In the era of generative AI, people have relied on LLM products such as ChatGPT to help with tasks. For example, we can quickly summarize our conversation or answer the hard questions. However, sometimes, the generated text is not accurate and irrelevant. The RAG technique is emerging to help solve the problem above. Using the external knowledge source, an LLM can gain context not present in its data training. This method will enhance model accuracy and allow the model to access real-time data.
For marketing, data science, and technology professionals, assimilating the mechanisms and applications of LLMs is now a must-have. In fact, enroll in a data science course that covers natural language processing (NLP here) and generative AI, and it will transform many things for a person wishing to lead this rapidly changing field.
Sometimes, we do things without thinking because that is what our forefathers have taught us; we walk the well-trod path before us without question ā lemmings doing lemming things. S3 from AWS is one of those things. We use it a thousand times a day; it is a critical path and component of our Data Platform and Pipelines. If it disappeared, we would come to a collective grinding halt.

When asked if OpenAI would join in the bidding if Google had to sell Chrome, OpenAI's head of product for ChatGPT Nick Turley said unequivocally that the company would. OpenAI has reportedly been considering building its own Chromium-based browser to compete with Chrome. Having a browser would give OpenAI a massive install base of users and the user data flowing through the browser would be invaluable in training agentic AI models that can operate browsers on users' behalf.

Turn yourself into a tiny chibi capsule character
ChatGPT 4o is now incredibly good at generating realistic memes and visual content, and one of the latest trendsāAnime-style Chibi figuresāis gaining traction fast. Hereās how you can join in and start creating your own.
Go to ChatGPT and choose 4o as your model.
Upload a clear, sharp, and colorful photo of yourself or someone else. The face should be fully visible, and itās even better if part of the outfit is also shown.
Use the prompt:
Generate a portrait image of a detailed, all-glass gashapon capsule held between two fingers. Inside the capsule is a miniature version of myself, chibi-style and life-size, with the same face as the person in the photo. The chibi character is wearing: [describe clothes and accessories], or simply say āthe same outfit as seen in the uploaded photo.ā
Make sure the design emphasizes the realism of the capsule and the collectible charm of the chibi figure inside.
Feel free to tweak the promptāchange the pose, add a background, or customize it however you like.
