With a hat-tip to Carlsberg, we're happy to announce the introduction of six new Large Language Models and one new image generation model into Glide's AI Assistant GAIA. They include new models from Cohere, Amazon Titan, Anthropic, and Llama, and raise the number available within the platform to 14 including two image generation models. We think it makes it the widest range offered by any CMS in the world - all safely integrated so you don't have to wrestle with the "who's hoarding my data?" question.

How to write reviews (according to Google)
While Google has not (yet) started writing its own reviews - although we all remember when it claimed it did - it has produced new advice on how to write them. While it strikes us a bit like the passenger telling the pilot how to fly the plane, what it really shows is Google looks for in reviews to feature in search results.
