POA: Pre-training Once for Models of All Sizes

POA: Pre-training Once for Models of All Sizes

arXiv:2408.01031v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large-scale self-supervised pre-training has paved the way for one foundation model to handle many different vision tasks. Most pre-training methodologies train a single model of a certain size at one time. Nevertheless, various computation or storage constraints in real-world scenarios require substantial efforts to develop a series of models with different sizes to deploy. Thus, in this study, we propose a novel tri-branch self-supervised training framework, termed as POA (Pre-training Once for All), to tackle this aforementioned issue. Our approach introduces an innovative elastic student branch into a modern self-distillation paradigm. At each pre-training step,…

NVIDIA’s AI team reportedly scraped YouTube, Netflix videos without permission

NVIDIA’s AI team reportedly scraped YouTube, Netflix videos without permission

In the latest example of a troubling industry pattern, NVIDIA appears to have scraped troves of copyrighted content for AI training. On Monday, 404 Media’s Samantha Cole reported that the $2.4 trillion company asked workers to download videos from YouTube, Netflix and other datasets to develop commercial AI projects. The graphics card maker is among the tech companies appearing to have adopted a “move fast and break things” ethos as they race to establish dominance in this feverish, too-often-shameful AI gold rush.The training was reportedly to develop models for products like its Omniverse 3D world generator, self-driving car systems and…

Google Search Is an Illegal Monopoly, US Judge Rules

Google Search Is an Illegal Monopoly, US Judge Rules

Google is now 0 for 2 in antitrust trials. United States District judge Amit Mehta ruled on Monday that Google has unlawfully maintained its dominance in search by using anticompetitive deals to keep rivals from gaining traction. And without fear of pressure from competitors, Google has been able to charge whatever it wants for search ads, he said.“The trial evidence firmly established that Google’s monopoly power, maintained by the exclusive distribution agreements, has enabled Google to increase text ads prices without any meaningful competitive constraint,” Mehta wrote in a 286-page ruling. “Unconstrained price increases have fueled Google’s dramatic revenue growth…

CFBench: A Comprehensive Constraints-Following Benchmark for LLMs

CFBench: A Comprehensive Constraints-Following Benchmark for LLMs

arXiv:2408.01122v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The adeptness of Large Language Models (LLMs) in comprehending and following natural language instructions is critical for their deployment in sophisticated real-world applications. Existing evaluations mainly focus on fragmented constraints or narrow scenarios, but they overlook the comprehensiveness and authenticity of constraints from the user's perspective. To bridge this gap, we propose CFBench, a large-scale Comprehensive Constraints Following Benchmark for LLMs, featuring 1,000 curated samples that cover more than 200 real-life scenarios and over 50 NLP tasks. CFBench meticulously compiles constraints from real-world instructions and constructs an innovative systematic framework for constraint types, which includes…

Shimmer effect in Card when you load Supabase dashboard.

Shimmer effect in Card when you load Supabase dashboard.

When loading a dashboard, especially one as feature-rich as Supabase’s, it’s essential to provide visual feedback to users indicating that content is being loaded. A popular and visually appealing way to achieve this is by using a shimmer effect. This effect simulates a loading state and keeps users engaged while the actual content is being fetched. Let’s explore how Supabase implements a shimmer effect in their dashboard using the animate property and some creative CSS. Shimmer Effect Using the Animate Property The ShimmeringCard component in Supabase's source code showcases how to create a shimmering loading effect using a combination of…

The rise of the ‘machine defendant’ – who’s to blame when an AI makes mistakes?

The rise of the ‘machine defendant’ – who’s to blame when an AI makes mistakes?

Few industries remain untouched by the potential for transformation through artificial intelligence (AI) – or at least the hype. For business, the technology’s promise goes far beyond writing emails. It’s already being used to automate a wide range of business processes and interactions, coach employees, and even help doctors analyse medical data. Competition between the various creators of AI models – including OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic and Google – will continue to drive rapid improvement. We should expect these systems to get much smarter over time, which means we may begin to trust them with more and more responsibility. The big…

Why Apple could be a loser in Google’s antitrust defeat

Why Apple could be a loser in Google’s antitrust defeat

A federal judge just ruled against Google in a major antitrust case. Apple could be caught in the blowback.That's because a big part of the government's case against Google — that it has an illegal monopoly in search — focuses on deals Google makes with platforms and device-makers to be their default search engine.And the biggest one of those is the one Apple has with Google, where Google pays Apple tens of billions of dollars a year — $20 billion in 2022 alone — to have pole position on the iPhone.Judge Amit P. Mehta's ruling, which holds that those deals…
