Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence project, xAI, has unveiled Grok-1.5, a multimodal AI model that outperforms competitors in interpreting real-world scenarios. Similar to models like GPT-4V, Grok-1.5 uses visual processing to analyze a range of content, from documents and diagrams to photographs and screenshots. Alongside improving capabilities in text, coding and math tasks, Grok-1.5 also expands…
Google's DeepMind researchers have made a remarkable achievement in robotics by their successful training of humanoid robots to play soccer without manual programming. The research, detailed in a study published in Science Robotics, used deep reinforcement learning (RL) to teach commercially available 20-inch tall Robotis OP3 robots intricate movement and gameplay skills. Through trial and…
Generative AI startup Uncharted Labs has recently introduced a new technology, Udio, that is able to create high-quality songs from text prompts. Taking its inspiration from Suno V3, a revolutionary AI-generated music, Udio far surpasses its predecessor in creating more complex and more nuanced pieces that may rival commercial music produced by humans.
Similar to the…
The Humane AI Pin, touted as a cutting edge AI-powered wearable device, has been criticized by major technology reviewers for falling short of its claims. Its $699 price tag has been criticized for not offering equivalent features and functionality, based on reviews from The Verge, WIRED, and The Washington Post.
The device, to be worn on…
Researchers from New York University have made significant advances in neural speech decoding, potentially helping individuals who have lost their ability to speak to regain their voice. The study, published in 'Nature Machine Intelligence', presents a deep learning framework that accurately translates brain signals into intelligible speech. This could potentially be used by individuals who…
The race to develop powerful, efficient artificial intelligence (AI) hardware took a significant step forward this week, with Intel and Google both revealing new chips aimed at reducing their dependence on NVIDIA’s technology. While NVIDIA’s GPUs currently power a majority of cloud computing data centers used for AI model training, both tech giants are looking…
In a recent interview with Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk predicted that human-level artificial intelligence (AI) could be realised by the end of next year. NBIM is the manager of the world's largest publicly held financial fund, the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund, which is increasingly…
Meta AI hosted an event in London on Tuesday where discussions revolved around topics such as the democratization of artificial intelligence, AI's potential threats to democracy, and the upcoming release of Meta's Llama 3.

Recent research has shown that the latest AI language model by Anthropic, Claude 3 Opus, is capable of generating persuasive arguments comparable to those crafted by human beings. The study was spearheaded by Esin Durmus and it looked into the link between the model scale and its persuasiveness across various versions of Anthropic language models.…
A collective team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Adobe, Princeton University, and the Allen Institute for AI have carried out a study to ascertain the accuracy and quality of summaries produced by Large Language Models (LLMs) when summarizing book-length narratives. The purpose of this research was to observe how well AI models…
Founded in 1993, NVIDIA, known for cutting-edge technology innovation, started as a designer of graphics chips for the gaming industry. Now, it has grown into a global leader in AI and high-performance computing, valued at around $2 trillion. As the third largest company in the world by market cap, it surpasses giants such as Amazon…
