[Product Hunt]( [Read in browser]( [This newsletter is brought to you by]( GOOD MEWS Happy Tuesday! This digest comes from sunny (foggy) San Francisco as the Product Hunt team gets together for some IRL co-working sessions. Here’s some news: 🤖 [Google has confirmed it’s restricting Gemini election queries worldwide](. 🍎 [Apple will now allow iOS downloads directly from sites within the EU](. 📸 [TikTok may be working on an Instagram competitor, according to this leak](. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT [Built by Deepmind and LinkedIn co-founders, this new modal is a more human-like GPT-4]( A lot can happen in a week, especially if you’re an AI model. In just seven short days, not one, but two new large language models (LLMs) have dropped that could potentially challenge GPT-4 for its crown. First, it was Anthropic dropping [a suite of new models]( and now Inflection AI is getting in on the fun. The startup, founded by Deepmind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, which [raised a huge $1.3 billion last year](, announced its latest flagship model, [Inflection-2.5](. Built on the learnings of Inflection-1, Inflection-2.5 is designed to take on AI heavyweights like [GPT-4]( and [Google’s Gemini](. It outperforms the company’s original model fairly significantly and gets close to GPT-4 across several metrics like mathematics, coding, and multi-task language understanding (MMLU). While 2.5 doesn’t beat GPT-4 outright, it has to be pointed out that this near-GPT performance has been achieved with much more efficient training. According to the launch announcement, it took only 40% of the FLOPs (compute) of GPT-4 to get to this level. Inflection-2.5 is currently powering the company’s chatbot, [Pi](. If you’re new to Pi, it’s the company's alternative to ChatGPT, and it strikes a more empathetic, witty, and fun tone. Back when it launched last year, it was particularly adept at offering personal and emotional advice, with its human-like voice setting it apart. Currently, Inflection-2.5 is available to play around in Pi on [iOS](, [Android](, [web](, and [desktop](, and the chatbot itself boasts an average conversation time of 33 minutes with over 4 billion messages exchanged so far. So, if you want your AI best friend to be a little more human, why not try… [A slice of Pi]( Sponsored By Achieving security compliance can be manual and tedious — that's why Vanta automates up to 90% of the work for in-demand frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and more, helping you move towards a state of continuous compliance.
