Good morning, aspiring leaders of the next-gen! ☀️

🚀 Here’s what’s going on today in the AI space…

EvolutionaryScale, a startup specializing in generating novel proteins for scientific use, has raised $142 million. Backed by Amazon, Nvidia, and others, it introduced ESM3, a model designed for biological applications like drug discovery. This development aims to streamline and enhance protein design, potentially transforming various scientific and medical fields.

Google has enhanced Gmail with Gemini AI, introducing features like email drafting and summarizing email threads. This AI integration extends to other Google Workspace tools, aiming to streamline tasks and improve productivity for users with specific subscriptions.

Stability AI has announced Prem Akkaraju as the new CEO and revealed an $80 million funding round. Despite recent high-level departures, the company continues to innovate in AI-driven media creation, including launching Stable Audio Open for generating sound effects via AI. The company, known for its open-source Stable Diffusion models, aims to cater to both creative professionals and enterprise clients with tailored AI solutions.

Harari writes about a "cognitive revolution" that supposedly occurred roughly 70,000 years ago when Homo sapiens supplanted the rival Neanderthals and other species of the genus Homo, developed language skills and structured societies, and ascended as apex predators, aided by the agricultural revolution and accelerated by the scientific revolution, which have allowed humans to approach near mastery over their environment.

Jobright: AI-Powered Job Search for Foreign Workers in the U.S.

Job searching in the U.S. can be particularly challenging for non-immigrants, who must not only compete on their resumes but also find postings that sponsor work visas. With the H-1B lottery being highly competitive, securing a job within the 60-day grace period after losing one can be daunting.

California-based startup Jobright.ai, co-founded by Eric Cheng, aims to simplify this process. As an immigrant himself, Cheng understands the struggles foreign workers face. Jobright’s standout feature is its "H1-B filter," which identifies job postings that offer visa sponsorships, using USCIS data. This has made the platform popular among job seekers from India and China.

Since its launch in April, Jobright has gained 50,000 users, 30% of whom are foreign workers. The AI-powered platform acts as a personalized headhunter, recommending jobs based on candidates' experiences and scoring them for compatibility. It also helps users find LinkedIn contacts for job referrals.

Despite competition in the AI job search market, Jobright focuses on mid- to senior-level professionals, offering personalized job search strategies. Unlike LinkedIn, which is primarily a social network, Jobright is designed to be AI-native, providing data-driven recommendations and user experiences.

Jobright has raised $4.5 million from investors like Lanchi Venture and plans to expand its user base beyond the U.S., continuing to innovate and support foreign workers in navigating the job market.

Building AI Agents: Lessons Learned Over the Past Year

Patrick Dougherty, an expert in AI development, shares insights from a year-long journey in building AI agents at Zeta Labs. The process has been a roller coaster, marked by excitement, anticipation, frustration, and ultimately pride as stability and performance were achieved across diverse data sources and businesses.

Key Highlights:

• Definition and Scope: AI agents, similar to OpenAI’s GPTs or assistants, can be built with any capable model like Claude from Anthropic or Cohere's Command R+. They automate tasks using "tool calls" to perform specific actions, such as fetching weather data or looking up information.

• Building Process: Constructing an AI agent involves coding a system prompt, initiating conversations, making model completions, handling tool calls, and iterating this loop until the task is complete.

• Reasoning Over Knowledge: Emphasize reasoning skills over mere knowledge. AI agents should focus on thinking through problems, rather than just recalling data.

• Iterative Interface Design: The agent-computer interface (ACI) is critical. Fine-tuning the syntax and structure of tool calls can significantly improve an agent's performance.

• Model Limitations: The performance of AI agents is heavily dependent on the underlying models. Superior models like GPT-4 provide better decision-making and task execution than their predecessors.

• Fine-Tuning Caution: Fine-tuning models can sometimes hinder an agent's reasoning ability, leading it to rely too heavily on specific examples rather than general problem-solving.

• Ownership and Flexibility: Owning each model call and avoiding third-party abstractions like LangChain ensures better control and scalability.

• Supporting Infrastructure: Building a successful AI agent product involves robust security, data connectors, user interfaces, long-term memory, and evaluation frameworks.

• Future-Proofing: Stay adaptable to new models and improvements in AI technology to maintain a competitive edge.

Dougherty's experience highlights the complexities and opportunities in developing AI agents, emphasizing a balance between innovation and practical implementation.

⚡ ChatGPT Prompting

This prompt is great because it:

1. Specifies the task clearly (summarize key points).

2. Provides context (latest advancements in AI technology).

3. Identifies the main focus areas (improvements in algorithms, applications, future trends).

4. Sets a word limit (around 150 words).

5. Defines the target audience (tech-savvy).

Effective prompts like this ensure ChatGPT can provide the most relevant and useful response.

Example:

Please summarize the key points from this article about the latest advancements in AI technology, focusing on improvements in machine learning algorithms, real-world applications, and future trends. The summary should be concise, around 150 words, and suitable for a tech-savvy audience.
