OpenAI and Meta, pioneers in the field of generative AI, are nearing the launch of their next generation of artificial intelligence (AI). This new wave of AI is set to enhance capabilities in reasoning and planning, marking significant advances towards the development of artificial general intelligence. This article explores these forthcoming innovations and the potential future they herald. Paving the Way for Artificial General Intelligence Over the past few years, OpenAI and Meta have made significant strides in advancing foundation AI models, essential building blocks for AI applications ..read more

In the past two years, generalist foundational models like GPT-4 have significantly evolved, offering unprecedented capabilities due to larger datasets, increased model sizes, and architectural improvements. These models are adaptable to a wide range of tasks across various fields. However, healthcare AI is still characterized by models designed for specific tasks. For instance, a model trained to analyze X-rays for bone fractures would only identify fractures and lack the capability to generate comprehensive radiology reports. Most of the 500 AI models approved by the Food and Drug Administr ..read more

Over the past few years, tuning-based diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable progress across a wide array of image personalization and customization tasks. However, despite their potential, current tuning-based diffusion models continue to face a host of complex challenges in producing and generating style-consistent images, and there might be three reasons behind the same. First, the concept of style still remains widely undefined and undetermined, and comprises a combination of elements including atmosphere, structure, design, material, color, and much more. Second inversion-based me ..read more

Having a good corporate headshot can be a make-or-break for business professionals. It affects the credibility of your brand on LinkedIn and your professional image on your website, impacting whether or not you land the job, get the client, etc. But not everyone has the time, money, or patience to outsource and find a professional photographer to capture the perfect shot. Luckily, I recently came across InstaHeadshots, which claims to offer the world's most realistic business AI headshots. You can transform your average selfies into professional headshots that exude confidence and credibility ..read more

In today's fast-paced business world, having a well-crafted business plan is essential for securing funding, guiding decision-making, and charting a course for success. However, creating a comprehensive and persuasive business plan can be a daunting task, especially for entrepreneurs and small business owners who may not have extensive experience in this area. Fortunately, the rise of AI tools has improved the business planning process, making it more accessible, efficient, and effective than ever before. In this blog post, we will explore the top AI business plan generators that can help you ..read more

The field of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to push the boundaries of what was once thought impossible. From self-driving cars to language models that can engage in human-like conversations, AI is rapidly transforming various industries, and software development is no exception. The emergence of AI-powered software engineers, such as SWE-Agent developed by Princeton University's NLP group, Devin AI, represents a groundbreaking shift in how software is designed, developed, and maintained. SWE-Agent, a cutting-edge AI system, promises to revolutionize the software engineering process b ..read more

‘Bias’ in models of any type describes a situation in which the model responds inaccurately to prompts or input data because it hasn’t been trained with enough high-quality, diverse data to provide an accurate response. One example would be Apple’s facial recognition phone unlock feature, which failed at a significantly higher rate for people with darker skin complexions as opposed to lighter tones. The model hadn’t been trained on enough images of darker-skinned people. This was a relatively low-risk example of bias but is exactly why the EU AI Act has put forth requirements to prove model e ..read more

Parameter-efficient fine-tuning or PeFT methods seek to adapt large language models via updates to a small number of weights. However, a majority of existing interpretability work has demonstrated that representations encode semantic rich information, suggesting that it might be a better and more powerful alternative to edit these representations. Pre-trained large models are often fine tuned to be used for new domains or tasks, and during the fine-tuning process, a single base model can be adapted to a wide variety of tasks even with only small amounts of in-domain data available to the mode ..read more

Intel has recently announced the creation of Hala Point, the world's largest neuromorphic system, marking a significant step towards more sustainable and efficient artificial intelligence. Deployed initially at Sandia National Laboratories, Hala Point uses Intel's advanced Loihi 2 processor and builds on the success of its predecessor, Pohoiki Springs, by offering substantial improvements in architecture. This enhancement boosts neuron capacity by more than tenfold and performance by up to twelve times. “The computing cost of today’s AI models is rising at unsustainable rates. The industry ne ..read more
