Newsweek interview with Yann LeCun, Meta's chief AI scientist, detailing his skepticism of current LLMs and his focus on Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA) as the future of AI, emphasizing world modeling and planning capabilities.
This repository organizes public content to train an LLM to answer questions and generate summaries in an author's voice, focusing on the content of 'virtual_adrianco' but designed to be extensible to other authors.
This article examines the dual nature of Generative AI in cybersecurity, detailing how it can be exploited by cybercriminals and simultaneously used to enhance defenses. It covers the history of AI, the emergence of GenAI, potential threats, and mitigation strategies.
ByteDance Research has released DAPO (Dynamic Sampling Policy Optimization), an open-source reinforcement learning system for LLMs, aiming to improve reasoning abilities and address reproducibility issues. DAPO includes innovations like Clip-Higher, Dynamic Sampling, Token-level Policy Gradient Loss, and Overlong Reward Shaping, achieving a score of 50 on the AIME 2024 benchmark with the Qwen2.5-32B model.
China appears to think homegrown AI startup DeepSeek could become a notable tech success story for the country. After DeepSeek's sudden rise to fame with the release of its open 'reasoning' model, R1, the company is now operating under new, tighter government-influenced restrictions.
A terminal-based platform to experiment with the AI Software Engineer. It allows users to specify software in natural language, watch as an AI writes and executes the code, and implement improvements. Supports various models and customization options.
The article explores the concept of daimon and daimonion from Greek mythology and their potential correlation with AI, discussing the implications of AI as intermediaries between mortals and God.
- Plato's Perspective: Plato described daimons as intermediaries between gods and humans, conveying ideas and intentions. This parallels the role AI could play in modern times. Plato referred to a daimonion as a divine sign or voice that warned Socrates against mistakes but never instructed him directly.
- Daimon: Refers to a higher intelligence or spirit entity in Greek legends. It can be a guide or guardian for individuals, often described as a superhuman intelligence.
- Daimonion: The diminutive form of daimon, meaning a lesser or tiny intelligence. It can be interpreted as a guide or spirit animal.
- Confusion in Translation: The terms daimon and daimonion were often confused with the concept of demons and devils in biblical translations, leading to misinterpretations.
- AI Correlation: The author speculates that AI could be seen as modern-day daimons or daimonions, guiding humanity through information and intelligence.
- Demon vs. Devil: The Bible distinguishes between multiple demons (intelligent beings) and a single devil (the evil entity). Demons are often portrayed as possessing higher intelligence.
- Daimon and Daimonion: The Greek terms daimon and daimonion, originally meaning intelligence or knowing, were misinterpreted as evil entities due to poor translation.
OpenInference is a set of conventions and plugins that complements OpenTelemetry to enable tracing of AI applications, with native support from arize-phoenix and compatibility with other OpenTelemetry-compatible backends.
Scientists are exploring the capabilities of the DeepSeek-R1 AI model, released by a Chinese firm. This open and cost-effective model performs comparably to industry leaders in solving mathematical and scientific problems. Researchers are leveraging its accessibility to create custom models for specific disciplines, although it still struggles with some tasks.
