stp2y0 CommentsViral News
(AI generated/Shutterstock) When it comes to AI-powered coding assistants, Microsoft’s Copilot has the name and the numbers.

AI can make up songs now, but who owns the copyright? The answer is complicated

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT
Artificial intelligence (AI) text and image generation tools have now been around for a while, but in recent weeks, apps for making AI-generated music have reached consumers as well. Just like other generative AI tools, the two products – Suno and Udio (and others likely to come) – work by turning a user’s prompt into output. For example, prompting for “a rock punk song about my dog eating my homework” on Suno will produce an audio file (see below) that combines instruments and vocals. The output can be downloaded as an MP3 file. Rebellious Ruff - Suno - A song…

The GenAI RAG House Revisited. Since Facebook AI introduced RAG three years ago, RAG systems have evolved from Naive to Advanced, and then to Modular RAG. But Modular RAG also added more complexity, components, interfaces, etc. to the LLMOps pipeline. Many naive RAG and advanced RAG projects never made it to prod. I know many companies that have spent a lot effort and money in building enterprise RAG apps, only to realise they couldn’t produce accurate, reliable results at a manageable cost. Building a RAG system that is scalable, cost-efficient, accurate, and modular requires deep expertise. Here are a few…

AI and Open Source in 2023

stp2y0 CommentsAI
We are slowly but steadily approaching the end of 2023. I thought this was a good time to write a brief recap of the major developments in the AI research, industry, and open-source space that happened in 2023. Of course, this article is only a glimpse of the most relevant topics that are on the top of my mind. I recommend checking out the monthly Research Highlights and Ahead of AI #4-12 issues in the Archive for additional coverage.This year, we have yet to see any fundamentally new technology or methodology on the AI product side. Rather, this year was largely…
