The field of artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, with increasing efforts to develop more capable and efficient language models. However, scaling these models comes with challenges, particularly regarding computational resources and the complexity of training. The research community is still exploring best practices for scaling extremely large models, whether they use a dense or Mixture-of-Experts… Read more

In the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, integrating vision and language capabilities remains a complex challenge. Traditional models often struggle with tasks requiring a nuanced understanding of both visual and textual data, leading to limitations in applications such as image analysis, video comprehension, and interactive tool use. These challenges underscore the need for more sophisticated… Read more

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have emerged as a promising approach towards artificial general intelligence, integrating diverse sensing signals into a unified framework. However, MLLMs face substantial challenges in fundamental vision-related tasks, significantly underperforming compared to human capabilities. Critical limitations persist in object recognition, localization, and motion recall, presenting obstacles to comprehensive visual understanding. Despite… Read more

With the current conversation about widespread LLMs in AI, it is crucial to understand some of the basics involved. Despite their general-purpose pretraining in developing LLMs, most require fine-tuning to excel in specific tasks, domains, or applications. Fine-tuning tailors a model’s performance, making it efficient and precise for specialized use cases. Today, let’s examine the… Read more

Apple has released iOS 18 — plus iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, watchOS 11, and other new updates — bringing several key updates to how the company’s devices operate and setting the stage for generative AI features. The most discussed feature of iOS 18 is the Apple Intelligence suite. With the release of iOS 18.2 on… Read more

The US Office of Personnel Management is telling federal workers to get in line—or get out. Read more

TikTok is mostly back online after briefly going dark in the US to comply with the divest-or-ban law that went into effect on January 19th. On January 20th, Donald Trump issued an executive order “instructing the Attorney General not to take any action to enforce the Act for a period of 75 days from today.”… Read more
