Newsletter In recent years, the potential progress of large language models has been measured primarily by the number of parameters. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, believes that this practice is no longer useful. Altman compares the race to increase the number of parameters in large language models to the race to increase the clock speed …

Summary All generative AI models for images currently use diffusion models. OpenAI presents an alternative that is significantly faster and could power new models like DALL-E 3. DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion, or Midjourney use diffusion models that gradually synthesize an image from noise during image generation. The same iterative process is used in audio or …
Here’s how OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 could leapfrog the competition Read More »
Summary A new beta version of Stable Diffusion delivers much more aesthetic and photorealistic results than the previous version. Will this make commercial offerings obsolete? While Stable Diffusion is the most developed open-source image model, it can’t always match the quality and especially the accessibility of commercial competitors like Midjourney. Its strength so far is …
Summary Med-PaLM is Google’s variant of the PaLM language model optimized for medical questions. The latest version is designed to answer medical questions reliably at an expert level. Last December, Google unveiled Med-PaLM, a version of Google’s giant PaLM (Pathways Language Model) language model optimized for answering medical questions. Med-PaLM was developed using a special …

Summary Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) are a promising graphics technology that can transform the real world into 3D relatively quickly and with high quality. LERF (Language Embedded Radiance Fields) integrates the capabilities of large language models into NeRFs. This enables accurate 3D object recognition without additional training. UC Berkeley researchers present LERF, which volumetrically integrates …
Summary OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that scientists will continue to have access to the model after a wave of criticism over the Codex shutdown. “We didn’t realize how much people liked this model; we will continue to support it for researchers!” he wrote on Twitter. Only a few days after a first notice, OpenAI …

Summary Microsoft researchers see a spark of general AI in an early version of GPT-4. “We believe that GPT-4’s intelligence signals a true paradigm shift in the field of computer science and beyond,” says the paper released by Microsoft. GPT-4 shows a spark of general artificial intelligence (AGI), they say, but is only the first …
Summary Google and Deepmind are working together to develop a GPT-4 competitor called “Gemini”. The Information reports that the Google Brain AI team is working with Deepmind on an alternative to OpenAI’s GPT-4. Work on the Gemini project is said to have begun in recent weeks after Google’s Bard failed to keep up with ChatGPT. …
Summary Stanford’s Alpaca was just the beginning: In recent weeks, several AI models have been unveiled using training data generated by ChatGPT. In mid-March, Stanford researchers unveiled the Alpaca language model, a variant of Meta’s LLaMA 7B that was fine-tuned with AI-generated data. The team trained the LLaMA model with 52,000 example statements generated by …
