ROBOTICS
Our Report: Microsoft has announced a collaboration with Sanctuary AI, known for its humanoid robot, Phoenix to develop general-purpose humanoid robots.
🔑 Key Points:
Both will work on the development of Large Behavior Models (LBMs) which power general-purpose robots, allowing them to learn from the real world, not computer simulations.
Microsoft will provide Azure cloud infrastructure to power heavy AI workloads and Sanctuary AI will bring its deep technical expertise and experience to the collaboration.
Sanctuary AI’s robots have already been deployed into one of Canada’s largest retailers and have been tested across 400 customer-related tasks across 15 different industries.
🤨 Why you should care: After leading a $675M Series B funding round into AI robotics start-up, FigureAI, in February, this partnership further strengthens Microsoft’s commitment to AI development with Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, also expressing his own, personal interest in humanoids, earlier this year.

CHATBOTS
OpenAI's rival—Anthropic—has released an iOS app for its AI chatbots: Claude Opus (its largest model) Claude Sonnet (its mid-sized model), and Claude Haiku (its smallest model).
The mobile app syncs across mobile and desktop and allows users to upload photos from their iOS devices and get contextual understanding, and real-time responses to their queries.
The iOS app is available on any Claude plan, and all three models performed similarly to GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 on common benchmarks, making it an interesting alternative to ChatGPT.

PRODUCTIVITY
🦾 Atlassian boosts productivity with AI tool
Atlassian has launched an AI tool (Rovo) that utilizes Atlassian Intelligence to help users find, learn, and utilize information that’s spread across multiple internal and third-party tools.
Rovo can find contextually relevant information and has an AI chat feature that gives in-depth analysis of information, making complex information easily digestible.
It can also automate workflow tasks and help with issue-solving, making information functional and, therefore, enhancing team productivity and decision-making.
AI SAFETY
🛟 Microsoft grows AI safety team by 16%
In its first annual AI transparency report, Microsoft revealed it has grown its AI product safety team by 16.6% and 99% of its employees have completed responsible AI training.
They also announced that they’ve released 30 responsible AI tools with over 100 features that make it more difficult for users to manipulate AI chatbots for bad.
Their prioritization of AI safety education and transparency comes after it failed to prevent its AI image tool from creating abusive images last month, despite engineer warnings.
