Starting today, memory in ChatGPT can now reference all of your past chats to provide more personalized responses, drawing on your preferences and interests to make it even more helpful for writing, getting advice, learning, and beyond.

🧵 China’s DeepSeek just launched a game-changing AI breakthrough that’s turning the tech world on its head. I spent some time trying to understand it from a layman’s perspective. Here’s what this development could mean for those in Africa (using the hypothetical example of a young creative in Uganda).

[Jackie Nnam @jackiennam]

Wow! Well done @TheMutambuze This opens up a whole lot of exciting possibilities

LugandaGPT // I Built The First Luganda Voice Assistant

I have been observing AI from a distance since ChatGPT was released. But last month, in December, I grasped its true power and potential.

So, last month, I made AI my focus and read everything I could find to help me understand AI from a foundational level. I haven’t figured out everything yet, but I have learned enough to create solutions with it.

Experience is the best teacher, so I learned by building LugandaGPT, the first Luganda voice assistant. If any other one exists, I have neither seen nor heard of it.

I hope my demo inspires you.

Be blessed.

PS: To learn how I built the Luganda GPT, send an email to learning [at] audersity [dot] com

The first paragraph is the most important aspect of an essay or literature review. But, most students don't know how to structure a first class essay.

This is a fundamental layout that students can replicate for their next academic writing:

[UCC @UCC_Official]

A task force on Artificial Intelliegence made up of experts from within @UCC_Official & academia has been launched this morning.

The task force will develop a comprehensive concept note addressing various aspects of #AI to inform relevant interventions.

@UCC_ED said #AI is a tool of transformation once harnessed adequately & the regulator must remain on top of it to advise government appropriately.

Introducing GPT-4o, our new model which can reason across text, audio, and video in real time.

It's extremely versatile, fun to play with, and is a step towards a much more natural form of human-computer interaction (and even human-computer-computer interaction):
