Google has expanded its AI chatbot, Bard, powered by Gemini Pro, to support over 40 languages in more than 230 countries. The free chatbot allows users to create images in English in most countries. With Gemini Pro enhancing Bard's understanding, reasoning, and coding abilities, the competition between top AI chatbots is tightening. Although Gemini Pro doesn't…

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, a critical tool in advanced machine learning, have transformed the understanding of large language models (LLMs) by delivering enhanced interactions with external data. This approach tackles the limitations traditionally encountered by LLMs, such as their confinement to pre-trained information and a limited contextual window. A crux in the application of RAG systems…

Abstraction in software development is essential for streamlining processes, simplifying tasks, increasing code readability and fostering code reuse. Typically, Large Language Models (LLMs) have been used to synthesize programs, but these need to be optimized for maximum efficiency as their current application often overlooks the efficiencies that could be achieved through applying common patterns. The…

Researchers from Soochow University, Microsoft Research Asia, and Microsoft Azure AI have developed a new method for image processing using Large transformer-based Language Models (LLMs). LLMs have been making advancements in Natural Language Processing and other fields like robotics, audio, and medicine. They are also being used to generate visual data, with modules like VQ-VAE…

Creating efficient Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines can be tricky due to the integral components that demand careful selection of models. While open-source embeddings like OpenAI's text-ada-002 provide decent starting points, they may not always be suitable for all cases. Hence, the field of information retrieval must explore other potential solutions. There has been remarkable progress in…

Large Language Models (LLMs) are gaining popularity in the AI community due to their impressive capabilities such as text summarization, question answering and content generation. However, the training of LLMs often involves significant computational cost and time, and is typically reliant on unstructured and often unclear web-scraped data. Additionally, the scarcity of high-quality data on…

Mobile device agents employing Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLM) are becoming more popular due to impressive advancements in visual comprehension capabilities. This technological progression makes MLLM-based agents suitable for a variety of applications, including mobile device operation. Previously, Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents have been recognized for their task planning capabilities. However, issues in the mobile…
