TODAY’S DEFINITION
Token
A token is the smallest unit of text used by language processing models, and it can be a word or part of a word. Generally, in English 1 word equals about 1.3 tokens, while in French and Spanish, 1 word represents about 2 tokens.
THE BIG STORY
🚀 Artificial superintelligence on the horizon
Artificial intelligence is advancing by leaps and bounds, and where it goes next could well surprise us. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, foresees the emergence of superintelligent AI in the near future, paving the way for an era of unprecedented possibilities.
Details:
-
Solving complex problems with advanced AI tools
-
Building personalized virtual teams of AI experts
-
Future applications: personalized AI tutors, better healthcare
-
The need for abundant computing power and energy
Why I’m telling you about this ⤵️
Altman’s vision deserves our attention. As the head of OpenAI, he has deep knowledge of what AI can do today. While the exact timeline remains uncertain, the arrival of superintelligence seems inevitable. Whether it shows up in 5, 10 or 30 years, it promises to radically transform our world. It’s crucial to follow these developments so we can anticipate and prepare for the changes ahead.
🗣️ EVI 2: The conversational AI pushing the limits of realism
Hume AI just unveiled EVI 2, a new voice-to-voice model that simulates surprisingly natural conversations. This innovation focuses on emotional intelligence, delivering a voice interaction experience close to what you might have with a human being.
Details:
-
EVI 2 stands out for its ability to take on different personalities and accents, while supporting multiple languages. It’s like having a multilingual actor at your service.
-
The model handles a whole range of vocal intonations and adapts to specific requests. Whether you want it to speak more slowly or even do a rap impression, EVI 2 is up for the challenge.
-
By analyzing the user’s tone of voice, EVI 2 adjusts its responses to the emotional mood of the conversation, creating a more authentic and empathetic dialogue.
-
Mindful of ethical concerns, the model avoids direct voice cloning. Instead, it lets you create synthetic voices by tweaking base voices for gender, nasality and pitch.
Why I’m telling you about this ⤵️
EVI 2 is a significant step forward for conversational AI. Its ability to understand and reproduce emotional nuance opens up new possibilities for more natural and engaging human-machine interactions. Whether it’s improving customer service, building more empathetic virtual assistants, or even developing new language-learning tools, the potential applications are vast. If you’re curious to explore this technology, you can try EVI 2 directly on the Hume AI platform. Feel free to email me if you’d like a more in-depth tutorial on using this fascinating tool.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS
🐳 AI dives deep to decode whale song
Google Research has developed a new AI model that can identify the calls of eight distinct whale species. This technological feat opens up exciting new possibilities for marine conservation and for our understanding of these giants of the sea.
Details:
-
The model can recognize 12 different types of calls, covering an impressive acoustic range from 10 Hz to over 120 kHz.
-
Among the sounds identified is the mysterious “Biotwang“, recently attributed to Bryde’s whales after decades as an enigma.
-
The tool is designed to improve whale population tracking through passive acoustic monitoring.
-
Google has made the model available for download on Kaggle Models, so researchers and conservationists can use it in their studies.
Why I’m telling you about this ⤵️
This breakthrough shows how AI can be put to work for biodiversity and the protection of endangered species. By helping us better understand whale behavior and movements, this model could contribute to more effective conservation strategies. It’s a concrete example of the positive impact technology can have on how we understand and protect marine life.
