Generative AI, especially large language models (LLMs), is revolutionizing tasks like customer support, text summarization, and voice assistants. However, many top LLMs struggle with non-English languages, such as Japanese, due to a lack of training data. The GENIAC project in Japan aims to address this by developing LLM-jp, a 172 billion-parameter model specifically for Japanese.… Continue reading Developing a 172B LLM with Strong Japanese Capabilities Using NVIDIA Megatron-LM

Google has introduced “Learn About,” an experimental AI-powered learning tool that uses the LearnLM model to help users reach their educational goals. Unlike other chatbots, it presents information in a visually interactive way, with lists, quizzes, and related media for better understanding. Currently in limited regions, Learn About sources reliable educational platforms and is expected… Continue reading Google launches AI-powered ‘Learn About’ companion for educational research

Chinese researchers, including those linked to the military, have reportedly adapted Meta’s Llama AI model for possible military uses, creating a tool called “ChatBIT.” Built on an early version of Llama, ChatBIT is tailored for intelligence gathering, operational planning, and military decision-making. Meta’s open release of Llama models includes restrictions on military use, but enforcing… Continue reading Chinese researchers develop AI model for military use on back of Meta’s Llama

The Tony Blair Institute’s report reveals how AI could change the workplace by boosting productivity, especially in jobs involving routine tasks like data analysis. While some jobs may be lost, AI is also expected to create new opportunities and drive economic growth. In sectors like education and healthcare, AI could improve learning outcomes and support… Continue reading Understanding AI’s impact on the workforce

Researchers have developed a new way to make AI language models (LLMs) more accurate without making them larger. Their method, called “Adapting While Learning,” allows the AI to check if it’s confident in an answer before deciding whether to seek help from external sources. This process helps the model tackle easier tasks on its own… Continue reading Teaching LLMs how to know when to ask for help to provide more accurate answers

NVIDIA recently introduced new tools to help robot developers, especially those working on humanoid robots, at the CoRL conference. One major release, NVIDIA Isaac Lab, is a powerful framework for training robots that developers can freely access and use for various types of robots, like humanoids or four-legged robots. Through Isaac Lab, companies worldwide, such… Continue reading NVIDIA unveils humanoid AI and simulation tools at CoRL

OpenAI’s ChatGPT now offers real-time web searching, so it can provide the latest information on things like news and stock prices. This feature is currently for paid users, launching alongside similar AI search tools from Meta, Google, and Microsoft. Unlike traditional search, which relies on matching keywords, AI-powered search understands the intent behind questions. For… Continue reading OpenAI launches an AI search engine that could compete with Google. Here’s what to know.

Meta is allowing U.S. government agencies and contractors to use its Llama AI models for national security work, partnering with companies like Amazon, Lockheed Martin, and IBM. This move is an exception to Meta’s usual policy, which restricts Llama from being used in military projects, and it’s intended to prevent foreign adversaries from misusing its… Continue reading Meta says it’s making its Llama models available for US national security applications
