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:

  • 🔥 OpenAI releases GPT-4 API

  • 🎵 TikTok creates AI music generator

  • ❌ Temporarily Halting ChatGPT Browsing

OpenAI has announced a milestone that will supercharge your AI journey - the GPT-4 API is now available to all paying customers! Wave goodbye to older models in the Completions API, as they are moving forward with the Chat Completions API within the next six months.

This new GPT-4 API will allow builders to upgrade their tools to this new technology everywhere. Fine-tuning for GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 Turbo is on the horizon for later this year. Applications using stable model names for base GPT-3 models will be automatically upgraded to newer models on January 4, 2024.

Stay tuned and prepare for a whole new level of AI possibilities, with priority access granted to those who've previously fine-tuned older models.

Get ready to make noise for TikTok’s latest innovation - Ripple, the AI-driven music generator. Here's the breakdown:

  • A music creation tool, Ripple transforms your simple hums into full-fledged tracks.

  • While it can't handle vocals, it's a boon for artists needing instrumental accompaniment.

  • Not just a music generator, it also provides a 'virtual recording studio' to fine-tune your tunes.

  • And the kicker? Your Ripple-made tracks can be directly used on TikTok.

ByteDance redefines music creation, making it as easy as humming your favorite melody. Stay tuned for more updates on this revolutionary app.

Temporarily Halting ChatGPT Browsing

OpenAI has hit the pause button on ChatGPT's browsing beta feature due to unexpected paywall bypassing abilities. Despite this move, critics claim it's more of a clumsy PR stunt than a well-considered solution to a broader issue. The implications of ChatGPT's actions extend far beyond mere paywalls and touch upon the future of web content monetization.

Here's what you need to know:

  • The browsing beta for ChatGPT Plus users has been disabled following its unintentional bypassing of website paywalls.

  • Critics argue that OpenAI's move is more of a reputation protection act than a genuine step towards addressing broader content creator rights.

  • While OpenAI's commitment to upholding creators' financial rights is noteworthy, the real challenge lies in addressing the broader implications of AI's interactions with web content.

  • Despite the outcry, paywall workarounds are commonplace on the web. OpenAI's next big test is to find a balance that respects content creators in our rapidly evolving digital age.
