Federated Learning: A smarter way to train AI

Imagine training AI without sharing your personal data. That’s the essence of federated learning. Instead of sending your data to a central server, this approach trains AI models directly on your device.

Introduced by Google in 2016, federated learning keeps data local, enhancing privacy. It works by combining insights from multiple devices without sharing sensitive information. Each device processes data, learns patterns, and sends updates back to a central model—no raw data leaves your device.

This method powers technologies like predictive text and personalized recommendations. It’s not just about privacy; it’s also more efficient, using less bandwidth and server power. Federated learning is paving the way for AI that’s smarter and more secure.

The 3 News of the Week

#1 - OpenAI Plans ChatGPT Pro at $200 Monthly

OpenAI is preparing to launch ChatGPT Pro, a premium plan priced at $200 per month. This new tier offers enhanced features, including access to advanced models like the o1 reasoning model and GPT-4o, which fact-check their responses for greater accuracy.

Subscribers can also use Advanced Voice Mode for lifelike conversations and benefit from o1 Pro Mode, which dedicates more computing power for tackling complex tasks. While Pro is significantly pricier than ChatGPT Plus, it offers prorated credits for existing subscribers who upgrade.

Additionally, OpenAI is hinting at new offerings, such as GPT-4.5 in preview, available via a forthcoming ChatGPT Team plan aimed at professionals.

#2 - Salesforce Launches CodeTree for Automated Code Generation

Salesforce Research, alongside the University of Texas, has unveiled CodeTree, a cutting-edge framework for automated code generation. CodeTree leverages a multi-agent architecture, including Thinker, Solver, Debugger, and Critic agents, to generate and refine code solutions effectively.

This innovative framework excels at addressing long-standing challenges in code generation, achieving remarkable results on industry benchmarks. Its approach optimizes coding by using agents that specialize in planning, debugging, and evaluation, pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve in software development.

#3 - Google Plans AI-Powered Search Revolution by 2025

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has revealed major updates coming to Google Search by 2025, introducing AI-driven features to handle complex queries. Speaking at the NYT DealBook Summit, Pichai emphasized Google's leadership in AI and hinted at revolutionary tools coming soon.
