🎥  Does Google Overhype its Veo 2 Physics Capabilities?

Google’s Veo 2 is a state-of-the-art video generation AI that “brings an improved understanding of real-world physics and the nuances of human movement and expression.” This video puts to the test exactly how precise this machine’s outputs are when it comes to following the laws of physics.

🧑‍🔬  Evaluating LLMs Christmas Emails and Robustly Generated AI Recipes

Aligning Human and LLM Judgments: Insights from EvalAssist on Task-Specific Evaluations and AI-assisted Assessment Strategy Preferences - Evaluation of large language model (LLM) outputs requires users to make critical judgments about the best outputs across various configurations. In tasks like writing Christmas emails, LLMs are judged by machine learning practitioners. The results were quite surprising!

Cook-Gen: Robust Generative Modeling of Cooking Actions from Recipes - This paper explores the use of generative AI methods to extend current food computation models, primarily involving the analysis of nutrition and ingredients, to also incorporate cooking actions, which are notoriously hard to model.

⚡ What is a Voice AI Agent?

What is a Voice AI Agent? - From Y Combinator, to Bessemer, to individual developers, many innovators are calling for the next generation of Voice AI technology. In fact, the IVR market alone is worth $6 billion—and that’s before considering applications like audiobooks, podcasts, translation, and dubbing.

This article will take you through what Voice AI Agents exactly do, what their use cases are, and how you can use them to enhance your productivity. Check it out here!
