FBI SEARCHES HOME OF TOP FTX EXECUTIVE

The FBI searched the home of Ryan Salame, a former FTX executive and major Republican campaign donor. Salame has recently come under scrutiny due to the $24 million in campaign contributions he made during last year’s primaries. These contributions were part of an aggregate $90 million worth of donations made to political campaigns by former FTX employees. The crux of the scrutiny is that authorities and court filings are claiming most of these funds were misappropriated from FTX exchange users. The search indicates the ongoing investigation into FTX's collapse, as federal prosecutors prepare for the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, the cryptocurrency exchange's founder, who faces charges of fraud and illegal campaign finance schemes.

SUI PERFORMANCE UPDATE

As it gears up for mainnet launch on May 3, Sui has achieved a peak throughput between 10,871 to 297,000 transactions per second with 100 globally distributed validators as it has been running tests on the network. The time to finality is around 480 milliseconds. Sui uses Programmable Transaction Blocks (PTB), allowing complex, composable sequences of transactions with atomic execution. PTB supports up to 1024 transactions, enabling unbounded expressivity and efficiency. Sui plans to refine scalability and benchmark tooling, horizontal scalability for intra-validator scaling, and resilience to individual validator under-performance in the future.

THE INTERACTIVE GUIDE TO RENDERING IN REACT

React is generally a simple model to understand, where a view is a function of the state. However, there is one concept that is harder to understand: rendering. Exactly when and how does React update the view? This interactive guide makes understanding React rendering simple.

NEXT ROUTE VISUALIZER

Next Route Visualizer is designed to display the routes for the ‘app’ directory of Next.js 13 in a visual tree-like fashion. This package aims to help developers better understand the routes in their Next.js app directory by providing a clear visual representation of the routes and their relationships. This package can be useful if you are new to the Next.js 13’s new ‘app’ directory and need to visualize it.

DEEPFLOYD IF

DeepFloyd IF is a modular model designed to generate high-quality images from text prompts. The base model creates 64x64 pixel images, while two super-resolution models create 256x256 px and 1024x1024 px versions of the image. DeepFloyd IF achieves a zero-shot FID score of 6.66 on the COCO dataset, outperforming current state-of-the-art models. Examples of images generated by DeepFloyd IF are available in the repository.

LANGUAGE MODELS FOR PLANNING

Language models are great at producing plausible text and in certain cases reasonable plans. However, in general, they fail to generate long horizon plans. Without changing the model at all, even via fine-tuning, with special prompts we can dramatically improve the success of both plan generation and plan execution. Specifically, language models generate a plan language (fed a few-shot example) and that plan is executed by an actual planner then the resulting plans are translated back to natural language. The improvement is massive.

MACHINE TRANSLATION NEEDS ATTENTION

The Structured State Spaces for Sequences (S4) model, successful in various tasks, is applied to Machine Translation (MT), but lags behind the Transformer by 4 BLEU points and struggles with long sentences. This gap is attributed to S4's inability to summarize full source sentences in a single hidden state, which can be remedied by introducing an attention mechanism.

HOW TO TRAIN LLMS TO BE COMPETENT AND ETHICAL

One negative side effect of training agents to maximize reward is that they often become power seeking, meaning they try to increase their resources and access to information. This is a novel finding and somewhat hard to measure, this paper introduces a benchmark to help understand the power seeking behavior of these language models. Additionally, they give insights on how to train models to both act with high utility and according to moral guidelines. The world needs more high quality benchmarks and this is an excellent step in that direction.

DEEPFLOYD IF CODE RELEASED

The next image model from Stability AI has a code release. The model weights, blog, inference, and tooling will be coming in a few days. It is a multi-stage model with a frozen T5 text encoder and two super resolution models. One big win here is the ability to render extremely high quality text. The claim is that this model will likely be for research only at first, then open after some community feedback.

POSEVOCAB: LEARNING POSE EMBEDDINGS FOR HUMAN AVATAR MODELING

PoseVocab, a novel pose encoding method for human avatar modeling, constructs key poses and latent embeddings to effectively encode dynamic human appearances and achieve pose generalization and temporal consistency. The method outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in synthesis quality through the use of feature lines, a compact 3D representation, and a hierarchical query strategy for interpolating pose embeddings.
