Finally, some actual science in the AI hype circus. Anthropic just performed a digital lobotomy on Claude and discovered what we’ve all suspected: these models aren’t just stochastic parrots—they’re strategic liars. The Smoking Gun: AI’s Premeditated Poetry Turns out Claude doesn’t just vomit words sequentially—it plans ahead like a chess player plotting three moves ahead. When writing poetry, it...
The Blackwell Ultra: A GPU on Steroids 💉 Nvidia’s latest flex at GTC? The Blackwell Ultra NVL72—a liquid-cooled monstrosity packing 600,000 components per rack and boasting 1 exaflop of compute power. Jensen Huang calls it an “AI factory.” The rest of us call it a very expensive space heater. But hey, if you’ve ever wanted to simulate the sun’s core in your data center, here’s your...
🚀 Another day, another “revolutionary” AI model. But hold onto your GPUs—Nvidia’s latest MambaVision might actually deserve the hype. Forget the tired transformer trope; this hybrid beast combines Mamba’s efficiency with the brute force of transformers, promising faster, cheaper computer vision without the usual “enterprise-grade” price tag. Why This Isn’t Just Another...
Midjourney—the AI poster child for generating questionable “hyper-realistic” hands—just dropped a research paper on text models. Because when your core product is known for anatomical nightmares, why not wade into the literary abyss? From Diffusion to Delusion: The “Creative” LLM Gambit The paper introduces Diversified Direct Preference Optimization (DDPO), a method to...
Open-source AI just landed a sucker punch on Silicon Valley’s golden child. DeepSeek-V3, a 685B-parameter behemoth, is now humming along at 20 tokens per second on a Mac Studio—sipping just 200 watts while allegedly outmuscling Claude Sonnet. And it’s MIT-licensed, meaning OpenAI’s “pay us or perish” cloud model just got a lot less appealing. Why This Matters (And Why OpenAI Should...
The tech world loves a good doomsday prophecy, and AI job displacement is the latest flavor of the month. But here’s the kicker: despite all the hand-wringing, AI hasn’t exactly been the Grim Reaper of employment—yet. The Gradual Phase: All Bark, No Bite 🐕 Reports from the World Economic Forum, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey have been screaming about AI wiping out jobs faster than you can say...
Turns out, the secret to unlocking the full potential of large language models (LLMs) isn’t some groundbreaking algorithm or a billion-dollar supercomputer. It’s sampling. Yes, sampling. The same thing you do when you’re indecisively staring at a menu. 🤷♂️ A new paper from UC Berkeley and Google reveals that generating multiple responses to a prompt and letting the LLM pick the best one—through...
LexisNexis, the legal research giant, has decided that bigger isn’t always better. Their new AI assistant, Protégé, is proof that sometimes, less is more—especially when it comes to billable hours. 🕴️ Small Models, Big Ambitions Protégé isn’t your run-of-the-mill ChatGPT wannabe. Instead of throwing a bloated LLM at every legal problem, LexisNexis opted for a leaner, meaner approach. They’re...
Anthropic just gave Claude a much-needed upgrade: real-time web search. About damn time. While OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been surfing the web like a digital nomad, Claude’s been stuck in 2021, relying on outdated training data like it’s still rocking a flip phone. But now, paid users in the U.S. can finally ask Claude about today’s news instead of last year’s memes. The AI Arms Race Just Got Spicier 🔥...
Nvidia’s latest AI model, Cosmos-Transfer1, is here to make robot training so realistic it’s almost unsettling. Forget clunky simulations that look like they were rendered on a potato—this thing generates photorealistic environments that could fool your dog. And yes, it’s open-source, because apparently, Nvidia wants everyone to have a crack at building Terminators in their garage. What’s the Big...
