Adam here! Guiding you through the final month of the year with some emerging stories that are going to lead us into an epic 2024.

We're diving into the swirling rumors about GPT-4.5, revisiting OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, exploring Tesla's latest strides in humanoid robotics, and a Live Test of Gemini and GPT Vision.

1️⃣ GPT-4.5: A New Milestone or Just Rumors?

The buzz around GPT-4.5 continues to grow. Is it a significant upgrade over its predecessor or just industry speculation? Despite the circulating leaks and speculations about its features and improvements, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has denied these claims.

This denial adds a new layer to the story, creating a blend of anticipation and skepticism in the AI community. This article includes all the details you need to know:

2️⃣ OpenAI ChatGPT Plus Subscriptions Reopens

Last month, OpenAI temporarily paused new signups for ChatGPT Plus to ensure a sustainable and high-quality experience for current users.

OpenAI has resumed offering ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, now with a messaging cap for GPT-4 users

ChatGPT Plus, OpenAI's premium service at $20 a month, offers subscribers priority access to newer AI models like GPT-4 and enhanced features including DALL-E's image generation and third-party plug-ins. Those not subscribing miss out on advanced capabilities such as multimodal interactions involving text, image, and voice, as well as the latest updates and improvements in user experience — Learn about ChatGPT Plus.

3️⃣ Tesla's Humanoid Robot: AI to Life!

In a tweet last week, Tesla just revealed their new bot in town! Tesla's showcase of their Optimus robot marks a significant leap in humanoid robotics, promising to transform mundane tasks with its enhanced agility and dexterity—a testament to AI's potential in everyday life.

4️⃣ The Gemini Controversy: A Live Test

In last week’s newsletter with our excitement over Google's Gemini AI showcase, skepticism arose as reports surfaced about the demo being edited, casting doubts on the AI's presented capabilities.

Greg from Greg's Technology provided a comparison, using the real Gemini Pro API and GPT-4 with vision, revealing a noticeable performance gap. The controversy underscores the complexities in AI development and the importance of transparent representation.

What do you think? In the demonstration, the real capabilities of Google's Gemini AI were pitted against GPT-4's vision, leading us to question: How do these technologies truly compare when the curtain of marketing is pulled back?
