4. Microsoft’s Impressive Phi-2 Model
Even as some players work on ever bigger models, the race to shrink models to fit on devices heats up as well. Microsoft Research has just released a non-commercial version of Phi-2, a 2.7B parameter model that, although designed to run on a laptop or phone, can outperform some larger models including Llama 2 and Mistral 7B.
Mistral-7B is cool but you know what's cooler? A more powerful model in just 1/3rd of the size!
Welcome to Phi-2.
This is something our team at Microsoft Research had been tirelessly working on and now we have more numbers comparing with Llama-7B, 13B, 70B and Gemini Nano. 👇

2. Midjourney Alpha
For people who have created more than 10,000 images, Midjourney’s web experience is finally available. Early reports are that it’s MUCH better than generating inside Discord.
Midjourney Alpha is officially here!!
If you've generated 10k or more images you should have access.
This is still the alpha, so things may change a bit. But here is a quick look at image creation on the web.
BYE BYE DISCORD 👋

1. Is ChatGPT Lazy Because of Christmas?
Here’s something fascinating and unexpected. It appears that ChatGPT may be acting more “lazy” right now because it understands that it is a quieter holiday season. Something similar might be happening on weekends (off work times) as well. Wild.
we've heard all your feedback about GPT4 getting lazier! we haven't updated the model since Nov 11th, and this certainly isn't intentional. model behavior can be unpredictable, and we're looking into fixing it 🫡
