Making the Rounds
- Microsoft’s Bing planning to incorporate updated GPT-4 into search. The newest version of the large language model behind ChatGPT has reportedly been trained on a much bigger dataset, and can respond to queries much faster than ChatGPT.
- Twitter planning new rev share feature for creators. According to CEO Elon Musk, creators may soon be able to earn a cut of ad dollars from their threads.
- 65% of U.S. marketers surveyed plan to increase spend on podcast ads. Podcast advertising provider Acast found low ad loads and a growing list of programmatic options to be driving the enthusiasm for podcast ads among marketers and advertisers.
