generative AI applications for the enterprise. The toolkit includes an open source repository that can immediately deploy applications on any cloud provider. It also includes components designed for "building unique applications and deploying them at scale." "A core challenge in building AI applications is that developers need to integrate AI models, prompt templates, retrieval pipelines, and...

OpenAI launched the Batch batch processing API for developers this morning, which can give results within 24 hours and provide a 50% discount on the API. The new Batch API is suitable for asynchronous task processing. For example, when developers need to process a large amount of text, pictures, and summaries, they can use this API, and OpenAI will give the processing results within 24 hours. In this way, OpenAI can process during off-peak hours, save server resources, and provide developers with a 50% discount to unlock higher rate limits. The new Batch API…

Intel announced that they will further advance their AI PC acceleration program with the launch of a new AI PC Developer Program, providing a variety of new toolkits and development kits for software and hardware AI developers. Initially launched on October 23, Intel's goal is to maximize the potential of AI applications and software and broaden the entire AI-focused PC ecosystem by deploying AI in 100 million Intel-powered AI PCs by 2025. AI PC Developer Program...
