Deep Dive 🔍

• xAI and Elon Musk launch Grok 1.5 🚀 
  
  xAI, in collaboration with Elon Musk, unveils the newest version of their AI, Grok 1.5. This edition enhances its analytical prowess and extends its contextual understanding to 128,000 tokens, showcasing superior performance in coding and mathematical benchmarks. Anticipated to be accessible to initial testers and present Grok users via X, Grok 1.5 promises an innovative "Analysis" feature for summarizing conversations on the platform. Its proficiency, mirroring that of GPT-4, coupled with real-time data integration from X and a potential partnership with Midjourney, positions Grok 1.5 as a formidable contender in the AI domain.

• AI fact-checking is more accurate and 20 times cheaper than human effort, study finds 🔍
  
  A study by UC Berkeley and Google DeepMind reveals AI language models with internet access surpass human annotators in factuality, supported by the Search-Augmented Factuality Evaluator (SAFE). SAFE's agreement with humans stands at 72%, proving more reliable and cost-effective. The study's insights are crucial for enhancing AI reliability in real-world applications, suggesting a future where AI and internet search merge seamlessly.
  

  

• Intel confirms Microsoft's Copilot AI will soon run locally on PCs 🖥️
  
  Microsoft's Copilot AI is set to run locally on upcoming PCs, according to Intel, marking a shift towards less cloud dependency and enhancing performance and privacy. Future PCs will require NPUs with a minimum of 40 TOPS to support Copilot's local operations, with Microsoft opting for NPU over GPU usage to preserve battery life. This move towards local AI processing, mirrored in Google's Pixel 8, signals a brewing "TOPS war" among chip manufacturers to cater to the rising need for robust AI-capable hardware.
  

  

• Google launches $20M generative AI accelerator program 🌐 
  
  Launching a $20 million funding initiative, Google aims to advance generative AI within the nonprofit sector, collaborating with 21 entities such as Quill and World Bank. Participants will benefit from a holistic support system, encompassing financial aid, technical workshops, and direct mentorship from Google experts, to overcome prevalent barriers like cost and the need for specialized training.

• OpenAI launches program to pay developers based on usage of their GPT models 🧑‍💻
  
  OpenAI is pioneering a pilot program to financially reward US developers for deploying their GPT models, currently under early testing with specifics on revenue sharing yet to be outlined. Despite facing hurdles like moderation challenges and GPT misuse, OpenAI is ahead in the race, with Elon Musk's xAI trailing. Future enhancements for GPT-4 and DALL-E 3 are also in development.
  

  

•  AI21 Labs unveils open-sourced Jamba 🤘
  
  AI21 Labs has launched Jamba, an open-source AI blending Mamba SSM with traditional transformers for a unique hybrid system. With a 256K context window and 3x faster processing for extended texts, Jamba operates on a single 80GB GPU. This innovation democratizes access to advanced LLMs for both businesses and researchers by minimizing hardware demands.

• DBRX: The best open-source model yet from a surprise player
  
  Outshining Grok, Mixtral, and LLama2, Databricks Mosaic's latest model is twice as efficient and adept at coding, even surpassing GPT-4 in certain tests. Trained with a significant $10 million compute on 12 trillion tokens, it benefits from OpenAI's 100k tiktoken tokenizer for enhanced data processing, with valuable contributions to the MegaBlocks open-source project. 🎓
