Meta plans to dethrone OpenAI and Google
Meta plans to release a commercial AI model to compete with OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google. The model will generate language, code, and images. It might be an updated version of Meta's LLaMA, which is currently only available under a research license.
Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has expressed the company's intention to use the model for its own services and make it available to external parties. Safety is a significant focus. The new model will be open source, but Meta may reserve the right to license it commercially and provide additional services for fine-tuning with proprietary data.
Why does this matter?
LLaMA v2 may enable Meta to compete with industry leaders like OpenAI and Google in developing Gen AI. It allows businesses and start-ups to build custom software on top of Meta's technology. By adopting an open-source approach, Meta allows companies of all sizes to improve their technology and create applications. This move can potentially change the competitive landscape of AI and promotes openness as a solution to AI-related concerns.
OpenAI enters partnership to make ChatGPT smarter
The Associated Press (AP) and OpenAI have agreed to collaborate and share select news content and technology. OpenAI will license part of AP's text archive, while AP will leverage OpenAI's technology and product expertise. The collaboration aims to explore the potential use cases of generative AI in news products and services.
AP has been using AI technology for nearly a decade to automate tasks and improve journalism. Both organizations believe in the responsible creation and use of AI systems and will benefit from each other's expertise. AP continues to prioritize factual, nonpartisan journalism and the protection of intellectual property.
Why does this matter?
AP's cooperation with OpenAI is another example of journalism trying to adapt AI technologies to streamline content processes and automate parts of the content creation process. It sees a lot of potential in AI automation for better processes, but it's less clear whether AI can help create content from scratch, which carries much higher risks.
Stable Doodle: Next chapter in AI art
Stability AI, the startup behind Stable Diffusion, has released 'Stable Doodle,' an AI tool that can turn sketches into images. The tool accepts a sketch and a descriptive prompt to guide the image generation process, with the output quality depending on the detail of the initial drawing and the prompt. It utilizes the latest Stable Diffusion model and the T2I-Adapter for conditional control.
Stable Doodle is designed for both professional artists and novices and offers more precise control over image generation. Stability AI aims to quadruple its $1 billion valuation in the next few months.
Why does this matter?
The real-world applications of Stable Doodle are numerous, with industries like real estate already recognizing its potential. This technology can enhance visualizations, enabling professionals to showcase properties and architectural designs more effectively. It represents a significant step forward in AI-assisted image generation, offering immense possibilities for artists and practical applications across various fields.
Knowledge Nugget: Is your language model any good? Nobody knows.
In this article, the author
discusses the challenges of evaluating language models and measuring their quality. It highlights the difficulty in defining what makes a "good" language model due to its diverse applications. Various measurement dimensions are explored, including intelligence, creativity, friendliness, toxicity, factual accuracy, and steerability.
Also mentions using the HELM benchmark to assess language models' capabilities across different tasks. It also discusses emerging evaluation methods, such as head-to-head comparisons and user preference ratings. The limitations of these approaches are acknowledged, leading to the need for scalable and automated evaluation methods. The article proposes using reward models and simulated user sessions to scale developers' ability to evaluate and measure language models. These innovations are crucial for building robust systems that assess model quality before deployment.
Why does this matter?
The evaluation of language models is crucial because it helps determine the reliability, effectiveness, and suitability of these models for various tasks. So accurate and comprehensive evaluation contributes to the responsible and effective use of language models in various domains, benefiting both developers and end-users.
