OpenAI + Axel Springer Partnership 🤝 // Mistral AI's $415M Funding 💰 // Record-Breaking Results on MMLU Benchmark 📈

Axel Springer partners with OpenAI to integrate journalism in AI technologies, enriching the user experience with ChatGPT and providing summaries of selected global news content. Mistral AI raises $415 million in a Series A funding round, aiming to become a European champion in generative artificial intelligence with an open, responsible, and decentralized approach to technology. Microsoft's Medprompt study achieves record-breaking results on the MMLU benchmark, steering GPT-4 with a modified version of Medprompt and providing tools for engineers and customers to achieve similar results. "Beyond Human Data: Scaling Self-Training for Problem-Solving with Language Models" proposes a self-training method called ReST$^{EM}$ that goes beyond human data by using scalar feedback, significantly reducing dependence on human-generated data.
