AI Wanna Talk

In this episode of "AI Wanta Talk," host Jacob Norgord explores recent AI advancements, focusing on their practical applications. This episode focuses on four major developments in the AI landscape:

Anthropic AI's Claude New Features

• Anthropic AI has introduced two new features for its Claude AI chatbot: Styles and Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• Styles enables users to customize how Claude responds using presets like "concise," "explanatory," or "formal."
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) acts as a "universal translator" for AI and data sources, allowing Claude to connect with external sources like files or websites and interact with them.
• MCP enables Claude to perform complex tasks such as generating images based on user requests, writing code, and integrating images into websites.

Microsoft AI's Apparent Long-Term Memory Breakthrough

• Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman believes long-term memory is the crucial missing element in current AI chatbots.
• Microsoft AI is working on incorporating long-term memory into its Copilot chatbot, enabling it to retain information from previous conversations and use it to provide more personalized and accurate responses.
• The goal is to eliminate the need for users to constantly re-explain context and make interactions with AI more natural and efficient.

Bronze AI Acquires Chroma

• Bronze AI, known for its innovative Bronze file format that creates dynamic music experiences, has acquired Chroma, a company specializing in audiovisual entertainment for mobile devices.
• The acquisition suggests potential for combining Bronze's evolving music with Chroma's visual expertise, creating a multisensory experience for listeners.
• The collaboration may push the boundaries of art by blending music and visuals in innovative ways.
