Writer’s new AI model aims to fix the ‘sameness problem’ in generative content
- Writer has launched a specialized AI model called Palmyra Creative, aimed at breaking free from the sameness of AI-generated content. The model introduces a new approach to overcome the sameness of traditional AI models known for their rigid, predictable outputs. The innovative method focuses on restructuring how models interpret and generate language, leading to outputs that are more dynamic and less predictable.
- Writer is positioning itself in the $1tn generative AI market, offering businesses a tool that combines creativity with domain-specific expertise. Unlike competitors like OpenAI, Writer’s new approach to the AI architecture is cost-effective, costing only $700,000 to train compared to $4.6m at OpenAI.
- Palmyra Creative not only produces creative outputs, but it does so while maintaining high levels of accuracy and reliability, thanks to Writer’s new ‘claim detection’ system. This feature ensures that creative outputs remain grounded when combined with industry-specific models.
- The model is already being used to generate creative solutions in industries such as marketing, finance, and product development. Palmyra Creative will be open for subscription to the customers using Writer’s API.
- Writer, who raised $200m in Series C funding recently, is doubling down on its enterprise-first strategy, offering tools that promise measurable ROI and scalability. Writer’s partnership with NVIDIA further emphasises its commitment to enterprise scalability, enabling businesses to deploy Palmyra Creative across cloud, data center and edge environments with ease.
- Palmyra Creative’s token uniqueness and its relationship between tokens will be used as a measure of creativity by Writer as a way to quantify originality. Writer is planning to publish the benchmark measurement as an open-source tool in January 2022, potentially setting a new industry standard for evaluating creative AI.
- With the generative AI market projected to surpass $1tn in revenue within the next decade, Writer’s bet on creativity could be a winning strategy. However, to compete in generative AI requires not only technical excellence but also robust governance frameworks to address emerging issues like bias and safety.
- Writer will need to continue to innovate to maintain its position in the market and address emerging issues to stay ahead of competition from tech giants such as OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and Anthropic.
- Palmyra Creative is available now through Writer’s API, no-code tools, and NVIDIA API catalogue, with $10 in free API credits.
- In the world increasingly dominated by AI, Writer’s true test is to teach its machines to think differently like humans.

Elevating Travel Experiences with AI
- Generative AI (genAI) has emerged as the latest buzzword in the AI field, offering innovative possibilities.
- Use cases of generative AI in travel include travel content creation, customer service chatbots and itinerary creation. Whereas, traditional AI is more established in consumer products, focusing on analyzing patterns and making predictions based on structured, domain-specific data solving problems including personalized, contextual travel suggestions, travel demand prediction, and optimizing hotel promotions based on travelers' preferences.
- While genAI excels in content creation and reasoning by analyzing patterns from extensive data sets, traditional AI is more reliable, easier to scale, and a safer bet for applications requiring high precision.
- Factors to consider while choosing AI approach include type of problem to solve, available data, delivery timeline, performance measurement, costs and scalability of the solution.
- Traditional AI is preferred for relevance and search optimization, semantic matching using Machine Learning, and propensity models to predict user behavior while genAI is ideal for distilling large amounts of information into insights such as summarizing content from traveler reviews.
- The combination of both genAI and traditional AI can create a personalized and efficient experience such as using traditional predictive data to gather restaurant preference information from the user and combine it with existing data to create prompts for the LLM to find authentic local cuisine options near a traveler's hotel.
- In conclusion, businesses must evaluate factors and set goals when selecting an AI approach to adopt, considering the strengths of both genAI and traditional AI to create personalized solutions.

Android XR Is Google’s Final Shot to Overthrow Meta’s AR, VR
- Google has released its Android XR platform, featuring AI, AR and VR and a bracelet to help transition between realities, beating its main competition, Meta, which has already launched its own glasses and unveiled Orion, touted as the most advanced AR glasses on the market. Its decision instead is to offer natural conversation and a variety of glasses that can easily integrate with other Android devices.
- Google's first XR headset is scheduled to launch next year and supports tools such as ARCore, Unity, Jetpack Compose, and OpenXR to make it easier for developers to create applications for upcoming devices. However, Android XR's success depends on it being more open than visionOS and less predatory than Meta.
- Google's latest innovation, Astra, helps it better understand and respond to situations more naturally and in real-time. During the latest Astra Project demo, Google introduced its smart glasses, which come with a camera and always connected to Astra for instant information.
- Google is facing tough competition from Meta, which had earlier released its own glasses and unveiled Orion, the most advanced AR glasses on the market.
- OpenAI is expected to announce a hardware device soon, as it collaborates with former Apple design chief Jony Ive and his design firm, LoveFrom. It appears to be in the early stages, with a small team of former Apple designers, including Tang Tan and Evans Hankey, who are key to the development of the iPhone.
- It is essential to make the hardware lighter in AR/VR glasses, and this is a difficult task due to the constraints of physics to fit all of the hardware into such a small form factor. It's hard to fit enough computing power and optics into the glasses.
- Google Android XR is integrating AI, AR and VR to provide innovative headset and glasses experiences and a natural conversation to assist users in interacting with devices, planning, researching, and completing tasks.
- Google is taking a different approach this time by focusing on developing an operating system rather than hardware, similar to Meta's Horizon OS. The Android XR integration offers a variety of stylish and comfortable glasses that would work seamlessly with other Android devices.
- Yann LeCun, Meta's chief AI scientist, predicts that smartphones will be replaced by augmented reality glasses in 10-15 years.
- Google's Android XR is supported by several tools, like ARCore, OpenXR, Jetpack Compose, Unity, making it easier for developers to create apps for upcoming devices. Additionally, Google Gemini offers natural conversations to help users engage with devices.
