🦹 OpenAI builds an AI to criticize its AI modelsLINK
OpenAI has developed a model called CriticGPT to evaluate ChatGPT's responses, focusing initially on detecting bugs in computer code generated by ChatGPT.
CriticGPT successfully identified approximately 85 percent of bugs in code, significantly outperforming human reviewers who only caught 25 percent of the errors.
This new approach aims to enhance alignment work, helping ensure AI systems like ChatGPT are more accurate and reliable by using AI to assist human trainers in evaluating outputs.
🔍 Amazon investigates Perplexity AI over scraping allegationsLINK
Amazon Web Services is conducting an investigation into Perplexity AI after Wired reported that Perplexity’s web crawler, hosted on AWS, bypasses the Robots Exclusion Protocol, which specifies whether bots can access certain pages. Wired found that this crawler visited various websites, including The Guardian, Forbes, and The New York Times, hundreds of times to scrape content, and noted that Perplexity's chatbot produced responses closely paraphrasing their articles with minimal attribution. Perplexity AI denies these allegations, asserting that their crawler respects robots.txt instructions, though they admitted it might bypass these instructions if a user includes a specific URL in their chatbot query, while also acknowledging the use of third-party crawlers.
🤷♂️ Zuckerberg disses closed-source AI competitors as trying to ‘create God’LINK
Mark Zuckerberg criticized competitors who build closed AI platforms, suggesting they act as if they are "creating God" by monopolizing AI technology.
He emphasized the importance of open-source AI to allow many people to access and experiment with the technology, fostering diverse innovations.
Zuckerberg also highlighted the progress in Meta's AI projects, including smart glasses and AI avatars, which aim to enhance user experience by integrating advanced, yet accessible, technologies.
💪 Google's Gemma 2 delivers powerhouse performance at a fraction of the costLINK
Google announced Gemma 2, a new generation of lightweight AI models designed for high performance and efficiency, available in sizes of 9 billion and 27 billion parameters.
The 27B Gemma 2 model delivers performance comparable to models more than twice its size, while the 9B version exceeds Llama 3 8B and other similar models in performance.
Google is making Gemma 2 free to use through Kaggle or a Colab free tier, with plans to release a 2.6B parameter model for smartphone AI in the coming months.
🔧 Meta’s new LLM Compiler could change the way we codeLINK
Meta's research team has open-sourced the Meta Large Language Model Compiler, which could significantly transform how software is compiled and optimized.
The LLM Compiler can make code optimization faster and more cost-efficient, potentially reducing resource and time needs in LLM development.
By achieving a high degree of code size optimization and disassembly task success, the LLM Compiler shows promise for enhancing software development efficiency and enabling new tools for complex application management.
