One of the new ad formats Google announced today will allow brands to link short-form videos they made—or ones they hired creators to film—to their advertisements in Google’s search engine. AI-generated text summaries of the clips will be included below. “I’ve got three Gen Z-ers at home, and watching them shop, it’s very video-based,” said Madrigal.Google also launched a tool that allows companies to create entirely new, AI-generated product images based on photos from earlier marketing campaigns and pictures that represent their brand identity. For example, a home goods brand could upload a picture of one of its candles and…

The Shift from Models to Compound AI Systems

stp2y0 CommentsAIai routers, compound ai systems, dspy, frugalgpt

AI caught everyone’s attention in 2023 with Large Language Models (LLMs) that can be instructed to perform general tasks, such as translation or coding, just by prompting. This naturally led to an intense focus on models as the primary ingredient in AI application development, with everyone wondering what capabilities new LLMs will bring. As more developers begin to build using LLMs, however, we believe that this focus is rapidly changing: state-of-the-art AI results are increasingly obtained by compound systems with multiple components, not just monolithic models. For example, Google’s AlphaCode 2 set state-of-the-art results in programming through a carefully engineered…

stp2y0 CommentsAI

In the wake of OpenAI's recent announcement of GPT-4o, a new model that processes and generates text, audio, and images in real-time, it's clear that the race for multimodal AI is heating up. Not to be outdone, researchers at Meta AI (FAIR) have just released a fascinating new paper introducing Chameleon, a family of early-fusion foundation models that also seamlessly blend language and vision. In this post, we'll do a deep dive into the Chameleon paper, exploring how it pushes the boundaries of multimodal AI in different but equally exciting ways compared to GPT-4o. We’ll also speculate a bit on…

In July last year, OpenAI announced the formation of a new research team that would prepare for the advent of supersmart artificial intelligence capable of outwitting and overpowering its creators. Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s chief scientist and one of the company’s cofounders, was named as the colead of this new team. OpenAI said the team would receive 20 percent of its computing power.Now OpenAI’s “superalignment team” is no more, the company confirms. That comes after the departures of several researchers involved, Tuesday’s news that Sutskever was leaving the company, and the resignation of the team’s other colead. The group’s work will…
