  4. OpenAI is giving $10 million in grants for the safety of Superhuman AI systems

  5. AI stats and trends:

  6. AI in action:

1) Gemini: Impressive performance and staged demo

Google introduced Gemini last week. It showed impressive performance compared to GPT4 (see comparative table below).

The Gemini product demo left many in awe with the moving cup game, the drawing of a duck vs. a rubber duck, and more. Watch the demo here. However, later, we found out that the demo had been staged, which left users with less confidence in Google's integrity.

This demo also showed that we still need detailed prompts for AI to work well. In their full report, you can see that multimodel prompting was used, and hints were included too.

2) Mistral AI drops the Mixtral 8x7B model that beats GPT-3.5

Mistral AI raised $415 million and dropped a new AI model, “Mixtral 8x7B.”. The model beats OpenAI GPT-3.5 and Meta’s Llama-2.

  • Advanced Model Architecture: Mixtral 8x7B, a high-quality sparse mixture of expert models (SMoE), surpasses existing models with its unique build and open weights.

  • Impressive Performance: Outperforms Llama 2 70B in most benchmarks and offers 6x faster inference.

  • Unparalleled Accessibility: Licensed under Apache 2.0, it is the most robust open-weight model available with the most favorable cost-performance balance.

Mixtral's capabilities include handling a 32k token context, proficiency in multiple languages (English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish), and exceptional code generation performance.

This release positions Mistral AI at the forefront of innovation in the AI field, giving developers and companies a capable open-source model at an affordable cost.

3) Intel’s new “Core Ultra CPU enables AI experience on your PC

Intel's latest launch, the Core Ultra mobile processor, marks a significant leap in PC technology by integrating AI capabilities. By 2028, Intel anticipates AI PCs will dominate 80% of the market, with the Intel Core Ultra poised to drive this transformative era in computing.

These cutting-edge processors redefine computing efficiency, offering:

  • Enhanced Performance: Improved power efficiency, compute, and graphics performance.

  • AI-Enhanced Experience: Unprecedented AI PC experience with dedicated AI acceleration.

  • Widespread Adoption: Over 230 AI PCs from top partners, including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft Surface.

4) OpenAI's $10M Grant to Navigate AI's Future: The Superalignment Fast Grants

OpenAI, in collaboration with Eric Schmidt, has initiated the "Superalignment Fast Grants," a $10 million grant program to ensure the safety and alignment of future superhuman AI systems.

Superalignment in the context of advanced AI systems refers to the process of ensuring that these AI systems behave in ways that are completely in line with human values and goals. Think of it as a way to keep these advanced AI systems on the same page as us, prioritizing our safety and interests even as they become more capable.

This program is a proactive step toward managing AI's potential and risks.

  • Future-Proofing AI: Addressing alignment challenges for superintelligent AI that may surpass human comprehension.

  • Broad-Scope Funding: Offering $100,000 to $2 million grants for academic labs, nonprofits, and individual researchers.

  • Fostering Talent: Sponsoring a one-year fellowship for graduate students.
