Fei-Fei Li, often referred to as the 'godmother of AI', recently spoke at a conference in San Francisco, expressing skepticism about the term Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), describing it as largely meaningless and not based in science. Despite this, OpenAI continues to pursue the development of AGI, having raised $6.6 billion for this mission. OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman predicts that AI will soon evolve into more agent-like models, bringing it closer to AGI capabilities. In related developments, OpenAI has introduced a new Realtime API, which supports text and audio inputs and outputs, and enables real-time communication using WebSockets. This API has been demonstrated to control browsers by voice and to perform web crawling, showcasing significant advancements in AI-driven user interactions. Maxwell Zeff has also contributed to the discussion on AGI. Additionally, OpenAI's o1 model is being used in new AI agents that mimic human cognitive functions.
Brilliant, @rohanpaul_ai ~ Crawl and turn websites into LLM-ready markdown or structured data, no sitemap needed, crawls subpages, delivers clean data, self-hostable + open-source. So many use cases, @firecrawl_dev 🧵👇 https://t.co/tAmX5xXTSQ
Altera’s new AI agents, powered by OpenAI’s o1 model, mimic the human brain with many modules operating in parallel - simulating cognitive functions like attention, memory, and social cognition.
