If you want to get access to this episode and my next 30 episodes all ad free, so there'll be no ads on them, go check out my podcast, AI Chat. You can go search for that on Spotify or Apple, it's AI Chat. I'm gonna post all of these news episodes, and I'm also posting interviews, like I just interviewed the CEO of Cohere. They've raised over a billion dollars for their AI model, talking about what they're gonna be spending the money on and the direction of the AI industry, along with all of this new stuff. So if you wanna go check it out with no ads for free, it is AI Chat. Anthropic has just launched a brand new model, Clawed Opus 5 It is half the price of Fable 5, but almost as good as Fable 5 This I think is in direct response to what OpenAI has been doing. And speaking of which, OpenAI has just brought ChatGPT Voice to their desktop app and it has agent control. So talking to it, it can then control your computer.
Meta is pivoting their AI Chatbot towards productivity with MuseSpark 1.1. We'll get into what they're doing there. But Hugging Face, Meta, NVIDIA have all signed, along with over 200 Silicon Valley companies, a letter against open weight AI restrictions. And researchers using AlphaFold to redesign CRISPR-Cas9 and cut off target edits from 28% to 5%.
Mid Journey has just acquired CoStar. It's an astrology app. It has 4.3 million monthly users. And it has nothing to do with Mid Journey, but the talent that have built it have everything to do with their company. So we're going to get into that. But first, my absolute favorite AI tool I've been using this week allows you to generate images and audio and video right inside of Clawed, who, you know, only does text and reason. And I basically use Clawed as my control panel for everything I do. I have two Clawed Macs, $200 a month subscriptions, and I burn through all of the tokens for both of those because I have a billion projects going always all at once. And this thing is a workhorse. Now, the problem with it is it doesn't generate images like ChatGPT. It doesn't generate video like Google, and it doesn't do audio like 11Lab. So I've actually been able to pull all of those models straight into Clawed with the AI Box MCP. It's amazing. I've created tons of Facebook ads this week. And the thing that actually saved me a ton of money and also just time is I was creating a bunch of podcast covers for a project where it was a it was a language learning podcast. So it's like learn German, right? And it'll be a podcast in German. But my problem was I was like, you know, people that are from Spain or from Russia that want to learn German, they're not going to search for learn German in English or even learn German and however you say it in Dutch. They're going to search it in their own language of Russian or whatever. So anyways, I have this problem and the solution is generating podcast covers with ChatGPT.
You know, learn, you say the words learn German and you translate it to 10 different 10 different languages. OK, so I had this great podcast cover design that I really like. And I was just getting ChatGPT. I was giving it to it. It was spitting out a new title. And I know a lot of people are like, oh, why don't you just use Canva to do this? Yeah, you could use Canva to do it. And then you'd have to manually adjust like the font sizes, because once you get into like Mandarin or Korean and like the languages are completely different, I had two different fonts and two different colors. And anyway, I was going to go finnick with it and it was going to be annoying. So I was having ChatGPT just one shot this, but it was taking forever. And then this for this particular project, I'm actually doing every language and every language is variant, right? So it would be like learn English, learn German, learn French, their podcasts in those languages.
But it's I'm making a podcast cover for every language, right? So there'd be like 10 or 12 variations of everything. Anyways, it was a big project. It was going to take forever to generate 300 podcast covers for every language variant. And so what I did is I had Clawed make the base image for every single one of these, which is like 12 languages. So it just made the base image for the 12 languages. And then Clawed actually put the text on it. It can swap it out. It saved me so much time being able to use Clawed plus AI Box. If I was just going to ChatGPT and trying to get 300 images generated, this would take me forever. But getting Clawed to basically I had the AI Box MCP called in. So it just said, hey, you know, Clawed knew exactly what to do. It wrote the prompt. I gave it an image and told it what I wanted it to do. It wrote the prompt. It used AI Box. It pulled the image in. It put the text on and swapped it out into all the different languages and made the template perfect. So I got to use the brain power of Clawed, but I got to use the image generation power of ChatGPT using them together. I only had to generate 12 images and I saved myself so much time and money being able to do it this way. There's like a hundred other things I've done this week with it. That was just like a fun thing I was doing last night with it.
