• At the first ever OpenAI DevDay, the keynote was exciting but the announcements even more so – soon you’ll be able to create your own GPT agent combining different ChatGPT capabilities and your own data, and access GPT-4 Turbo with a huge, 128k context window.
• Microsoft’s Phi 1.5 is powerful, multimodal, and tiny (1.3 billion parameters compared to GPT-4’s 1.7 trillion) – it’s an open-source model that’s cheap to run and energy-efficient, but not a replacement for large models, rather something that can complement them. - Semafor, Huggingface
• If you’ve been waiting for a model that can generate 3D assets, your prayers have been answered – Genie from Luma Labs is a SOTA 3D foundation model, and you can use it for free right now (you only need to sign in with Discord). - Luma Labs, X (Twitter)
• The first model from Elon Musk's xAI company is here, hard to test because it’s early access with a waitlist available for Premium X users, the performance is far from GPT-4 but it has other advantages – a strong personality and no censorship (it’ll tell you how to make cocaine). - xAI
• Regulation update:
-DeepMind CEO defends pushing for regulatory capture because AI risk is too nuanced to ignore,
-27 governments signed the Bletchley Declaration for human-centric and responsible AI development,
-Mozilla joins the discussion with a pro open-source statement,
-notable figures released a pro open-source letter to Biden regarding the AI executive order.
• The new most powerful open-source model comes from China – Yi-34B defeats even Llama 2 70B on several big benchmarks. - 01.AI
