I love espanso. I live it over AHK as it doesn't have some obscure and hard to learn language, so I can just write some python scripts and trigger them with espanso.

It’s pretty interesting to see both companies copying each other. Bing Chat has GPT4 with Vision, Chat History and some other goodies whereas OpenAI extends towards B2B.

Related work is the planning paper by Valmeekan et al [1]. The gist is that LLMs are incapable of planning, which is due to their autoregressive nature. METAs Head of AI Yann Lecun also talks about this topic in a talk [2]. As RT2 is based on a similar architecture, I think the results will be similar.

I am a beta user and I am seriously impressed if I’m being honest. It works fully offline, is multilingual and is fast, even on the non-latest iPhone (I am using an iPhone 12 Pro Max). It is way better than apples previous version and better than locally installed whisper. They’ve done incredible work. Same with the new, transformer-based keyboard on iOS which is way better. And if you type in English, it sometimes shows word suggestions in the text field itself (similar how copilot works in an IDE).

Russian-run sites like RT are banned through the whole EU. However, such spikes cannot be seen in other EU countries such as France.

I recently re-subbed after I noticed that they increased their monthly cap for searches.

An investment round is interesting—on the one hand, it will keep them afloat, while on the other hand it means that the investors want to see returns one day and this money has to come from somewhere.
