Inside the Creation of DBRX, the World’s Most Powerful Open Source AI Model

This past Monday, about a dozen engineers and executives at data science and AI company Databricks gathered in conference rooms connected via Zoom to learn if they had succeeded in building a top artificial intelligence language model. The team had spent months, and about $10 million, training DBRX, a large language model similar in design … Read more

AI Is Becoming More Powerful—but Also More Secretive

Nathan Strauss, a spokesperson for Amazon said the company is closely reviewing the index. “Titan Text is still in private preview, and it would be premature to gauge the transparency of a foundation model before it’s ready for general availability,” he says. Meta declined to comment on the Stanford report and OpenAI did not respond … Read more

A Groundbreaking Human Brain Cell Atlas Just Dropped

Today, an international team of researchers shared an extraordinarily detailed atlas of human brain cells, mapping its staggering diversity of neurons. The atlas was published as part of a massive package of 21 papers in the journal Science, each taking complementary approaches to the same overarching questions: What cell types exist in the brain? And … Read more

Geoffrey Hinton, Godfather of AI, Has a Hopeful Plan for Conserving Future AI Pleasant

That sounded to me like he was anthropomorphizing these synthetic programs, one thing scientists continuously inform laypeople and journalists to not do. “Scientists do exit of their approach not to try this, as a result of anthropomorphizing most issues is foolish,” Hinton concedes. “However they’re going to have discovered these issues from us, they’re going … Read more

A Radical Plan to Make AI Good, Not Evil

It’s straightforward to freak out about extra superior synthetic intelligence—and rather more troublesome to know what to do about it. Anthropic, a startup based in 2021 by a gaggle of researchers who left OpenAI, says it has a plan.  Anthropic is engaged on AI fashions much like the one used to energy OpenAI’s ChatGPT. However the startup introduced immediately … Read more
