In a week where the big story is someone finally releasing a GPT-4 level model, The Information reports that behind the scenes, OpenAI is pursuing a totally different type of focus: AI agents.
OpenAI's next battleground: AI agents.

1. Bard is Officially Gemini, and Ultra is Here!
The recent leak was true! Bard has been renamed Gemini, and just like Microsoft has consolidated all AI under the “Copilot” brand, Google is doing the same with the Gemini name. They’re releasing a Gemini App for Android and making Gemini’s Ultra model (the GPT-4 level model) available to the public with a subscription.
Today, Bard becomes Gemini.
Available on web () and mobile (new app in Play Store, Google app on iOS) - starting to roll out today.
AND introducing Gemini Advanced - access to our most capable model (Ultra 1.0)
