Good morning. “Devin” the first AI software engineer
Today we're excited to introduce Devin, the first AI software engineer.
Devin is the new state-of-the-art on the SWE-Bench coding benchmark, has successfully passed practical engineering interviews from leading AI companies, and has even completed real jobs on Upwork.
Devin is an autonomous agent that solves engineering tasks through the use of its own shell, code editor, and web browser.
When evaluated on the SWE-Bench benchmark, which asks an AI to resolve GitHub issues found in real-world open-source projects, Devin correctly resolves 13.86% of the issues unassisted, far exceeding the previous state-of-the-art model performance of 1.96% unassisted and 4.80% assisted.
Check out what Devin can do in the thread below.

Why Elon Musk Had to Open Source Grok, His Answer to ChatGPT
Summary:
After suing OpenAI this month, alleging the company has become too closed, Elon Musk says he will release his “truth-seeking” answer to ChatGPT, the chatbot Grok, for anyone to download and use.
“This week, @xAI will open source Grok,” Musk wrote on his social media platform X today.
That suggests his AI company, xAI, will release the full code of Grok and allow anyone to use or alter it.
By contrast, OpenAI makes a version of ChatGPT and the language model behind it available to use for free but keeps its code private.
Musk had previously said little about the business model for Grok or xAI, and the chatbot was made available only to Premium subscribers to X.
Having accused his OpenAI cofounders of reneging on a promise to give away the company’s artificial intelligence earlier this month, Musk may have felt he had to open source his own chatbot to show that he is committed to that vision.
A team of computer scientists has created a nimbler, more flexible type of machine learning model.
The trick: It must periodically forget what it knows.
And while this new approach won’t displace the huge models that undergird the biggest apps, it could reveal more about how these programs understand language.
The new research marks “a significant advance in the field,” said Jea Kwon, an AI engineer at the Institute for Basic Science in South Korea.
The AI language engines in use today are mostly powered by artificial neural networks. Each “neuron” in the network is a mathematical function that receives signals from other such neurons, runs some calculations, and sends signals on through multiple layers of neurons.
Two teenage boys from Miami, Florida, were arrested in December for allegedly creating and sharing AI-generated nude images of male and female classmates without consent, according to police reports obtained by WIRED via public record request.
The arrest reports say the boys, aged 13 and 14, created the images of the students who were “between the ages of 12 and 13.”
Elon Musk last week sued two of his OpenAI cofounders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, accusing them of “flagrant breaches” of the trio’s original agreement that the company would develop artificial intelligence openly and without chasing profits.
Late on Tuesday, OpenAI released partially redacted emails between Musk, Altman, Brockman, and others that provide a counternarrative.
Jalon Hall thought she was being scammed when a recruiter reached out on LinkedIn about a job moderating YouTube videos in 2020.
Months after earning a master’s degree in criminal justice, her only job had been at a law firm investigating discrimination cases.
But the offer was real, and Hall, who is Black and Deaf, sailed through the interviews.
She would be part of a new in-house moderation team of about 100 people called Wolverine, trudging daily through freezing weather to offices in suburban Detroit during the early pandemic.
San Francisco made history in 2019 when its Board of Supervisors voted to ban city agencies including the police department from using face recognition. About two dozen other US cities have since followed suit.
But on Tuesday, San Francisco voters appeared to turn against the idea of restricting police technology, backing a ballot proposition that will make it easier for city police to deploy drones and other surveillance tools.
Proposition E passed with 60 percent of the vote and was backed by San Francisco mayor London Breed.
Google is taking action against algorithmically generated spam.
The search engine giant just announced upcoming changes, including a revamped spam policy, designed in part to keep AI clickbait out of its search results.
“It sounds like it’s going to be one of the biggest updates in the history of Google,” says Lily Ray, senior director of SEO at the marketing agency Amsive. “It could change everything.”

Apple’s Vision Pro Headset Shows the Future of Computing Is Bulky and Weird
I SPENT A little more than 30 minutes wearing the Apple Vision Pro today, and I saw the future of computing.
The impressive technology in Apple's upcoming mixed-reality headset lays the groundwork for what's to come, but I am at a crossroads. I'm not sold on the bulky headset.
Apple’s Vision Pro Isn’t the Future
I’M NOT A gambler, but I’d bet everything that Apple’s Vision Pro will flop.
When the $3,499 mixed-reality headset goes on sale in 2024, no doubt diehard Apple enthusiasts and VR/AR hobbyists will bring their sleeping bags and line up outside the Apple Store doors, hooting and hollering and having a ball.
Maybe some gamers will get on board.
