News & Insights
- Meta released Llama 2, the next generation of Meta’s open source Large Language Model, available for research & commercial use. Compared to Llama v1, it was trained on more data (~2 trillion tokens) and supports context windows up to 4k tokens. Llama 2 outperforms other open source language models on many external benchmarks, including reasoning, coding, proficiency, and knowledge tests. Microsoft is Meta’s preferred partner for Llama 2, which will be optimized to run locally on Windows [Details ].
- Llama 2 70B Chat model is available free on HuggingChat.
- San Francisco startup Fable presents SHOW-1, a Showrunner AI tech that can create personalized TV episodes, from a prompt, with the user as the star . The AI Showrunner Agents, outlined in Fable's research paper, have the ability to write, produce, direct, cast, edit, voice, and animate TV episodes [Details | Paper].
- Meta has developed CM3Leon, a new multi-modal language model that excels in text-to-image generation and image captioning. Unlike most image generators that rely on diffusion, CM3Leon is a transformer model. It is more efficient, requiring five times less compute and a smaller training dataset than previous transformer-based methods [Details | Paper].
- OpenAI is rolling out custom instructions for ChatGPT, that will persist from conversation to conversation. By setting preferences, like a teacher specifying they're teaching 3rd-grade science or a developer wanting non-Python efficient code, ChatGPT will consider them in all future interactions. This feature isn't currently available in the UK and EU [Details].
- Google Deepmind presents CoDoC (Complementarity-driven Deferral-to-Clinical Workflow), an AI system that learns to decide when to rely on the opinions of predictive AI tools or defer to a clinician for the most accurate interpretation of medical images. The code is open-source [Details].
- Stability AI launch new developer platform site, with integrated sandbox environment merging the product and code surface areas [Details |Developer platform].
- Researchers present TokenFlow - a framework for text-driven video editing. It creates high-quality videos from a source video and a text-prompt, maintaining the input video's spatial layout and dynamics, without needing training or fine-tuning [Details].
- MosaicML released MPT-7B-8K, a 7B parameter open-source LLM with 8k context length. It can be fine-tuned on domain-specific data on the MosaicML platform [Details].
- AssemblyAI announced Conformer-2, their latest AI model for automatic speech recognition trained on 1.1M hours of English audio data with improvements on proper nouns, alphanumerics, and robustness to noise [Details].
- LangChain launches LangSmith, a unified developer platform for debugging, testing, evaluating, and monitoring LLM applications [Details].
- Microsoft announced, at its annual Inspire conference, new AI features to Azure, including the public preview of Vector search in Azure Cognitive Search and Document Generative AI solution to chat with documents [Details].
- Microsoft is rolling out Bing Chat Enterprise for businesses - Chat data is not saved, no one at Microsoft can view it or use it to train the models [Details].
- OpenAI is raising the ChatGPT Plus message limit for GPT-4 customers to 50 every 3 hours, to be rolled out in the coming week [Details].
- Qualcomm and Meta will enable Llama 2, to run on Qualcomm chips on phones and PCs starting in 2024 [Details].
- Wix’s new generative AI tool can create entire websites from prompts [Details].
- Apple has been working on its own AI chatbot ‘Apple GPT’ and framework, codenamed ‘Ajax’, to create large language models [Details].
- FTC investigates OpenAI over data leak and ChatGPT’s inaccuracy [Details].
