Spotify pilots video-based learning courses in the UK

Spotify has launched a new experiment, offering educational video courses to its U.K. users on subjects including music making, creativity, business and healthy living. The videos are provided through partnerships with BBC Maestro, Skillshare, Thinkific and PlayVirtuoso. Two lessons in each course are freely available to both free and premium subscribers, but the complete course entails a fee ranging from £20 to £80 on average (approximately ₹2,000 to ₹8,000). The content will live in both Spotify’s home and browse tabs (under “Courses”), and it’s accessible on the web as well as via the Spotify mobile app.

AnthropicAI's Claude 3 surpasses OpenAI's GPT-4 on Chatbot Arena for the first time

Anthropic's Claude 3 Opus large language model (LLM) has surpassed OpenAI's GPT-4, which powers ChatGPT, for the first time on Chatbot Arena, a popular crowdsourced leaderboard used by AI researchers to gauge the relative capabilities of AI language models.

Anthropic, a newcomer in the artificial intelligence field, recently announced the release of Claude 3, a potent language model available in three sizes: Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus. Claude 3 demonstrates enhanced contextual understanding compared to its predecessors, resulting in fewer refusals. Additionally, Anthropic's smaller model, Haiku, is garnering attention for its impressive performance on the leaderboard.
