Ever heard of MiniMax? They're not just about creating realistic AI videos like Hailuo. Today, they've unveiled something huge: the MiniMax-01 series. This includes MiniMax-Text-01, a large language model (LLM), and MiniMax-VL-01, a visual multi-modal model. The star of the show is MiniMax-Text-01, which can handle a massive 4 million tokens in its context window. Th...
Imagine this: even a tiny bit of wrong information in the training data of AI models can make a huge difference. A study from a university in New York set out to prove this. They used a popular database, The Pile, and focused on three medical areas – general medicine, neurosurgery, and medications. Out of millions of references in The Pile, they tested only 60 topics...
Have you ever wondered how air pollution affects your city? In Delhi, air quality is a big deal. Scientists have been trying to predict it better using something called artificial intelligence, or AI. They've been looking at several pollutants like Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Oxides, Ozone, Sulphur Dioxide, and tiny particles called PM2. 5 and PM10. They collected data...
Last year, Inflection AI was a big deal, creating top AI models they claimed were better than Google, Meta, and OpenAI. But times have changed. Mustafa Suleyman, their former CEO, now works for Microsoft, and Inflection has shifted its focus. They're no longer trying to outdo competitors with new AI models. Instead, they've been buying other AI startups to help big b...
Imagine a world where sounds can be created from scratch, just by typing a description. Nvidia's latest AI model, "Fugatto, " is doing just that. This isn't your average AI; it can make sounds that have never existed before. The secret lies in special training methods and combining techniques. While you can't play with Fugatto yet, Nvidia has shown off some cool sam...
Google has just released a new AI model called Gemini-Exp-1114, and it's already making waves in the AI community. This model, part of Google DeepMind's Gemini family, is so impressive that it immediately took the top spot on the Imarena Chatbot Arena leaderboard. This platform allows AI labs to compete anonymously, with users voting without knowing which model is wh...
Get ready for a change! GitHub Copilot is shaking things up by moving away from just using OpenAI models. Instead, it's adopting a multi-model strategy. This means developers will have more options to choose from when writing code. First up, GitHub Copilot Chat will support Anthropic's Claude 3. 5 Sonnet and later, Google's Gemini 1. 5 Pro. Plus, it will still offer...
Cohere has just unveiled two exciting AI models, Aya Expanse 8B and 35B, under its ambitious Aya project. The goal? To close the language gap in AI technology. These models, now available on Hugging Face, support 23 different languages. Cohere's blog post explains that the 35B parameter model offers top-notch multilingual capabilities, while the 8B model makes cuttin...
Liquid AI, a startup co-founded by former researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), has made a significant breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence. Instead of relying on the transformer architecture, Liquid has developed a new type of AI model called the Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs) that are designed to be...
The AI world is always buzzing with activity, and this week was no exception. Google and Meta, two of the biggest players in the AI game, made significant updates to their AI models. Google released new Gemini models, which boasted improved performance and reduced costs. Meta, on the other hand, launched Llama 3.2, a major update to its open-weights AI model lineup. ...
