Let's say you have a chance to ask the MATLAB leadership team any question. What would you ask them?
The AI Chat Playground at MATLAB Central has two new upgrades: OpenAI GPT-4o mini and MATLAB R2024b!
MATLAB AI Chat Playgroundhttps://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/playground/
GPT-4o mini is a new language model from OpenAI and brings general knowledge up to October 2023. GPT-4o mini surpasses GPT-3.5 Turbo and other small models on academic benchmarks across both textual intelligence and reasoning. Our goal is to keep improving the output of the AI Chat Playground. This upgrade is available now: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/playground/
One more thing... we also updated the system to the latest release of MATLAB. This is R2024b and comes with hundreds of updates and new plot types to explore.Check out Mike Croucher's blog post about the latest version of MATLAB: https://blogs.mathworks.com/matlab/2024/09/13/the-latest-version-of-matlab-r2024b-has-just-been-released/
We are looking forward to your feedback on the updates to the AI Chat Playground. Let us know what you think and how you use this community app.
Check out the LLMs with MATLAB project on File Exchange to access Large Language Models from MATLAB.
Along with the latest support for GPT-4o mini, you can use LLMs with MATLAB to generate images, categorize data, and provide semantic analyis.

Time for Tulips

Spring is here in Natick and the tulips are blooming! While tulips appear only briefly here in Massachusetts, they provide a lot of bright and diverse colors and shapes. To celebrate this cheerful flower, here's some code to create your own tulip!

One of the starter prompts is about rolling two six-sided dice and plot the results. As a hobby, I create my own board games. I was able to use the dice rolling prompt to show how a simple roll and move game would work. That was a great surprise!

The Office Words Spoken by Episode

I found this plot of words said by different characters on the US version of The Office sitcom. There's a sparkline for each character from pilot to finale episode.
This is Stella while waiting to see if the code works...

Are you going to be in the path of totality? How can you predict, track, and simulate the solar eclipse using MATLAB?
The MATLAB AI Chat Playground is now open to the whole community! Answer questions, write first draft MATLAB code, and generate examples of common functions with natural language.
The playground features a chat panel next to a lightweight MATLAB code editor. Use the chat panel to enter natural language prompts to return explanations and code. You can keep chatting with the AI to refine the results or make changes to the output.

MATLAB Dark Mode
Have fun trying it out and let us know what you think!
Join us live on May 26 at 11am for another Livestream Event on YouTube.
We welcome Brian Buechel and Nikola Trica as this week's guests. They will analyze experimental data to quantify the ride quality of a car suspension in MATLAB. They'll work with signals recorded from a car suspension, analyze the data, and visualize the results. At the end, we'll have a shareable report containing code and formatted text that clearly communicates our findings.
Watch the event live or the recording on YouTube. We welcome your questions during the event and let us know what other topics that you are interested in seeing.
MATLAB EXPO is open to everyone:

Special Event: Save the Earth: Accelerate Climate Science and Electrify Everything
The climate crisis is here. Engineers and scientists are engaged to help. Engineers innovate rapidly to decarbonize energy production, electrify everything, and design sustainable products. Scientists accelerate their research to inform climate adaptation and enhance understanding through advances in cloud computing and artificial intelligence. And educators train the next generation to take these advances even further. In this talk by Dr. Tanya Morton, you will learn how scientists and engineers use MATLAB® and Simulink® to tackle this great challenge—to save the earth and build a clean, electrified future!
Registration is open!

Climate Data Toolbox was developed by Chad Greene, a postdoctoral research fellow at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Kelly Kearney, a research scientist at University of Washington. The Climate Data Toolbox is freely downloadable from File Exchange and has been downloaded over 5,000 times since 2019.

The toolbox was inspired by one big idea: There are a common set of tasks related to data processing, analysis and visualization that Geoscience researchers and students working with climate data typically perform. Greene and coauthors make the case in their paper published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems that having everyone who is tackling climate analysis separately recoding these same tasks is not a good use of time, for the individual or the collective, as it takes away from other more innovative climate work. Better to have a set of reusable, publicly shared functions for those repetitive tasks.

Recently, Lisa Kempler published an example of how to look at the change in temperature of the Pacific Ocean over time using MATLAB and the Climate Data Toolbox.

Try the example here by loading up MATLAB, installing the Climate Data Toolbox, and following along the tutorial.
