• Big case for the future of data collection practices in AI – OpenAI has a deadline to comply with European data protection laws by demonstrating either user consent or legitimate interest in data collection, and providing users control over their data. - MIT Technology Review
• Isomorphic Labs, a member of the Alphabet family, has announced new partnerships with pharmaceutical companies Eli Lilly and Novartis – the trend of big pharma cooperating with AI companies continues. - Isomorphic Labs
• Nvidia’s list of competitors keeps expanding – IntelR GaudiR 2 is a compelling option for LLM training and inference, and it punches above its weight, outperforming the NVIDIA A100 in all settings and matching the NVIDIA H100 in decoding latency (the most expensive phase of LLM inference). - Databricks
• DocLLM is JPMorgan’s new model that can understand different types of documents – conventional LLMs have trouble navigating different layouts of forms, invoices, receipts, or contracts, and this model aims to solve that, outperforming leading LLMs on most datasets used for testing. - arXiv
• AI enhances the assessment of the heart’s right ventricle, focusing on its ability to pump blood to the lungs – AI-enabled electrocardiogram (AI-ECG) analysis, shows effective prediction of right-side heart issues, offering a simpler alternative to complex imaging technologies. - Mount Sinai
• OpenAI is launching the GPT store this week – builders will finally have the opportunity to make money from their GPTs, and users will have a better overview of the many different GPTs available out there. - OpenAI
• Mamba is a possible alternative to the Transformer, the backbone of conventional models like GPT-4 – Transformers are computationally inefficient, Mamba is 5x faster, shows improved performance on real-world data even with sequences up to a million elements, and a small Mamba model performs similarly or even better than Transformers twice as large. - arXiv, X (Twitter), GitHub, GitHub
• Is there already an AI replica of you out there? Psychologist M. Seligman discovered a chatbot that a former student created based on his writings, bringing into light the legal and ethical challenges of AI replicas. - Politico
