New AI lab Deft announced its launch and released a writing model. Focused on improving writing quality, the model claims 86% of user queries are rated as fully human-generated according to pangram. Currently a small beta model, Deft advises users to add more details to prompts and adjust styles in "advanced options" to optimize detection rates. It performs better in analysis/essays, creative writing, and rewrites, but less so for marketing copy and news art.
