ARCHETYPE AI

🤖 Newton AI learns physics from scratch

The Rundown: Archetype AI just unveiled 'Newton,' a new foundational AI ‘Large Behavior Model’ that learns complex physics principles directly from raw sensor data, without any human guidance.

The details:

• Newton ingests raw sensor measurements to build its understanding of physical phenomena without pre-programmed knowledge.

• The model can accurately predict behaviors of systems it wasn't explicitly trained on, like pendulum motion.

• It outperformed specialized AI in tasks like forecasting citywide power consumption and discovering systems from data instead of training.

• Archetype AI was founded by ex-Google researchers and has secured $13M in funding to date.

Why it matters: Newton is a paradigm shift in AI's interaction with the physical world. A single model could replace highly specialized systems by developing a generalized understanding rather than a narrow focus. The tech also opens the door to truly autonomous AI that can adapt to environments and tasks without human intervention.

📓 NotebookLM launches business pilot

The Rundown: Google just pushed an update for its viral AI note-taking assistant NotebookLM, adding new features that let users guide AI-generated audio summaries and announcing the upcoming launch of a new business-focused version.

The details:

• Users can now customize the AI podcast Audio Overviews feature by providing instructions to focus on specific topics or adjusting the expertise level.

• A new Background Listening feature allows users to listen to Audio Interviews while multitasking within NotebookLM.

• A pilot program for NotebookLM Business is coming, offering enhanced features for organizations like higher usage limits and team collaboration tools.

• Audio Overviews, which turns docs, videos, and other content into podcasts between AI hosts, went viral earlier this month for its realistic audio outputs.

Why it matters: Google is dropping the ‘experimental’ tag on NotebookLM, and the viral feature built in just two months is suddenly being called a ‘ChatGPT’ moment for the company. It’s also an interesting case of users actually enjoying AI-generated content —  a quality that is hard to find in most mainstream sentiment for the tech.
