What's up? You're reading Inclined AI. You made it to Friday! That’s the good news. The bad news is that YouTube is going to allow 30-second ads 🙄

Here's the gist:

• Meet the ChatGPT app for iOS

• Meta wants to be the open-source king

CHATGPT GOES MOBILE

Since the day OpenAI announced ChatGPT, people have asked when it’d be available as an app.

Today is that day. Happy Friday, and check out the app here.

Every impersonator on the app store is feeling the heat now, and the product does live up to expectations. We tested it all day yesterday and can attest to the sleek user interface and easy navigation.

To the Android users out there, you’ll get a shot at trying this out soon. OpenAI’s announcement promises that that version is on the way.

The app also incorporates Whisper into the product. That means you can speak to the model on your phone, and the ChatGPT app will turn it into text for the prompt.

I’ve never felt more like Tony Stark in my life.

GPT-4 is available in the iOS version if you're a Plus user. However, the ability to use the browsing tool and plugins is not there. Bummer, but hopefully, you are enjoying those on your desktop now (that rollout should be complete).

The move is another signal that OpenAI is moving fast to retain its massive growth in users and keep people using ChatGPT.

Google is powering up Bard, and Anthropic is trying to make Claude competitive. Building something users want and doing it well keeps OpenAI ahead in this fierce competition.

Try out the mobile app, and let us know your thoughts!

META STEERS INTO OPEN-SOURCE TO SEPARATE FROM THE TOP DOGS

AI competition is heating up, and Meta does not want to get left out in the cold. The company formerly known as Facebook is taking a bold approach to AI strategy.

Thursday was a media circus day for Meta. They got news circulating across major outlets that made talking about them unavoidable.

For instance, they announced a new code-generating AI similar to Microsoft’s Copilot and pushed their chips to the table to build a supercomputer and produce more AI computer chips. 

Mark Zuckerberg wants a seat at the table.

The list of CEOs who attended the meeting at the White House did not include poor Zuck, and their lack of AI tooling and features is turning the company into an afterthought.

But their article in the New York Times attempts to change everything. Meta wants to be the good guy in this story.

To do that, they’ve pushed on open-source and released LLaMA to developers so they can make their own conversational AI.

You remember LLaMA, right? Well, it turns out they took on a lot of risks when the weights got leaked for training data.

Executives at Google and OpenAI criticized the move. Since letting people build their trackless AI bots means more trouble for everyone in the industry.

However, Meta argues it pushes progress faster and is a more fair way to develop AI. 

You can decide whose right, but this media push tells us one thing above all else.

Meta wants in on the conversation, and the best way to do that is to keep pushing the open-source debate.
