The AI News For February 24.
Perplexity teases their ‘Comet’ browser, Claude 3.7 is released, Luma Labs adds audio into their video and Elon Musk makes a bold prediction here’s today’s AI news. Perplexity has announced that they are about to release ‘Comet’, a brand new browser experience that they refer to as an ‘agentic browser’.
This is a big, bold move from Perplexity. They’ve already had some impressive search tools available in their models, but this is something different. A standalone offering is looking to disrupt the search market in a meaningful way. Can they really change the search habits of users on a large enough scale to make a difference?
We shall see. Anthropic has released their latest model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, their most intelligent model to date and the first Claude model to offer extended thinking this year. Chain of Thought Style reasoning has been a big breakthrough for models that are looking to solve more complex tasks.
So while it may not be Claude 4 yet, this should be a big step forward for the Claude models have already won many fans. Luma Labs are the latest generative AI player to build sound creation directly into their video creation workflows. If we know Luma Labs, then we know this is likely to be a very high quality offering.
And finally, Elon Musk was feeling bold with his predictions today when he posted on X “We are on the event horizon of the singularity.” Obviously, no one really knows what this is in reference to, but Grok 3 has been on fire recently, so maybe he’s seeing something in their research.
