Summary The “Tree of Thoughts” framework combines tree search with GPT-4 to dramatically improve the problem-solving capabilities of the language model. “Tree of Thoughts” is a new framework from researchers at Princeton University and Google DeepMind for inferencing language models like GPT-4, inspired by prompt engineering methods like Chain of Thought. Unlike those, however, ToT …

Summary Meta introduces MegaByte, a method that could take the performance and efficiency of transformer models to a new level. Currently, all Transformer models use tokenizers. These algorithms convert words, images, audio, or other input into tokens that can then be processed by GPT-4 or other models as a series of numbers. For language models, …
Summary Until now, there has been no easy way to compare the quality of open-source models. An e-sports-inspired system could help. The Large Model System Organization (LMSYS), which is behind the open-source model Vicuna, has launched the benchmark platform “Chatbot Arena” to compare the performance of large language models. Different models compete against each other …

Summary A new AI chip from Meta is designed to speed up the execution of neural networks, and an upgraded supercomputer is designed to speed up the company’s own AI research. The “Meta Training and Inference Accelerator” (MTIA) is a new family of chips designed to accelerate and cheapen the processing performance of neural networks, …
Summary DragGAN opens up a whole new category of image editing, where photorealistic images are customized by the user via drag & drop. The details are handled by a GAN. Today’s methods of image manipulation, such as with tools like Photoshop, require a high degree of skill to flexibly and precisely control the position, shape, …
Summary Until now, AI has had a hard time controlling smartphone interfaces. But Google researchers seem to have found a way. To improve voice-based interaction with mobile user interfaces, researchers at Google Research have been investigating the use of large language models (LLM). Current mobile intelligent assistants are limited in conversational interactions because they cannot …

Summary HumanRF brings high-resolution 3D avatars to NeRFs. Behind it is an AI startup for synthetic media. Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) learn 3D representations from photos or videos and can render individual objects or entire scenes. Some variants specialize in moving scenes or objects, others experiment with editing capabilities, and others attempt to render people …
Summary BigCode, a joint initiative of Hugging Face and ServiceNow, introduces Starcoder and StarcoderBase, two large open-source code language models. The researchers place special emphasis on transparent and copyright-compliant data selection. The 15.5 billion parameter Starcoder models can generate code in 86 programming languages. In a novel approach, the researchers used a method called “multi-query …

Summary DetGPT gives a preview of the AI applications that will be possible with multimodal models in the future – and not just the good ones. At the GPT-4 launch, OpenAI demonstrated some multimodal capabilities, including converting a photographed and scribbled web design into code or the ability to answer questions about images, which is …
