Try it out for yourself: An OpenAI API key is all you need. Merlin explores the intersection of LLMs and writing in a way that preserves the author's voice and creativity. This is just a prototype of what is possible. Let me know what you think!

Congrats! Amazing!

English only?

Multilingual support is fairly strong with GPT-4 and pretty good with GPT-3!

@DeepLcom Write is doing the same.

Shubham Patil3 years ago

What is the accuracy rate here (guessing it's pretty good because of gpt-4)

Varun Shenoy3 years ago

Hard to judge what accuracy would be in this context, but GPT-4 gives much richer suggestions than GPT-3.

How good is GPT-4-Vision at extracting text from images? I wanted to find the limit - but I found weirdness instead Most surprising: GPT-4V performance varies depending on the *structure* of text it sees Let me explain A set of images with progressively more text was presented to GPT-4-Vision. GPT-4V was asked what text it saw in the image. The response from the model was compared against the image’s original text and scored for similarity. The model was tested with 4 types of text: essay, random words, random tokens, and random characters. Findings: * Performance degrades - Yes, the models are good at basic OCR, but as you get more text and words then performance drops (this is expected) * Type of context matters - You should expect different recall on your texts based on your context types * Hallucination Errors - I thought that the model would make errors of omission (it wouldn’t return all the words). But instead the model mostly made hallucination errors - it replaced words with made up words. * Evals Matter - This test in isolation doesn’t mean that your data will have the same results, but it should motivate you to create eval tests for your data and anticipate errors which are hard to spot Notes: * Next step would be to add additional image types like tables or PDFs * GPT-4V would routinely get stuck in repeat-token-loops when trying to extract random tokens * GPT-4V would refuse to answer most random character images

New short course: Collaborative Writing and Coding with OpenAI Canvas! Explore new ways to write and code with OpenAI Canvas, a user-friendly interface that allows you to brainstorm, draft, and refine text and code in collaboration with ChatGPT. In the short course, created with OpenAI, and taught by , a research lead at OpenAI, you’ll learn to use Canvas to enhance your workflows. Canvas lets you go beyond simple chat interactions. It provides a side-by-side workspace where you and ChatGPT can edit and refine text or code collaboratively. This makes brainstorming, drafting, and iterating as you write feel more natural and effective. As the first major update to ChatGPT’s visual interface since its launch in 2022, Canvas gives a new, innovative approach to collaboration with AI. For instance, after writing the first version of your code, Canvas can review it and give suggestions for improvement. It can also help with debugging by adding logging, identifying problems to fix, and writing comments. In addition, you'll also learn what it takes to train the model for an interface like Canvas. In this video-only short course, you’ll: - Learn how to ask for in-line feedback and control the iteration of your work by directly editing selected areas of your text or code from the model’s output. - Learn how to access quick automation tools in a shortcut menu that allows you to modify your writing tone and length, enhance your code, and restore previous versions of your work. - Learn how to use Canvas as a research assistant tool with an example of asking the model to reason through the screenshot of a plot to write a research report, in which you can ask questions within the created report. - Ask the model to write Python code to replicate the graph seen on a screenshot image. - Go behind the scenes of how you can create a video game, such as Space Battleship, from scratch, edit it, and display it in one self-contained HTML file. - Get a real-world application example of creating a SQL database from the image of its architecture. - Understand the model training and design processes that power Canvas!

Imagine an AI application that can type anywhere you can and use the full context of what's on your screen. This is the application we all deserve (at least if you have macOS.) Check out Omnipilot. It's an app that works with every other macOS application and uses Claude Sonet 3.5 in the background—it also supports Gemini and GPT-4o. Here is the idea: You can use the tool to ask questions about anything on your screen. Or you can use it to autocomplete the text you are typing. You don't need to copy and paste anymore or waste your time providing context to a model. It sees what you see. It works right where you are. That's pretty cool. Here are a couple of cool examples: • Use it to reply to an email • Use it in the terminal to autocomplete a command • Use it to finish a document • Use to send a message on Slack AI at the system level is bonkers. You can read a ton more on their Product Hunt launch page: Thanks to the Omnipilot team for collaborating with me on this post!

Introducing FlowSpeech: The World’s First TTS to Turn Written Text into Natural Speech Every other TTS service on the market today simply reads the text word-for-word. It’s like giving a presentation by just reading your PowerPoint slides out loud. It doesn’t work. You need to present it naturally, in your own words. And that’s the principle behind FlowSpeech. FlowSpeech is the world’s first TTS that can transform formal written text into conversational, spoken language. A TTS that actually sounds human. That might sound a bit abstract, so let your ears be the judge.
