02RESEARCH & INNOVATION

DEEPSEEK PAPER

One of the best coding models of last year was the DeepSeek LLM. It got close to GPT-3.5 on many benchmarks (even if it is likely 3x the size). Information about model training, token counts, model architecture, and more has been released in a technical report.

DENOISING VISION TRANSFORMERS

Vision Transformers (ViT) have taken over the vision community. They still sometimes display grid-like artifacts in their embeddings. This has made the community hesitant to adopt them for downstream tasks. This work proposes an update to the positional embeddings that eliminates this issue and gives a 25%+ boost for downstream vision tasks.

04MISCELLANEOUS

THE NEW YORK TIMES’S AI OPPORTUNITY

The New York Times' lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft claims that their AI technologies, including ChatGPT, were trained using millions of the newspaper's copyrighted articles, leading to AI-generated outputs that compete directly with the Times' services. The lawsuit seeks billions in damages and the destruction of AI models and data that used the Times' content, arguing that this constitutes copyright infringement and undermines the newspaper's investment in journalism, raising significant questions about the legalities of AI training practices and the impact of AI on traditional content creators.
