The Weekly Rap: AI Edition
(Extended Cypher — Let’s gooooo…)
OpenAI dropped a beat with that audio fire,
New voice models made to inspire.
Transcripts cleaner, tones more fly,
Even accents and noise? It knows how to try.
Steerable voices, SDK’s slick,
Turning text into talk—real fast, real quick.
Baidu said, “Hold up, we got two in the lab,”
Ernie 4.5 and X1—they ain’t just rehab.
X1’s half the cost, still swings with the greats,
4.5 decodes memes and navigates debates.
Multimodal swagger, video to text,
China’s AI push? Yeah, they’re on to the next.
Claude got search—finally online,
Now it fetches facts while dropping fine lines.
Cited sources, web-powered thought,
It’s catching up fast to the tools you’ve bought.
Not always flawless, but hey—it’s live,
Anthropic just gave Claude a reason to thrive.
Meta AI hits the EU scene,
But privacy laws keep it squeaky clean.
No local data, no creepy vibe,
Still chats, draws, and tries to jive.
It’s a tiptoe launch, not a wild parade,
But Meta’s movin’ in, regulation obeyed.
Now let’s hit the rest, a lightning pace,
So much dropped, we’re sprintin’ this race:

AI2’s OLMo takes GPTs to the next.
NVIDIA’s Llama drops for agents to think,

Canopy’s Orpheus speaks with some soul,
Voice cloning vibes, under open-source control.

Grok 2 image? Might stick around a while.
1X humanoids headin’ to homes,
In 2025, robots answer your phone.
Zuck hits a billy with Llama’s download,
Even under lawsuits, he’s in upload mode.
Elon’s xAI snatched Hotshot quick,
AI video tools? Yeah, that play’s slick.
Perplexity’s pitchin’ for an 18B stack,
Enterprise search, agents on track.

Hired Vision Pro’s dad to settle the score.
OpenAI’s o1-pro—power with a price,
But is it better? Kinda… maybe… twice?

12K humanoids—dreams ain’t cheap.
Task length doubling every 7 months,
AI’s learning to do more in long-run chunks.
EXAONE Deep boosts logic and flow,
Vamba gets video—hour-long show.
FlowTok’s matchin’ text with frames,
While CoRe² refines image games.
Sample & Scale for self-verification,
Models checking models—it’s AI’s meditation.
Privacy beef? Oh, it’s back again,
ChatGPT called out for AI sin.
Hallucinated lies caused a legal fuss,
Now GDPR’s eyein’ OpenAI’s bus.
And Hollywood said: “Not so fast,”
To training on scripts from the past.
Ben Stiller, Ruffalo, wielding pens,
Telling Trump’s team: Protect the lens.
Meanwhile, the law made it hella clear,
Text prompt art? Not copyright here.
Yo, that’s the wrap, the pulse, the flow,
If you blinked, AI just stole the show.
From audio agents to copyright fights,
This week in AI brought serious bites.
