Read time: 5 minutes
The legal drama between Elon Musk and OpenAI returns for Round 4, now with Microsoft and former board members added to the fray. Could these new allegations disrupt OpenAI’s journey toward becoming a for-profit powerhouse?

AI INSIGHTS
🤖 Comparison of 'Overall' Ranking to Specific Tasks
Chatbot Arena publishes category-based ratings for prompts like Maths, Coding, and Creative Writing, along with adjustments for 'style', showing the model's core performance on specific tasks. Peter Gostev examined whether some labs are under- or over-estimated by the 'Overall' rating across different tasks. Let's take a look at the results.
Bars pointing left (negative) are over-estimated by the 'Overall' rating, bars pointing right (positive) are under-estimated.
Key takeaways:
OpenAI models tend to be under-estimated (they perform better when considering individual ratings).
xAI, Google, Meta, 01 (lab, not model), Cohere, and Nvidia are often over-estimated.
DeepSeek, Mistral, and Alibaba's Qwen models are under-estimated.
Anthropic's ratings are mixed, with an interesting over-estimation in creative writing.
Why it matters: The chart doesn’t rank AI models; it just shows that their performance can be better than their overall ranking suggests, though they often rank lower. As a tip, for the best models, check out the "Hard with Style Control" category, where Sonnet 3.6, o1-preview, and Google-Exp-1121 are tied for first. This aligns more closely with my intuition about the top models.

AI HIGHLIGHTS
⚖️ Elon Musk has filed a legal request to block OpenAI’s shift to a for-profit model. He accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of stifling competition, including blocking investors from supporting rivals like xAI. Musk claims they are violating antitrust laws by having shared board members, allowing them to exchange sensitive information.
🌍 Meta is building a $10B subsea cable, spanning 40,000+ km, to improve AI and internet infrastructure. The cable aims to strengthen AI and global internet traffic.
👤 Panasonic brings back Matsushita’s wisdom through an AI avatar, answering questions on life and business, 35 years after his death.
🔒 AI companies like Meta claim their models are "open source," but only release the final model and benchmark results, keeping the data, code, and infrastructure hidden. True openness means sharing everything and allowing others to use the models independently. Until now, AI2AI2’s OLMo 2 is an example of a genuinely open-source AI system.
🤖 Google DeepMind researchers have unveiled a new framework called ‘Boundless Socratic Learning,’ which allows AI systems to enhance themselves through language-based interactions, without needing external data or human feedback.
❌ For some unknown reason, ChatGPT refuses to say the name "David Mayer." You can give it a try and the chat crashes with a red error message.
⚠️ It's been about a week since ChatGPT stopped being able to generate images or read files, images, and links. Furthermore, OpenAI appears to be ignoring the user's report in the community. Do you have the same issue?

AI PROMPT
A Prompt That Makes ChatGPT Write Naturally (Confirm it Works)
Use simple language: Write plainly with short sentences.
- Example: "I need help with this issue."
Avoid AI-giveaway phrases: Don't use clichés like "dive into," "unleash your potential," etc.
- Avoid: "Let's dive into this game-changing solution."
- Use instead: "Here's how it works."
Be direct and concise: Get to the point; remove unnecessary words.
- Example: "We should meet tomorrow."
Maintain a natural tone: Write as you normally speak; it's okay to start sentences with "and" or "but."
- Example: "And that's why it matters."
Avoid marketing language: Don't use hype or promotional words.
- Avoid: "This revolutionary product will transform your life."
- Use instead: "This product can help you."
Keep it real: Be honest; don't force friendliness.
- Example: "I don't think that's the best idea."
Simplify grammar: Don't stress about perfect grammar; it's fine not to capitalize "i" if that's your style.
- Example: "i guess we can try that."
Stay away from fluff: Avoid unnecessary adjectives and adverbs.
- Example: "We finished the task."
Focus on clarity: Make your message easy to understand.
- Example: "Please send the file by Monday."AI JOBS
