Deep Dive 🔍

• Google DeepMind's JEST: 13x faster AI training with less computing 🔥
  
  DeepMind's new JEST method accelerates AI training by 13x while reducing computing power by 90%. Using two AI models to identify the most valuable training data, JEST optimizes multimodal AI models for image and text processing. The Flexi-JEST variant simplifies the model evaluation process, achieving top performance with only 10% of the data. This innovation could revolutionize how AI learns from small, curated datasets, effectively handling large, unstructured data.

  
  
  

• From brain to image: Radboud's AI breakthrough 🧠
  
  Researchers at Radboud University created an AI that can accurately recreate images from brain activity. Using fMRI scans and electrode recordings, the AI learned to focus on specific brain areas, boosting reconstruction accuracy. The images show what a monkey saw (top row) and what the AI recreated (bottom row). Lead researcher Umut Güçlü calls these "the closest, most accurate reconstructions" yet. Despite some limitations, this tech has the potential to revolutionize communication for stroke victims and beyond.
  
  
  

  

  
  

• French AI lab Kyutai unveils conversational AI assistant Moshi, plans open-source release 🚀
  
  French AI startup Kyutai has introduced Moshi, a real-time conversational AI assistant. Developed in just six months by a team of eight, Moshi boasts a latency of 200-240 milliseconds. Using an "audio language model" that compresses audio data into pseudowords, it was trained with diverse sources like human motion data, YouTube videos, and synthetic dialogue. Kyutai envisions Moshi enhancing accessibility for people with disabilities. A demo is available online, and the technology will soon be released as open-source for developers and researchers to explore and expand.
  
  

  

• Tencent's Persona Hub: A billion AI-generated characters for data training 🤖
  
  Tencent AI Lab in Seattle has developed a method for generating synthetic data using AI-driven personas, called the Persona Hub, with over a billion personas. These personas are created through "Text-to-Persona" and "Persona-to-Persona" techniques. This approach enhances dataset diversity for AI training, achieving high accuracy in fields like math problem-solving. The innovation suggests a future shift towards AI-generated data, reducing reliance on human-sourced data.
  
  

  

  
  

• Figure AI's humanoid robot joins BMW for car assembly 🚗🤖
  
  Figure 01, a humanoid robot by Figure AI, now aids vehicle assembly at BMW's Spartanburg plant. Standing at 1.6 meters and weighing 60 kg, it can handle a 20 kg payload for up to five hours. Equipped with neural networks and advanced processing from OpenAI, it translates visual data into precise actions. Similar robotic technologies are being explored by Honda, Hyundai, and Mercedes.
