LLAMA 3.1 AND 405B MODELS

Meta has released its first open frontier AI model along with training details. The model is on par with top closed models with a 128k context length, chat models, and a great open system.

HARVEY RAISES $100M SERIES C

The legal startup, now a unicorn, has raised from Google ventures and others to continue its push into big law firms.

OPEN SOURCE IS THE PATH FORWARD

Mark Zuckerberg outlined why open source is key to Meta's strategy and how Meta plans to support this work.

IMPROVED TEST-TIME ADAPTATION

STAble Memory rePlay (STAMP) is a method that addresses distribution shifts between training and test data using only unlabeled test data. Unlike existing methods, STAMP excels in both recognizing known classes and rejecting outliers during inference.

VIDEO POINT TRACKING

LocoTrack is an advanced model for tracking any point across video sequences. It uses local 4D correlation and bidirectional correspondence for precise tracking. LocoTrack operates nearly six times faster than current leading models.

STAR OPERATION TO TRAIN NEURAL NETWORKS

The star operation is a method that enriches AI models by projecting data into complex, high-dimensional spaces without the need for bulky architectures.

LLAMA AGENT STACK

Meta has released an example system for using its Llama models as agents to perform a variety of tasks.

TEXT-DRIVEN STYLIZATION WITH DIFFUSION MODELS

Artist is a training-free method that controls content and style generation in pretrained diffusion models for text-driven stylization.

OPEN-WORLD EXPLORATION IN MINECRAFT

Odyssey is a new framework that equips large language model-based agents with advanced skills for exploring Minecraft.

GUMLOOP SEED ROUND

Gumloop raised a $3.1M Seed round led by First Round Capital with participation from YC and co-founders at Instacart, Dropbox, and Airtable. Gumloop is a no-code AI automation platform that lets any employee within a business build their own AI tooling and have as much impact as an engineer.

AI DEVELOPMENT KITS: TENSTORRENT UPDATE

Tenstorrent has launched affordable AI development hardware, including the Wormhole n150 and n300 PCIe cards, priced at $999 and $1,399, as well as developer workstations, the air-cooled TT-LoudBox for $12,000 and water-cooled TT-QuietBox for $15,000, both designed to aid AI development with a focus on connectivity and scaled-out performance.

AI PREDICTS DROUGHTS A YEAR IN ADVANCE

Skoltech and Sber researchers have developed AI models that can predict droughts several months to a year in advance, improving risk management for agriculture, insurance, and finance sectors. The models, tested across various climates, utilize spatiotemporal neural networks and publicly available data. Russia's largest bank plans to integrate these findings into its risk assessment systems.
