NOUS RESEARCH RELEASES HERMES 2.5 VISION MODEL

Built on top of the best 7B language model with SigLIP integration, this vision model is a powerful new open source text and vision model that can run on consumer hardware. One of the cool innovations here is the integration of function calling. The model is still in alpha because of a hallucination issue.

PERPLEXITY AI UNVEILS ‘ONLINE’ LLMS THAT COULD DETHRONE GOOGLE SEARCH

Perplexity AI's combination of a web index and up-to-date information with a conversational AI chatbot-style interface has the potential to dethrone Google. The company recently released fine-tuned and augmented versions of open source models from Mistral and Meta. The models aim to offer helpful, factual, and up-to-date information. They are the first-ever live LLM APIs that are grounded with web search data and have no knowledge cutoff.

AI AND TRUST

The speaker in the talk highlights the distinction between interpersonal and social trust, cautioning that our tendency to anthropomorphize AI as friends rather than services can be exploited by profit-driven corporations. They advocate for government intervention through transparency laws and regulations aimed at humans behind AI and call for the development of public AI models to ensure AI remains a trustworthy and beneficial service in society.
