February 27: Elon Musk, the mastermind behind SpaceX, Tesla, and recently, Twitter’s CEO, has finally pulled the trigger in the AI world today by establishing a new research lab that aims to build a ChatGPT-like model.

The Twitter CEO called out OpenAI for failing to fulfill the original vision of staying as a non-profit while serving “as a counterweight to Google”.…

The race to dominate the AI space began late last year with the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, leading tech giants like Alphabet Inc, Microsoft, and Baidu Inc to showcase their own offerings.
