MISTAKE—AND ‘IT’S OVER’

Many CEOs, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, believe that remote work is not effective. Altman believes that startups require a lot of in-person collaboration, especially when working through intricate ideas. CEOs are demanding that remote workers spend more time in the office. Remote employees argue that they are content with working from home and do not wish to return to pre-pandemic office routines.

MIRAGE

A ByteDance public offering would mean billions of dollars in profits for its investors, but venture capitalists are keeping quiet about any potential public offering due to issues with TikTok.

SHAP-E

Shap-E is a conditional generative model for 3D assets that can be rendered as both texture meshes and neural radiance fields.

FITTING THE GREAT GATSBY IN CONTEXT

Language models take text queries as input and output text responses. The length of both query and output are referred to as the context. Language models have limited context length (ChatGPT is 8k 'words'). With some cool recent algorithmic changes, MosaicML has released a model that can operate in 65k 'words'. This is enough to fit the entire novel Great Gatsby in context and have the model write an epilogue.

AI CHAT ASSISTANTS CAN IMPROVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT DIVISIVE TOPICS

We live in a somewhat divisive world and it's hard to have meaningful conversations where understanding is fostered. Interestingly, if you have an AI chatbot intermediate conversations about difficult topics - both parties report improved outcomes and understanding.

ZIPIT, MERGING MODELS TRAINED ON DIFFERENT TASKS

Let's say we have two different models of the same architecture trained on different tasks. Is it possible to merge them into a single model that works well on both tasks? Current methods like rebasin or model soup don't work because of the presence of different task-specific features. This new work proposes a way forward with the two step process which improves as much as 60% over previous algorithms.

TEXT TO 3D WITH SHAP-E

OpenAI has quietly been working on text to 3D with a few releases. This new work is a fun addition to that line of research. It works fairly well in standard objects or objects with a few compositional ideas. This model can also create 3D objects from 2D images, although that doesn't seem to work quite as well.

HIPOOL: MODELING LONG DOCUMENTS USING GRAPH NEURAL NETWORKS

Encoding long chunks of text is a tough task for natural language processing (NLP) models. This study improves the process by using graphs and a new attention mechanism, which helps the model understand relationships between sentences and perform better on longer sequences.

IMPROVING AI COMMONSENSE UNDERSTANDING

Today's language models can still make silly mistakes when it comes to commonsense knowledge. VERA is a new model that estimates the plausibility of statements based on commonsense, helping to filter out incorrect information and improve performance in real-world settings.

OTTER: A MULTI-MODAL MODEL WITH IN-CONTEXT INSTRUCTION TUNING

This study introduces a new method, called MIMIC-IT, for improving how models like Otter understand and follow instructions in different situations, including images and text. By making these models more accessible, researchers can use them more easily to create better AI systems.

COINBASE TRIES NOVEL DEFENSE IN SEC FIGHT

Coinbase is currently squaring off with the SEC about the regulatory body’s claims that Coinbase was operating as a stock exchange and brokerage without adhering to investor-protection rules. One of the main lines of defense Coinbase is leveraging is that the SEC approved the company to go public in April 2021, claiming the regulatory body signaled that its core business was not unlawful. However, securities lawyers point out that the SEC's review process only examines companies' risk disclosures to investors, not their business models' legality. The SEC also maintains that disclosure reviews don't determine compliance with laws beyond disclosure and accounting.

WHAT IS A VECTOR DATABASE?

Many AI applications that involve large language models or generative AI rely on vector embeddings, a type of data representation that carries within it semantic information that’s critical for the AI to gain understanding and maintain a long-term memory they can draw upon when executing complex tasks. Vector databases offer optimized storage and querying capabilities for embeddings. They have the capabilities of a traditional database that are absent in standalone vector indexes and the specialization of dealing with vector embeddings, which traditional scalar-based databases lack.

HOW TO WRITE TYPE-SAFE CSS MODULES

CSS Modules helps you write modular and scoped CSS styles using CSS. At build time, CSS Modules generate unique class names to link with JavaScript. However, since class names are generated at runtime and change between builds, it’s hard to use them in a type-safe way. This blog explains the problem and solution in detail.
