The Week’s 10 Biggest Funding Rounds: xAI Laps Field In Another Slow Week

The Week’s 10 Biggest Funding Rounds: xAI Laps Field In Another Slow Week

Want to keep track of the largest startup funding deals in 2024 with our curated list of $100 million-plus venture deals to U.S.-based companies? Check out The Crunchbase Megadeals Board. This is a weekly feature that runs down the week’s top 10 announced funding rounds in the U.S. Check out last week’s biggest funding rounds here. Last week’s slowdown continued, as big rounds were hard to come by this week. One big AI round likely helped boost dollar figures — and interest — but aside from that large funding, rounds dried up. It was a holiday week, so that could…

Pre-training genomic language models using AWS HealthOmics and Amazon SageMaker | Amazon Web Services

Pre-training genomic language models using AWS HealthOmics and Amazon SageMaker | Amazon Web Services

Genomic language models are a new and exciting field in the application of large language models to challenges in genomics. In this blog post and open source project, we show you how you can pre-train a genomics language model, HyenaDNA, using your genomic data in the AWS Cloud. Here, we use AWS HealthOmics storage as a convenient and cost-effective omic data store and Amazon Sagemaker as a fully managed machine learning (ML) service to train and deploy the model. Genomic language models Genomic language models represent a new approach in the field of genomics, offering a way to understand the…

Evaluating Vision-Language Models on Bistable Images

Evaluating Vision-Language Models on Bistable Images

[Submitted on 29 May 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Evaluating Vision-Language Models on Bistable Images, by Artemis Panagopoulou and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Bistable images, also known as ambiguous or reversible images, present visual stimuli that can be seen in two distinct interpretations, though not simultaneously by the observer. In this study, we conduct the most extensive examination of vision-language models using bistable images to date. We manually gathered a dataset of 29 bistable images, along with their associated labels, and subjected them to 116 different manipulations in brightness, tint, and rotation. We evaluated…

OpenAI disrupts five covert influence operations

OpenAI disrupts five covert influence operations

In the last three months, OpenAI has disrupted five covert influence operations (IO) that attempted to exploit the company’s models for deceptive activities online. As of May 2024, these campaigns have not shown a substantial increase in audience engagement or reach due to OpenAI’s services. OpenAI claims its commitment to designing AI models with safety in mind has often thwarted the threat actors’ attempts to generate desired content. Additionally, the company says AI tools have enhanced the efficiency of OpenAI’s investigations. Detailed threat reporting by distribution platforms and the open-source community has significantly contributed to combating IO. OpenAI is sharing…
