Deep Dive 🔍

• OpenAI's New Era: Leadership returns, board transformation, and AGI advancements 🚀
  
  OpenAI, undergoing significant board restructuring and leadership changes, welcomes back Sam Altman as CEO. Despite owning 49%, Microsoft will only have a non-voting observer seat, underscoring a unique arrangement 🔄. The initial board, including Bret Taylor as Chair, will continue collaborating with former board member Ilya Sutskever. OpenAI, resilient through its crisis, retains all employees and customers, focusing on research, product deployment, and governance improvements 🌐. However, major investors like Microsoft, Thrive Capital, and Khosla Ventures are excluded from the new nine-member board, prioritizing security over investor returns. Amidst these changes, OpenAI remains dedicated to AGI development and navigating legal challenges. 🤖

• Meta's AI lab turns 10 with three new AI projects 🎉
  
  Meta's FAIR (Fundamental AI Research) team, celebrating its 10th anniversary, introduces Ego-Exo4D, Seamless Communication, and Audiobox. Ego-Exo4D focuses on complex human activities and has applications in augmented reality, robotics and social networking. The dataset will be available as open source in December, and a benchmark competition is planned for next year. Seamless Communication consists of four models that enable expression, nuance, and rapid translation across language boundaries. Audiobox, a new audio generation model, allows the creation of sounds and speech using natural language prompts. Meta's advancements underscore a significant leap in AI research and application.

• Deepmind's GNoME AI tool speeds up crystal research by 800 years 💎
  
  Google Deepmind's GNoME AI tool predicts over 2.2 million new crystals, including 380,000 stable compounds, aiding future technology developments. The tool accelerates inorganic crystal discovery using graph networks, surpassing centuries of traditional research. GNoME's training involved quantum physics principles and publicly available data, enhanced by active learning for improved stability predictions.🚀 The AI's predictions have been experimentally confirmed, with 736 new crystals synthesized, and the data on most stable candidates is now globally available. GNoME signifies a major advancement in material science, guiding the synthesis of potentially revolutionary technologies.🔬

• Perplexity introduces online LLMs with real-time information 💡
  
  Perplexity introduces pplx-7b-online and pplx-70b-online, advanced language models that integrate real-time internet data for accurate, up-to-date information. These models outperform existing LLMs like GPT-3.5 in robustness and knowledge across various subjects. Addressing limitations highlighted in the FRESHLLMS paper, Perplexity's LLMs bring a significant improvement in freshness and factual accuracy. The models are publicly accessible via Perplexity's API and web interface, empowering developers to leverage this technology. This launch marks a major step towards democratizing AI, with potential widespread applications.

• GPT-4 shines in Microsoft radiology study, outperforming human experts on some tasks 🩺
  
  AI, particularly GPT-4, is increasingly integrated into healthcare, showing promise in diagnostics and patient engagement. GPT-4 excels in radiology, outperforming existing models by approximately 10% in some tasks and even matching experienced radiologists in report summaries.🔬 Its ability to structure radiology reports can enhance standardization in disease descriptions, aiding research and quality improvement. Beyond radiology, GPT-4's potential lies in making medical reports more empathetic and comprehensible for patients.😃 

• AWS and NVIDIA forge alliance for AI supercomputing advancements 🤝 
  
  AWS and NVIDIA have announced a strategic collaboration to offer advanced supercomputing infrastructure, software, and services for generative AI. This includes the integration of NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips and AWS UltraCluster scalability to create the first cloud AI supercomputer. The partnership will feature the NVIDIA DGX Cloud on AWS, the first to use NVIDIA GH200 NVL32, enhancing AI model training. Additionally, new Amazon EC2 instances powered by NVIDIA GPUs will boost generative AI, HPC, and simulation workloads. This collaboration aims to transform the landscape of AI development and applications.

• ByteDance launches large-scale model product “ChitChop” 🌐
  
  ByteDance, the tech giant behind TikTok, has launched 'ChitChop,' a versatile AI platform developed by POLIGON. This platform features over 200 robot services, spanning six crucial areas: creation, AI drawing, recreation, study, work, and life, each equipped with a variety of AI tools. The launch of ChitChop signifies ByteDance's entry into the rapidly growing global AI market, competing with other Chinese heavyweights like Huawei Cloud, Alibaba, and Baidu.
