Meta to rival GPT-4 with a free Llama 3?
According to an early rumor, Meta is working on Llama 3, which is intended to compete with GPT-4, but will remain largely free under the Llama license. Jason Wei, an engineer associated with OpenAI, indicated that Meta has the computational capacity to train Llama 3 to a level comparable to GPT-4. Furthermore, Wei suggests that the feasibility of training Llama 4 is already within reach.Β
Despite Wei's credibility, it's important to acknowledge the possibility of inaccuracies in his statements or the potential for shifts in these plans.
Why does this matter?
If Meta develops Llama 3 as a strong AI model under a free license to compete with GPT 4, it could provide users with a powerful language tool at no cost, enhancing accessibility to advanced AI capabilities.
Alibaba rolls out 2 new AI models
Alibaba has launched 2 new AI models, Qwen-VL and Qwen-VL-Chat, that can understand images and engage in more complex conversations. Qwen-VL can comprehend images and generate descriptive captions, while Qwen-VL-Chat can handle multi-image questions and engage in diverse conversations. This AI push is part of Alibaba's cloud division's efforts to drive growth as it prepares for an upcoming public listing.
Why does this matter?
These models have the potential to revolutionize various industries and improve user experiences. Alibaba has also decided to open-source these models, allowing researchers and companies globally to access and utilize them for AI applications. This move aligns with Alibaba's strategic initiatives, particularly in its cloud division, and reinforces its position as a leader in AI innovation.
LLMs transforming autonomous agents: Survey findings
This paper comprehensively surveys studies on autonomous agents based on large language models. Previous research focused on training agents with limited knowledge, but LLMs have shown potential in achieving human-level intelligence.Β
The paper presents a unified framework for constructing LLM-based agents and discusses their applications in social science, natural science, and engineering. Evaluation strategies for LLM-based agents are also discussed. The paper concludes by highlighting challenges and future directions in this field.
Why does this matter?
It showcases a significant shift in autonomous agents' capabilities through using LLMs. Users can expect more sophisticated AI interactions while opening up new possibilities for AI across various applications.

Knowledge Nugget: Prompt Engineering will change the world. Just not in the way you think!Β
Prompt Engineering is a controversial topic with strong opinions on both sides. Some believe it is a valuable skill that can lead to financial success, while others see it as overhyped and misunderstood.Β
However, the author
cleverly presents a third perspective, arguing that Prompt Engineering has the potential to change the world, but not in the way people think. They believe that most people have misunderstood its true utility and discuss how it can be used to enhance AI safety.ΒWhy does this matter?
The article introduces a fresh angle on Prompt Engineering, what people misunderstand about it, and its potential for creating a safer and fairer AI.
