THE MULTI-MODAL, MULTI-MODEL, MULTI-EVERYTHING FUTURE OF AGI

OpenAI's latest artificial intelligence language model, GPT-4, has improved significantly from its last iteration, GPT-3. It can perform new tasks like math and help with taxes. GPT-4 is also considered safer, with 20-30% less hallucinations and unsafe content. It is a multimodal model that can read images and text, convert sketches of websites into code, and offer summarizations of images. Currently, access to the API is on a waitlist. The multimodal visual API capability is exclusively available only for BeMyEyes, an assistive app for the visually impaired.

HOW SIRI, ALEXA AND GOOGLE ASSISTANT LOST THE A.I. RACE

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant had more than a decade to become indispensable, but they were hampered by clunky design and miscalculations. The tech world is now gushing over AI-powered bots such as ChatGPT. ChatGPT has been used to handle complex tasks like coding software, drafting business proposals, and writing fiction. The excitement around chatbots illustrates how Siri, Alexa, and other voice assistants have squandered their lead in the AI race. Many big tech companies are now racing to come up with responses to ChatGPT.

GPT-4 IS EXCITING AND SCARY

The article discusses the author's experience testing GPT-4 by asking it a variety of questions — to help with a tax problem, to come up with a new word, to plan a birthday party. The author found that GPT-4 was capable of a wider range of tasks, more fluid in its responses, and seemed to have more guardrails in place than its predecessor. GPT-4 also scored high on a variety of tests, including the Uniform Bar Exam and the Biology Olympiad. While the article acknowledges the positive potential of GPT-4, it also discusses the negative side — the thought of AI being smarter than humans, ethical implications of such technology, and the potential for misuse. Also, another correction from yesterday’s newsletter: GPT-4 can take both _IMAGES_ and text as inputs, but not video. Sorry for the brain fart! Maybe I should have had GPT-4 proofread it :)

ADEPT AI RAISES $350M IN SERIES B FUNDING

Adept has raised $350M in new funding as part of their Series B led by General Catalyst and Spark Capital. Adept is a research and product AI lab that automates software processes for developers. It's similar to robotic process automation (RPA), or software robots that use a combination of automation, computer vision, and machine learning to automate repetitive tasks like filing forms and responding to emails. Adept is creating general intelligence by allowing humans and computers to collaborate creatively.

IN LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS

This paper proposes a solution to the challenge of fine-tuning and task-specific prompt engineering that can limit the generalization abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). The proposed method, UPRISE, uses a lightweight and versatile retriever to automatically retrieve prompts for a given zero-shot task input, and demonstrates universality in a cross-task and cross-model scenario. The method is tested on a diverse set of tasks, using a small frozen LLM for tuning and testing on much larger LLMs, and is shown to mitigate the hallucination problem in experiments with ChatGPT, suggesting potential to improve even the strongest LLMs.

EDIT-A-VIDEO: A TEXT-TO-VIDEO APPROACH FOR VIDEO EDITING

This paper presents Edit-A-Video, a framework for video editing based on text-to-video (TTV) models adapted from diffusion-based text-to-image (TTI) models. The proposed framework inflates the 2D model into a 3D model, and inverts the source video into the noise to edit with a target text prompt and attention map injection, while also mitigating the background inconsistency problem through a novel mask blending method. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed method in terms of background consistency, text alignment, and video editing quality compared to baselines.
