💼 For six months, employees from 45 companies worked one day less with the same salary. Their productivity increased, and their physical and mental health significantly improved.

⚖️ The companies also benefited. Profits remained the same, and it became easier to attract new employees.

➖ The downside: nobody wants to work on Fridays anymore.

🤖 OpenAI's new model accelerates media generation for GAI by 50 times.

🖼 Researchers at OpenAI have developed a new type of model, sCM, which accelerates media generation by 50 times compared to traditional diffusion models. The sCM approach creates images in almost a tenth of a second on a single A100 GPU, compared to over 5 seconds for regular diffusion. The new technology generates high-quality samples in just two sampling steps instead of hundreds, significantly reducing computational costs. This makes real-time AI generative applications much more feasible.
