Howdy, AI aficionados! Brace yourselves, as it's that time of the week again. Pure Future Weekly Newsletter is back with your source for what is happening in AI.

It’s Friday! Let’s get it:

  • ⚔️ Microsoft’s AI Game-Changer, Phi-1 Outperforms GPT-3.5

  • 🌩️ AI Privacy Storm: Microsoft & OpenAI Face Legal Heat

  • 🚀 Big News: OpenAI Improves ChatGPT iOS App with Bing Web Browsing!

Has that pesky post-send regret ever haunted you after dispatching a crucial email only to discover an embarrassing typo? Say goodbye to those mortifying moments with Grammarly.

Despite its smaller size, Microsoft researchers have pushed AI boundaries with Phi-1, a lightweight, data-driven AI model that outshines GPT-3.5. Quality data is the secret behind Phi-1's success, demonstrating the unparalleled power of "textbook-quality" information in enhancing code-generation tasks.

They've also unveiled ZeRO++, a cutting-edge method that optimizes pre-training and fine-tuning of large AI models, promising a 4x reduction in communication volume and improved throughput even in low-bandwidth clusters.

Stay tuned as Microsoft continues its AI evolution. ZeRO++ is now accessible via GitHub, with a chat version coming soon.

Tech giants Microsoft and OpenAI are entangled in a $3 billion legal battle, accused by 16 individuals of illegally collecting and disclosing personal data through their AI products.

The plaintiffs allege the tech behemoths ignored legal routes for data collection and instead 'scraped' billions of words, including private info, from the web. This contentious lawsuit follows a similar claim against the companies for license violations.

This storm isn't over. We will keep you updated on this future legal battle.

Fantastic news for all ChatGPT Plus users on iOS - OpenAI has just integrated the Bing web browsing feature into your beloved app!

Now, your AI-powered companion can keep you updated with information that is even more current than its training data. All you must do is hop over to the "New Features" section and enable web browsing with Bing. This exciting upgrade comes as part of OpenAI's fruitful partnership with Microsoft.
