Flux, a newcomer in the open source community, has already exhibited extraordinary innovation less than a week after its release. I've been exploring the use of Flux on Runpod ($0.34 per hour) and, in the process, I came across a local workflow by @plasm0 that allows upscaling.
Inspired by this, I decided to run a local…
In the domain of clinical AI, it is essential to understand the pertinent reasons for incorporating AI, rather than solely focusing on the potential benefits. The choice to integrate AI should not be a whimsical decision, but one informed by concrete objectives to address specific issues.
Three distinct strategies to consider while integrating AI in…
Argentinian President Javier Milei has announced the creation of a new security unit, the Artificial Intelligence Applied to Security Unit (UIAAS). This new unit is designed to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tools to potentially predict future crimes. This represents another shift by Milei to integrate AI deeper into government operations, previously making…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have drastically changed machine learning, pushing the field from traditional end-to-end training towards the use of pretrained models with carefully crafted prompts. This move has created a compelling question for researchers: Can a pretrained LLM function similar to a neural network, parameterized by its natural language prompt?
LLMs have been used for…
To construct AI systems that can effectively collaborate with humans, a comprehensive model of human behavior is pivotal, however, humans often exhibit suboptimal decision-making. Linking this irrationality to computational limitations, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Washington have presented an innovative technique to model the behavior of a human…
Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a machine-learning accelerator that can resist the two most common types of cyberattacks while maintaining the functionality of large Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, according to senior author Anantha Chandrakasan, MIT’s chief innovation and strategy officer, dean of the School of Engineering, and the Vannevar…
Julie Shah has been named the new head of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AeroAstro) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as of May 1st. Shah is recognized for her visionary contributions to the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence.
She currently heads the Interactive Robotics Group in MIT's Computer Science and Artificial…
Researchers at MIT Lincoln Laboratory have introduced an open-source dataset called TorNet in an attempt to enable enhanced detection and prediction of tornadoes. The dataset comprises radar returns from thousands of tornadoes that struck the US over the past decade and includes copies of storms that generated tornadoes as well as other extreme weather events…
Information retrieval systems like search engines and databases have revolutionized the digital age with their ability to manage and analyze vast amounts of data rapidly and efficiently, largely based on keywords and fields in data files. With increasing volumes of audio and video files, retrieving pertinent data could be challenging as it commonly involves manual…
Large language models (LLMs), used to solve natural language processing (NLP) tasks, have seen a significant increase in their size. This increase dramatically improves the model's performance, with larger models scoring better on tasks such as reading comprehension. However, these larger models require more computation and are more costly to deploy.
The role of larger models…
