THE US ARMY IS USING ‘CAMOGPT' TO PURGE DEI FROM TRAINING MATERIALS

The US Army's TRADOC is using an AI tool, CamoGPT, to identify and remove DEIA references from training materials per an executive order by President Trump. CamoGPT, developed by the Army's AI Integration Center, scans documents for specific keywords and has about 4,000 users. The initiative is part of a wider government effort to eliminate DEIA content, leveraging AI for increased efficiency in aligning with national security objectives.

OPENAI'S EX-POLICY LEAD CRITICIZES THE COMPANY FOR 'REWRITING' ITS AI SAFETY HISTORY

Former OpenAI researcher Miles Brundage criticized the company for downplaying its cautious approach with GPT-2, which he claims aligns with today's deployment strategy. OpenAI's recent document outlines a continuous approach to AGI development, but Brundage warns this could lead to dismissing valid safety concerns. Competitive pressures could tempt OpenAI to prioritize faster releases over safety, raising questions about long-term risks.

02RESEARCH & INNOVATION

DERIVING MUON

Adam has been the dominant optimizer for years in deep learning. However, recently the community has found that Muon might be a viable alternative. It accomplishes many of the same things as muP without requiring modifications to the model. This post describes some of the theoretical motivations behind the optimizer.

DISTRACTOR AWARE SAM

Segment Anything (SAM) is an industry-leading model for visual analysis and segmentation. However, when there are two similar-looking objects in a video it can get confused. This new work tackles these “distractors” with additional memory augmentation and training.

AUTOREGRESSIVE STREAMING TEXT-TO-SPEECH MODEL FOR ANY LLM

A lightweight 30m parameter model that can be used to augment any language model to enable it to understand and generate speech in response to general purpose queries. Critically, it doesn't require tuning of the underlying model and therefore can transfer across models easily.

PENTAGON TO GIVE AI AGENTS A ROLE IN PLANNING, OPERATIONS

The US military has awarded a significant contract to Scale AI and partners including Anduril and Microsoft to integrate AI agents into operations for decision-making in military workflows. The Thunderforge project aims to enhance strategic planning speed and accuracy while maintaining human oversight. The Pentagon plans to eventually deploy this AI system across all its combatant commands.
