there are reports from Reuters that OpenAI has a new large language model called Q* (Q Star) that is capable of solving simple math problems. The researchers involved believe it is a major step toward creating artificial general intelligence (AGI) and possibly artificial superintellence (ASI). Some at OpenAI believe Q* (pronounced Q-Star) could be a …
Dave Lee talks about the future of OpenAI, their new GPT-5 plans, Tesla’s FSD v12 and more in this livestream. Financial Times – OpenAI chief, Sam Altman, is seeks=ing new Microsoft funds to build superintelligence. Sam Altman expects big tech group will back start-up’s mission to create software as intelligent as humans. OpenAI was working …
Walter Isaacson biography 94th chapter is about AI for humans. This describes the origin, purpose and some details about X.AI. Elon Musk was musing that he was certain he could make Twitter (now X) into the largest financial institution in the world. However, he wanted to spend his time on more meaningful things. One of …
Geordi Rose and Suzanne Gildert at Sanctuary AI are one of the world leading companies working on humanoid robotics and AGI (artificial general intelligence). They have an interesting thought experiment about how much data it would take to generate a human like general intelligence. However, this would be an NPC (non-player character) style general intelligence. …
Geordie Rose (CEO) and Suzanne Gildert (CTO) look at their Phoenix™ humanoid robot and Carbon™– their AI that they are developing towards AGI (artificial general intelligence). They explore the role of simulation in achieving Artificial General Intelligence and other technical aspects of their path to AGI. In March, Sanctuary AI announced it completed its first …
Rob Mauer of Tesla Daily has some highlight notes from the X.AI twitter space and Farzad has a supercut of the Twitter space. It sounds like Elon said that Tesla work on AI seems to have given them insights into AGI. Tesla over-complicated the problem. This suggests that simplifying and scaling up their systems could …
Nvidia’s huge financial performance for the quarter and strong guidance is boosting AMD, Microsoft and Tesla in the afterhours. I think though the performance of AI will be data limited. You can only boil down and condense the available human knowledge. But moving toward optimal performance will improve things. It will be like having pocket …
Global AI startup funding peaked in 2021 and is now about 30% of the peak levels according to CBI Insights. Three out of five new Unicorn companies were Generative AI companies. Anthropic, Adept, and Character.AI all gained valuations of $1B or above. Brian WangBrian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular Science blogger …
Geoffrey Hinton is the godfather of modern neural network AI which is the basis of Large Language Models like Palm-2 and GPT-4. He said : if you look at these large language models they have about a trillion connections and things like OpenAI’s GPT-4 know much more than we do they have sort of Common …
Google released a Large Language Model PaLM 2 which is competitive with OpenAI’s GPT 4. Google also announced they are already training Gemini which is a GPT 5 competitor. Gemeni likely use TPU v5 chips. Benchmarks for PaLM-2 beats GPT 4. They use SmartGPT-like techniques to boost performance. PaLM 2 beats even Google Translate, due …
