UAE unveils new AI model to rival big tech giants

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

The UAE is making big waves by launching a new open-source generative AI model. This step, taken by a government-backed research institute, is turning heads and marking the UAE as a formidable player in the global AI race. In Abu Dhabi, the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) unveiled the Falcon 2 series. As reported by Reuters, this series includes Falcon 2 11B, a text-based model, and Falcon 2 11B VLM, a vision-to-language model capable of generating text descriptions from images. TII is run by Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council. As a major oil exporter and a key player in the Middle East, the UAE is investing heavily in…

Multiscale Vision Transformer for Video Recognition

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

Vision transformers are already good at multiple tasks like image recognition, object detection, and semantic segmentation. However, we can also apply them to data with temporal information like videos. One such use case is using Vision Transformers for video classification. To this end, in this article, we will go over the important parts of the Multiscale Vision Transformer (MViT) paper and also carry out inference using the pretraining model. Figure 1. An example output after passing a bowling video through the Multiscale Vision Transformer model. Although there are several models for this, the Multiscale Vision Transformer model stands out for…

According to a Stack Overflow survey, JavaScript was the most popular language among developers in 2023. JavaScript was initially developed for Netscape Navigator - a web browser that was developed in the middle of 1990s - and now is being used in almost every domain of programming - Web Development, Mobile app development, Game development, Machine Learning and many others. But how did a language which was developed in 10 days by Brendan Eich become so popular? In this article, we will go through the life of JavaScript from ES6, which was released in 2015 and was the second major…

Another OpenAI Researcher Quits, Issuing Cryptic Warning

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

"One of the ways tech companies in general can disempower those seeking to hold them accountable..."Another OneAnother OpenAI researcher left the company this week, ominously citing concerns over opaque "decision-making processes" in the AI industry.In a thread posted this week to X-formerly-Twitter, former OpenAI policy researcher Gretchen Kreuger announced her departure, writing that this "was not an easy decision to make." And while the ex-OpenAIer didn't quite go into detail — can't imagine why not! — about the forces that made her make that difficult choice, she did offer a cryptic warning about the lack of oversight within the AI…

Extending the RoPE

stp2y0 CommentsGenAI

Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) is an effective position-encoding technique first introduced in Su et al. (2020) [1] and later popularized in open-source models such as GPT-J, GPT-NeoX, PaLM, LLaMA, etc. We covered the mathematics and the implementation details of RoPE in this blog post about 2 years ago. Although the RoPE is limited by its pretrained context size, we will summarize a line of research that manages to extend the context length of the RoPE so that a pretrained language model can be easily adapted to fit the increasingly challenging tasks being given to LLMs. Given a sequence of tokens…

Snowflake Looks to AI to Bolster Growth

stp2y0 CommentsViral News

(Michael Vi/Shutterstock) Investors in Snowflake breathed a sigh of relief this week when the cloud data warehouser reported solid revenue growth for its first quarter and raised its guidance for the rest of the year. But questions still remain over its long-term growth, which the company is hoping that artificial intelligence will power. The company’s acquisition this week of assets of TruEra fits that mold. Snowflake on Wednesday reported $829 million in total GAAP revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2024, representing a 33% increase over the same period last year. It reported 14 cents per share, which was…

Practical Tips for Finetuning LLMs Using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)

stp2y0 CommentsAI

Low-rank adaptation (LoRA) is among the most widely used and effective techniques for efficiently training custom LLMs. For those interested in open-source LLMs, it's an essential technique worth familiarizing oneself with.Last month, I shared an article with several LoRA experiments, based on the open-source Lit-GPT repository that I co-maintain with my colleagues at Lightning AI. This Ahead of AI article aims to discuss the primary lessons I derived from my experiments. Additionally, I'll address some of the frequently asked questions related to the topic. If you are interested in finetuning custom LLMs, I hope these insights will save you some…

Bringing generative artificial intelligence to space

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

TAMPA, Fla. — Amazon Web Services is busy positioning its cloud infrastructure business to capitalize on the promise of generative artificial intelligence for transforming space and other industries. More than 60% of the company’s space and aerospace customers are already using some form of AI in their businesses, according to AWS director of aerospace and satellite Clint Crosier, up from single digits around three years ago. Crosier predicts similar growth over the next few years in space for generative AI, which uses deep-learning models to answer questions or create content based on patterns detected in massive datasets, marking a major…
