Hey there Neuron Daily listeners!

We've got some exciting news on the AI front. Anthropic has released a "constitutional" approach to AI, which aims to guide and reinforce AI models instead of relying on human feedback. The company has raised up to $5 billion to prove its approach, drawing inspiration from the UN Declaration of Human Rights and including principles such as freedom, equality, and brotherhood in responses, and avoiding objectionable, offensive, unlawful, deceptive, inaccurate, or harmful content. Anthropic claims that this approach makes its AI models less susceptible to jailbreaks, toxicity, and harmful content. And if that's not enough, Anthropic plans to let businesses customize constitutions for their own chatbots.

In other news, OpenAI has released research on how the components of large language models work. The research uses GPT-4 to simulate and compare output from individual components of large language models such as GPT-2. The study identified some neurons in charge of words relating to Canada, phrases relating to certainty, and references to the Marvel comics.

Wendy's is also collaborating with Google on an AI chatbot for drive-throughs. The fast-food chain is following in the footsteps of other companies that have employed AI in drive-throughs, such as McDonald's and Burger King.

There's more AI investment news too, including Bessemer Venture Partners investing $1 billion in AI startups, Altana raising $30 million for AI-powered supply chain management, Essential AI raising $8 million for enterprise LLM platforms, and UVeye closing a $100 million AI vehicle inspection round.

And to wrap things up, The Neuron Daily is offering a guide to discussing AI for their readers along with a cat's commentary. They are also requesting feedback from their readers on their daily email and providing readers with the option to update their email preferences or unsubscribe. Plus, a rating system with a series of emojis for readers to rate their satisfaction with the daily email.

That's all for now. Stay tuned for more exciting AI news.

Until next time, keep neuron firing!
